Sau Vic 2012 Motorsport Championship Round 5 - Sandown 11Th August


Recommended Posts

Are you using a heatgun on the paint Aaron?

yeh you need one

Yes you will need to for sure. Rob did his with a roller and gun, plus some scotch.

Athid is a sure bet though, will be done perfect.

Athid is the bawwwss when it comes to guard rolling.

Yeh Athid was really good, he did my stagea. called him about a few cars though (mine and a e46) and he didnt want to touch them - for fair enough reasons, I wanted mine flared to all buggery which he didnt want to do because of the paint, and e46 guards are a pain in the ass and told me the guy will struggle to fit the wheels.

ended up buying a guard roller, and heat gun for what it wouldve cost, and did it myself. e46 guy was pulling himself, and alot of BMW owners started calling me offering $150 per guard!!

and I flared mine a shite load which I was happy with!

plus done a few guards now and the roller and gun payed themselves off = win for me

Yeh took me about 3-4 days about 2-3 hours each day to get them absolutely right!

Using di-grinders and everything to push out the inner guard. When he gets back from Miami I'll get some pictures..

But here's a pic of what he did to the e46 a few weeks back. So I sent him this

Uy4we+pu_original.jpg

it's an external GPS receiver.

so much more accurate than the one in you phone.

you connect this to your phone via bluetooth and run software such as:

http://www.racechrono.com/

this is the most common one as it free.

then you can download track from their site, and you get trap points lap times and speed logged, which can be overlaid on your video similar to Richo or JP's

this is also how we give real vmax and such not relying on inaccurate speedos.

If I get addicted to Tracking after Sandown

I think I will look into highflowing my turbo, just so my old stock 160,000km turbo doesn't decide to shatter itself and take bits of the engine with it.

I'll keep the injectors stock so I can still compete in the 'standard' class :P

Should be good for 220-230rwkw and more reliable for the track

I could just change the rears and step back down....

Give us noobs a chance

The only trophy I got is one with someone else's name on it from the SAU VIC Storage locker LOL

after trying semi's there no going back anyhow

no point spending money to go slower.

I have no need for trophy's..

A good drive is the only prize I need :D

true homo words.

The next std class champion in the making right here. Who will step up :happy:

wait what class would that put me in if i was to enter?

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
