Richos R33 Gtst

[ssxRicho]

So same deal as before, just with more rubber on the front and more track font the offset.

[ssxRicho]

Had an encounter with the wall at Sandown

[ssxRicho]

That wasnt going to slow things down

Two weeks later, back at it.

[ssxRicho]

Now Chris in the white 33gtr and I are around the same times. To the constant detest of Chris

This particular Phillip Island track day sums up why I do this. So very awesome.

[ssxRicho]

Still on 255 RSR's, I added a piece of door seal to the front bar.

looked better, though im sure it was not doing anything for drag...

[ssxRicho]

Mid year in there had another one of 'those' track day, too much fun.

[ssxRicho]

The thing is still driven pretty often on the weekend,

[ssxRicho]

Then came an opportunity to compete at Track Battle in the Calder Park thunder dome.

I wasn't going to say no, when do you get an opportunity to compete in a dome???

[ssxRicho]

The car actually still has the ding in the side, we just home job panel beeted it.

[ssxRicho]

At this point I start to feel the tyres are letting me down. I'm doing the same time each track day I go to.

Enter Yokohama.

Also changed back to a full set of enkeis.

SAU Nationals 2011 comes around.

[ssxRicho]

You'll notice there is not much 'building' going on here. Sorry, there just isn't any.

It's been bolt some stuff on a go to track days.

[ssxRicho]

So we are at the end of 2011 now.

[ssxRicho]

But the wicked don't rest.

The car is unchanged, even the same set of AD08s.

Changes pads and oil...

[ssxRicho]

There was some more trophies.

Some people go to queendland for the theme parks, others the beaches. i went as my brother was up there and had his car for me to drive around lakeside

[ssxRicho]

About now it's time to try some of this aero stuff.

[ssxRicho]

Again, it's all about the track days.

wings are multi purpose.

[ssxRicho]

Mid way through 2012 the bump is still in the side of the car.

And the decision is made...WTAC is a go this year.

[ssxRicho]

So i need to get the bar lower.

This is a viva garage lip, which lowers things down about 15mm.

[ssxRicho]

We made the splitter out of 2mm alloy and attached it with brakets to the chassis rails and the front bar.

It worked, knocked 2 seconds off with the rear wing and front splitter

[ssxRicho]

Next up WTAC 2012.

And some more power, via E85, 850cc injectors and z32 afm.

I'd had S15 injectors in for one even, just to test and see if the turbo would yield more power.

so S15 vs 850cc here.
