9th out of 86 cars

brakes epic

handcock rubber heaps better than r888's

Great work Pete! Awesome result, especially considering your success ballast (you can successfully find beer and pizza better than most).

Seriously though, it's an awesome effort in a home built car done on a shoestring budget. Tight Wad Racing (TWR) FTMFW!

Nulon Nats done and dusted
turns out my love for 4wheel smoke shows from the start line has taken it toll on the little os twin plate
Buladelah is a epic fun little track
even better when run one is also the recce run
run two and the clutch gave up was flaring through all gears
Duncan got it running and i babied it up the hill one more time
then game over. had to start it in gear to get it on the trailer
still managed 10th outright on a slipping clutch run
this may be the one that got away as the car with a working clutch would have been in the top 3 sleasy as
anyway here is the vid... listen to that f**ker slip in 3rd and 4th



there were some epic crashes
one evo rolled 3 times that f**ker was lucky and f6 tanked a embankment so hard it kinked the roof
cage time for me

next weekend off to ec see if i can run a low 40
os tripple will be in tomorrow so that should allow me to break things other than the clutch

just some other pics

and who says 310-350rwkw + front and rear LSD's + uphill hill climb launches+ soft 295 semis are good for a twin plate

i would say its done about 100 launches in its 5k of driving and lots of clutch kicking mid corner when off boost

was not blue when i stuck it in

lol

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
