Thanks for these

was thinking of PIARC but off to SAU Karts.

There is also PI with AROCA but I'm out of town as I scheduled a Thai holiday to be back for cancelled WRX event

Tampered, will consider this as it's just been raised, even if Winton was the last event

Maybe I need inspiration and use this time to plan something different, drive try Tasmania, Sydney MSP, Bathurst Regularity etc

CircuitClub are out at Winton on 13th July.

Hey Peter what sort of turn out do they get? Good bunch of people?

I went back to Winton earlier this month after our SAU round and got down to a 1:42.6 from the previous 1:44 so I'm super keen to go improve on that again!

hmmm.. circuit club.

Do I need a fire extinguisher?

No, however you may carry one if you wish. There are fire extinguishers located at various points on the racetrack and the location will be made aware to you during the drivers briefing.

Is there scrutineering?

No. However you need to ensure that your car is safe and in good working condition.

And if the driver doesn't check their car?? :unsure: I'm sure they are a good group of enthusiasts, but these two points raised an eyebrow.

You guys aren't serious are you? Not like they're checking brakes or for oil leaks?

Scruinteering usually consists of brake light check, boot empty, helmet sticker, fire ext date and battery is clamped in. If you get some OCD type, they'll ask where your valve caps are....

I'll give the day a shot (at my own peril of course) if I can find the time.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
