Thats farked. They are cheaper then the street yoko tyres people are running and way, way cheaper then A050s :(

If enough people run them. We will create a. Class to suit.

You can still run them now, but cannot accure points.

FIrst round championship results are up

sorry for the delay but WRX club have still not released the official results but I don;t think any-one from SAU got any penalties so we should be fine.

Actually john, your carbon bonnet qualifies as a large weight reduction, also putting you in modified class.. and probably should have been in other rounds if you had it on last year. Also it's the cannards as well as you said the rear wing i.e. non-factory aero

OK so as we have found out WRX are cancelling their round in June.

We looked at a number of solutions to this including picking up the date ourselves and running the day, however we don;t feel we have enough time to get it sorted properly and advertised enough to fill.

So what we ahve decided is to Pick another track day on the same day and run with that.

After talking to a few of the regulars it was 100% in favor of running another PI event.

AROCA are doing a day on the 30th and run a very professional event.

So round 3 will now be PI on the 30th, information will be posted when entries are up.

AROCA do sell out fairly fast so I encourage people to get entries in ASAP when entries are open.

Cheers

Martin

updated xls should be up tonight or tomorrow with the updated info in it.

That is up to interpretation.

Canards yes, for sure. Although they do 10 tenths of f**k all.

Bonnet, major weight saving...like I said, that is up to interpretation. Under 1% of the cars total weight.

Easiest thing to do is for you to get back out on the track with a car that does more than 3 laps! lol

Will you be back out there this year? I'll be on AO50's for SAU Nats at this stage.

*chuckle*

Open for interpretation indeed. Either way, it's about time you stepped up to modified RWD class instead of taking easy class/championship wins because you had no real competition in standard RWD hence getting the 10 points every round :D I look forward to it.

My car is actually just being finished this week but I'm not sure when I will take it to the track next, maybe the next Sandown club sprint. Not fussed about championship rounds this year... just want to give it a shakedown and see how it runs. I'm thinking of ditching my long time trusted bridgestone RE55's and switching to AO50's, I know they are a quick tyre. Hankooks are a possibility too.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
