so close but yet so far.

we bought 150L of fuel and ran out mid way through day two. no-one had any to borrow.

ended up 4th in club. needed another coulpe of tenths to pip 3rd place.

1.04.9 so the target was achieved. 1.04.5 would have been better.

amazingly cold, took a good 3 laps to get the tyres up to operating temp, thus the fuel use.

Congrats man, that unreal time especially on street tyres!

Did the pointers help you out at all?

What fuel were you using? I went through a tank in the evo i was driving (gtr broke lol, story of gtr ownership really) and im pretty sure we went through about 4 tanks in the WRX (30l).

Spot on about it taking ages for tyres to come on, was sooo shit. Congrats btw, great placing considering some of the cars you were up against. You have a well setup combo there :)
Was great to watch you come onto the main straight too ;)

Picked up some time in turn one for sure.

Also improved the line through 3-4 and 8.

The car is tuned on United pump E85.

Ah ok. Yeah the Bright green ultimate tunes evo. the first day was very average (first time driving the car + street pads :/)

Second day got down to a 67.3 which i thought was alright on the same tyres from the wakefield 300 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
