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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
