I agree with most comments here in regards to the 'Andrew Brilliant Aero'. While obviously working, all his designs detract from the look of the car and the spirit of time attack IMO.

That doesn't really answer the question though.

Just because older TA cars had basic aero, why does that mean the category shouldn't continue to push the boundaries in the quest for seconds?

You can only have so much power and put it to the ground, eventually you have to make up time elsewhere. Tyres, suspension, aero, etc.

Or would you rather cars still be running the same times as Tsukuba as they were 5yrs ago?

Open class is for the oe looking body, pro class should be all out.

In saying that, I don't agree with the ability for pro/am to be able to alter the suspension arm design. So many cutting in double a arm or versions of. That's getting too close to sports sedan for me.

Yeh new arms are all good, but when you start chopping the chasiss and altering the points that the arm mounts to...

Because I'm intrigued by the horrid cars, and people who spend a mil on building an evo then skip the country to avoid paying for it.

So you're a masochists who also has a penchant for drama and gossip, got it ;)

im all for pushing the boundaries, But if you think about it everyones just getting the same dude to do all their aero. There needs to be variation to methods in order to improve otherwise it may as well be "Andrew Brilliant pro class" If i wanted to see cars go fast id watch the radicals go around SMSP. Im there to see cars i like going fast

strapping a manta ray rear bar (suzuki s15) makes me cry inside because like current years F1 being ugly doesnt help draw a crowd. You can be pretty and still push the boundaries of speed and laptimes it just costs more.

    • The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.
    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
