Hey guys,

I've entered for the Sunday now as well and looking forward to getting back out at PI and competing in the championship this year.

For those who don't know me yet I've got a VX SS Commodore with an N/A LS1 putting out around 310rwkw and I ran a 1:54.9 last time at PI. :)

Haven't entered yet but I will at some point.

Anyone else going for the first time?

At the briefing they usually ask if there are any first timers. Just let them know and they'll either do a parade lap at low speed or get an experienced driver to passenger with you on the first session.

Yep PIARC days they group you on times and shuffle groups during the day on times

Didn't think they did at the last one, might depend on how many entries and the time spread?

They might factor in the car class for groupings along with specified time. Both are on the My Car page on www.meecamsau.com. Most people would be E-H?

Classes A, B, C & D are for road-registered cars using generally road-going equipment only. All cars using racing
tyres, or slicks, will be classified as specials, as will be excessively modified road cars. The organisers reserve the
right to re-classify cars, following vehicle scrutiny. For full details of modifications allowed in each class see Group 5
Speed Event regulations. The organisers reserve the right to amalgamate classes if in their opinion entries are
insufficient to warrant a separate class.

I'm in Class H with my car when I compete at PIARC events...

Anyone that is entered and/or spectating - Please post up to confirm you are coming.

Also if you are doing a single day OR the two days (there is Prac on Sat some are attending).

I need to know for catering purposes for lunch of Steaks/Skewers and the like over the two days.

Thanks in advance!

I just put down Modern 2WD for the meeca site lol.

f**ked if I know TBH... I just put down the laptimes section though, I think that would hold far more relevance.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
