We have been using a Motorsport systems strain gauge. I flat shift 3rd to 4th and clutch other gears, not sure how dean our driver does it, I'm still learning so I was advised to only flat change 3rd to 4th. I messgaed Ex bsm to find out what happened few days ago but no response as yet.

This was the recommended and only way ;) now Incorporate the ikeya shifter somehow!!! :P

Shared a garage with the sigworth car last year at wtac.. certainly not your regular backyard crew.. Was very well oiled and everyone seemed to have a place,... Times improved every session but testing was lacking from what I could see... Didn't realise how quick the QR times were... Pro Am seems to be the right class! (Phew) :)

Probably be free for those guys

Looks awesome the car list so far

Throw a time attack car in for a laugh

Set of AD08s coming next week for some random testing in the weeks to come

Did you pick up the tires locally with the wtac deal?

Where u testing? Should tee something up when I'm ready !

Nah no info on the deal but I shopped around and found a place which had stock, and only set me back $375 a tyre!! So well under the price Yokohama have on their website

Probably go Wakefield for a day then get out to EC when the tuner has his Evo ready and his pro driver gives me tips hahaha

If anyone is interested there is a set of 265/35/18 AD08s for sale brand new for $1500

Same guy i went to get mine today

If you are interested give Tyres & More Wetherill Park a call

He has one set left and there is not alot of stock in sydney nearly 0!!

For a reference point as I'm not familiar with the track, what kind of lap times would the pro class drivers of last year do, ie mark berry gtr 34, or even his 32 and other drivers?

I noticed the byp integra is up there's with em, is the circuit more like Winton? As in better suited to light weight cars that handle than overall power if you get what I mean.

That front diff and transfer case Richo put in is doing the job :)

ah noooooooew.

We ran out of fuel!!! Ended up with a 1.04.9. Had a low 1.04 in it, but wasn't to be.

Huge challenge even to make the event. The old man and my brother put in a big effort.

In the weekends leading up to it we dropped a heap of weight, did heaps of maintenance to suspension bits, changed the diff (mine is broken, no time to fix), borrowing brake pads on Monday night (i was working in sydney tues-fri) and in the days before get a wheel alignment and new tyres (on Friday).

At a track I'd been too once before, with tyres I'd never run before (z222 285/35), with no ABS (borrowed diff was a non ABS unit) we ended up 4th in Club, so very close to 3rd.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
