Was a great day to kick the new year off going around in circles :yes:

The heat kept me from setting a PB, but still managed to have a couple of exciting moments...

had a look under the bonnet and everything was intact, but looked like fuel had run amok somehow. was covering the front intercooler piping near the headers. So i reckon fuel + heat. Very lucky no ignition. It was on E85, so didnt smell like petrol or oil, perhaps makes a different smoke.

:blink:

oh dear, that was epic!

PS. the noise on my videos from tyre squeal gets me giggling like a school girl.

Another awesome event! Lucky there was a nice sea breeze cos it was hot out there!!

Great video FINER6 of the Evo! We were walking to the pits and all of a sudden saw the Evo's massive plume of smoke! Wish we had a photo of it but was too in awe of what was going on! haha

A few of our photos from the event. We've posted a short writeup too http://www.circuitthreads.com/wrx-sau-round-1-phillip-island/

Hope to make the next round!

Some nice photos in there. Noticed a few photographers in various spots, love to see some more around the track.

In car and data of my PB and FTD.

Really liked your 86! the colour looks really nice with the sun shining off it!

Managed to get down to turn 1 and planned to see how far we could get around the track....but then got told off by the marshalls!

Artz and I were sitting in that "spectators" section as well and got told off. AND got told off for watching from where the cars enter back to pits

Funny bunch they are. If it makes you feel any better scrutineering gave me a hard time over my velo harness for being FIA and SFI certified, then tried to tell me that it wasn't possible and must be fake or mismatched set.

Something for the SAU committee but what about hiring a garage at these events for the club?

Few people usually get them to get out of the weather so instead maybe get one as SAU for all the club members to gather and shoot the breeze between sessions?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
