Last month the final round of the Kumho Lap Battle championship was completed. Over the 3 rounds we visited Wakefield Park twice and Eastern Creek to wrap it all up in the company of the WRX Club and Evolution Oz. The variety of cars that attended was great, everything from lightly modded street cars through to some pretty serious machines that you might have seen at WTAC earlier in the year. The points were close and the winners were not set in stone until the last event was over and the drivers packed up for the trip home.

All of this wouldn't be possible without the entrants so thank you to those that attended even 1 event. To those who couldnt make it or were hesistant, we hope we can see you on the track next year.

The event was generously supported by Kumho Tyres through Fsport. That support means the three class winners will take home a $1000 voucher towards Kumho Motorsport Tyres. The sponsorship also saw 6 winners take home round prizes with a $500 credit towards tyres. I cant speak highly enough of John from Fsport's willingness to support club level motorsports so if you are in the market for motorsport tyres give John a call on 1300 4 KUMHO or jump on www.fsport.com.au to check for the latest specials.

The class winners are:

Open - Greg Boyle

Club - Ben Kirker

Street - Michael Hill

Congratulations to the winners!

I think the performance between the two clubs was a good match and a lot of fun. RENEW pulled second in each category so we'll keep the winners on their toes :thumbsup: We're working on our events for next year and will be in touch with the SAU NSW committee to see if there are any mutually beneficial opportunities to go racing together next year. I'm sure a greater SAU presence would be welcomed if we can get back to Eastern Creek in a multi club event.

Agreed, and I hope the SAU committee has some track events next year for everyone (SAU and RENEW) to enjoy. I guess it depends on how much effort they focus on the Ashnats vs running events for the members.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
