It was not just the flares, for the pople who have not seen this car here is an image of it with the diffuser out the back... has more aero than some open cars

don't single Nev out - the rules have been broken in Clubsprint for years, so if you want to be competitive you don't have much choice but to do the same. And there's certianly others there this year with just as much aero and flares... So its not like it a was totally unfair fight.

And it is an awesome time on street rubber!

Not singling Nev out at all that comment was directed at the flares, below is my post from 2 pages ago...

Nev first of all I have to say well done on the lap time, it is very impressive lap time for a harder track compound tyre. In my eyes it’s not only the flares being the problem, you had a large alloy rear diffuser hanging out the back a front carbon splitters and canards. But you were not the only one with these mods this year or previous years.

The way most of us read the rules you can’t use these items in clubsprint and this will be enforced a lot next year after what happened if I have anything to do with it. After going over the clubsprint cars we could have thrown around 10+ cars out of the class due to not complying with the rules.

Ah well, if I knew Pilot Sport Cup 60 treadwear tyres and fender flares where ok. I would have bolted up some 295 tyres all around.

Epic time set by Nev for sure. I mean that is the same bracket as Russ on soft 295 AO50s...

The boys in the garage next to me had a crate cosworth wrx, brakes, engine the lot. 400kw at the treads.

I would love the Top Gear UK test of, "can it get over a speed bump? If not the time around the track doesn't count."

Agreed. If they're meant to be street registered cars in the clubsprint class, they should not be allowed to have as many aero mods or such low ground clearance. Also, reading through the rules last night, it was not clear as to whether cars could have their engines enlarged. I'm sure a number of cars had stroker kits? Also what's with the restrictions against rear mounted sixes? That seems like a blatant no-porsche rule?

First of all, huge congrats to Nev, the thing is a well sorted package. Nev enters that thing in street registed classes all the time in Qld events. Even though this has nothing to do with WTA, in my opinion, It does make a mockery of the intent of the class. Might be a dumb question, what is the point of having club sprint cars registed if cars like Nevs WRX is elligable?

Has anyone got any images of Nemo on a fast lap mid corner, i would love to see the tyre sidewall flex from the load its under.

Anyone know how much tyre pressure you have to run in tyres with cars with so much aero or dose it not effect the tyre in that way?

Well done out there this weekend man! I was cut i was beaten by a Nissan..what made it worse a GTsT!! haha.

More power doesnt mean quicker times lol. I could not keep my car straight!! Was great fun tho!!

I agree with the rules, I had a diffuser (Which broke on teh last turn anyways) but ive always had it there as a rice thing, I don't think it even gains any performance!

?Uestlove (nice username btw), your Supra sounded epic. Nice car man. How do you find the Supras as track cars compared to other stuff you driven in the past?

Thanks ras. Love it. Best thing about it is reliability. Im running 370rwkw, stock engine, stock cams, GT35r, Sotkc LSD, aftermarket 800cc injectors, bigger fuel pump, and power fc. Ibe had this combo for 3.5 years, has been to the track many times, with out *knocks wood* any major issues (Only one issue WTAC last year, silicon hose kept blowing and this year, APR wing mounts broke). On semis its great, but with street tyres its hard to drive lol. Car turns in really good (Compared to say an EVO) but powering out is where its challenging. The Corner speed is good (Im hitting an indicated 180km at Turn 1 EC on the Street tyres). Its not as "chuckable" as an MX5 of course, but its fun to drive and predictable.

I will hopefully enter next year again

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
