and whilst we are being logical, i honestly don't see the point in limiting to certain "DOT Approved" tyres. When you look at how wild front running WTA "cars" are they have virtually nothing to do with anything which is DOT approved or street legal whatsoever.

Honestly - I don't see the point to Clubsprint in Time Attack. It's kind of completely against the point of the event to run stockish cars. And this is coming from someone who was supposed to be in Clubsprint. It just doesn't feel like it belongs at this event and given the fastest Clubsprint cars were all bloody open class cars anyways, I think if a field of cars ran around in the guise the class was supposed to be then everyone would just look at them and think "why are they here?".

I reckon they'd be better off having more Open cars and splitting 4WD and 2WD categories and giving more reward / focus to good 2WD entries.

So instead of 50 Open class cars and 25 Clubsprint they could have roughly 30 AWD Open and 30 2WD Open cars and scrap Club. Top 5 from each get Pro invites for the following year.

My 2c anyways.

That sounds like a good idea. It would move to stop every car entered being an Evo also.

I find it hilarious that STI's, being an Evo competitor/rival, was no where to be seen! Cannot discredit an Evo because it is a very well engineered car/chassis and is a tuner's dream... whether it be dirt, snow and tarmac. An Evo even took out the drift comp lol

At the pro level the car doesn't really matter.

Evo's are popular because they are well, popular Lol I wouldn't say they represent a better overall package one way or another especially when you're basically talking about sports sedan levels of chassis development.

I've always noticed a big difference in the 2 cars. The Evo engine will produce bigger power easier than the Sti. It seems to be far easier to make a quick club lever car out of them over the Sti. Yet I would say the Sti is a far more popular street car then the Evo for them masses and the Evo is more for the people that know what cars are.

Ordered :thumbsup:

STIs can oversteer... why would you want an EVO?

Give that man a raise!

I prefer STi's to Evo's - but the Evo is a better club car.

Finally got my story finished - as part of Mark Berry's crew this year with my ATTESA controllers etc. I have put it up on my website www.timeattacktalk.com

I will hopefully get the tech one written this week with data logging results etc. (still catching up on sleep :) )

Interesting article Paulie, In the couple of brief chats I had with Mark he was pumped with the performance and tuneability of the new controllers.

And I could not agree more with the comments on the 32 gtr. That car sounds amazing.

I like the way you think!

Wish that was true and a skyline was up the front... Clearly the 4cyl (lighter) cars have a bit of an edge over the cars that men drive...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
