Great too see everyone down at the track. We had some logistical issues with trophies and food on the day. But we plan on making that up in the new year, so stay tuned.

Great photo's!

Anyone with in-car video

Doh, one time my misses comes down, plus actually gets in the car - go pro was set to ONF so missed capturing her asking me to slow down on the warm up lap!

Wife/son loved the event so big thanks to the organisers for risking/organising a different type of day.

Didn't get much time to talk as i was loving the chance to ride with others, experience 4 wheel power down etc - highlight has to be ride with Silkgod - Paul it was awesome even at 80%, thanks.

wtf richo!! i'm freakin out about being black flagged for taking turn 1 too hot etc and you're gallavanting around sideways!! hahahahah :D - i guess they know you, how you can drive etc...

Was a brilliant day combining social and motorsport together, great concept :) SAU should definitely have a crack or perhaps get WRX club to do more days like it.

I was garaged next to Henry from Cosmic Performance? (Cosmic was at least in the name) - really nice guy, always helps having a tuner right next to you :D - had a boost controller question with my EVC, jumped in, beep beep beep, all done and fixed :) Also went passenger in his standard WRX but with big brakes, great handling little car out of the box and his brake upgrade was fantastic. A kit he developed.

Also went passenger in Paul's R34....... my word............ GRIP! I know it's a tarmac rally car but seriously, the turn-in on that thing was off the charts! The amount of cornering speed it could carry was just ridiculous, and it still felt quite settled, definitely seemed like you could throw more at it depending on the size of ones balls :D - brakes were obviously fantastic as well, just an amazing package all round. Huge thanks for Paul for a passenger lap at the end of the day.

Happy with how my car went, even though i wasn't pushing it. I'd just putt putt around the corners and just mash it on the straights :D - for those wondering about front/back straight speeds (discussion in another thread) i was getting to around 240 before i chickened out to brake :D

Thanks to Aaron for tool borrowage as well :)

Not a problem at all Dan and great to get a chance to hang out.

Best for the day was a 1:24 so still a few seconds off 1:21pb but temps would have a bit to do with that - also growing back said knackers to carry more speed through turn 6! Was an awesome day great format, lots off fun tussling with the rexies, and that dinner afterwards was fantastic. Those wood fired pizza guys know how to roast a joint.

No worries man!

That race r32 shouldn't have been on the track imo

I hear that he had to keep his speed down a little because someone was dropping some pink transmission fluid onto the track...

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
