New suspension is amazing. Was carrying a lot more speed through 3 and hayshed (both around 200km/hr through the middle now which is significantly faster than before).

I had a lot more confidence in what the car was doing mid corner to what it was like previous.

It was a good thing but still needs a few tweaks. Was a bit lose under brakes from big stops - but especially interesting into turn 1 and between 11 and 12! :) New wing going on Monday might help that though.

I may have done a 1.43.8 too.

Is anyone going to be posting Vids in here?

Unfortunately I'm out of the country while its on, and after going last year, I'd really love to see some footage from this year.

The website had live timing too I think last year, yeah?

Could have a wet track at times going of the forecast, also the wind speed is high...

Should make for some good driving to watch

unfortunately that will only mean even less running for the big guns - no point wasting tyres (and the car!) on a wet or damp track...

If it does rain, pray it rains all weekend and you'll see a mad dash on Saturday for the top guns trying to put in one fast lap in the afternoon. Could get quite interesting if they're not used to the circuit in the wet.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
