What a great day had an absolute ball

Well done to all the guys who competed unlucky with the weather, surprised myself with that time hahaha

Big thanks to the guys that made the trip up to come and show support for the club really appreciate the support

Can't wait for the next one!!!

Great vids keep them coming!!

Great day watching some pretty damn impressive machinery; had pretty much every kind of weather except snow today!

Seeing the cars belt up the hill through T2 & T3 was spectacular!

Saw a bloody epic launch from you before the rain set in Nick; great stuff. ;)

Well done to all the competitors & organisational staff; and to everyone who came out for the day.

The highlights for me had to be the Blown XY that you could hear from everywhere as it slid it's way up the hill; and the Aurion V6 powered AE86 that drifted the course quicker than some cars were driving normally.
That & the Green Clubsport with the side exit. epic boganmobile.

Took vids...

Well done guys!

This old fellah has to drop off minidisk to Eric as I forgot yesterday.

Talking about old phogies I counted at least a dozen older than me yesterday. Boy did I feel good!

Thanks to everyone for heading up to support the club team today.

It was a great event, shame it finished a bit early due to the big storm. Lots of quick cars although some of the fancy time attack did not end up at the pointy end of the field.

1st was heafy's evo, 2nd fernance evo, 3rd mckinnon.

Our guys came home:

Nick 8th 41.24

Brian 11th 42.32

Matt 30th 46.63

Me 32nd 46.75

Maurice 41st 51.38

Well done for everyone giving it a go in tricky conditions, and from me particular thanks to Neil for handing over Cheryl's keys when I couldn't get ready in time.

And most of all, good on Nulon for putting this event together, looking forward to the next round at wake on 4 July

Was crap conditions and a shame we only got 1 sighting lap and 2 wet runs BUT it was still great fun and great to hang out with you guys! We enjoyed it!

Where else can you rip an epic skid next to a HWP car :O lol

Yes, was a shame that too few got dry runs. The field might have changed if that had happened.

I am pretty damn sure it would have changed the day... I guess it was just pot luck! Group 1 had the better luck for the first run but Group 2 definitely had the advantage for the 3rd and final run! Luckily we had the Guru Nick running in the opposite group :yes: I would have had another crack in the wet if they had let us but they called it a day :(

Big thanks for Nulon for putting the event on, shame I never got a quick dry run, my very first run in the dry was the quickest while still finding where the road went, next two run had a wet track which was a bugger, But ready to go for next year now I know the track :)

Yep my first run was the quickest time of the day too which was a bit sad as i was cruising and lost lol

The quickest speed of the day was on the 3rd run...

I was looking forward to the 35 giving the Evos a run for their money :D Oh well i am sure you will at Wakie ;)

Nice work Ciaron! Apart from that fat basterd in the pic :P

Nicks car is looking tough!

I can't believe you'd talk about Eric like that... :whistling:

Awesome shots Ciaron; love the attitude in this one!

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
