Kelly is going to kill you when she sees that :D

who's kelly. when's the next practice session which requires no license, and how crowded are they. i know i'll get laughed at for driving an N/A on there, but I jus wanna have a feel for it.

Snowman - going to do the HSV sprints at Sandown (8 August) or the WRX Club sprints at Sandown (15 August)?

Mate - am running the Dutton from August 6-8 so will be giving those events a miss. But as posted earlier am going to look at Phillip Island later in August. The next NDSOC/MSCA event is the hill climb at Rob Roy which doesnt overly excite and the following is Phillip Island in Sept so going and having a practice weekend with PIARC sounds good to me.

Funky - Calder every Wed and Winton every Friday are open and don't need a CAMS. Just a helmet and ankle to wrist clothing.

And put it this way - if it wasnt for our 5 cars at Winton there would have been 3 others on the track. A quick HSV (hate to admit it but it was damn fast) some yellow thing and a super quick Ford Focus racing car.

ahem roy - i believe i listened to your dribble for over an hour on saturady nite

That you did, pass the girl a bourbon and coke, woops i drank them all :D

Id rather not too many photos of me in the car get posted thanks, sorry dont want to be a spoil sport , but....

...and there will be no racing of Wangs while im in the room thanks :P

impressive chris, 1.41 well done :D

Funky still worth getting your car out there mate, good to see what it can do, and handling would be more important than power on a track like winton.

the HSV wasn't THAT fast... aggressive driver, good rubber and it must of had handling work done on it, give me some sticky rubber, my handling kit and about another year or so to learn how to drive and i'll whoop it :P

as for the ford focus..... :Oops:

I'm Kel. I don't have any balls but still like a bit on the track :D

You can check me out on the NSW Dutton Rally Speedweek coverage or in the next edition of Fast Fours :wassup:

i've hooked up my xbox to the logitech steering system... couple of hours of practice on it and i should be able to pick the best lines. then maybe a cameo appearance on the track to see what my can do... more for fun and curiosity than anything.

guys if u want more of a laugh, there is somethin my gf and her friends made up at skool when she lived there

it was called "DOING IT WANG STYLE" (wangaratta style)

there were quite a few girls at her skool doing it (luckily she wasnt)

if anyone wants to know this sexual explicit stuff, pm me so i dont get into trouble for posting it up

I'm Kel. I don't have any balls but still like a bit on the track :thumbsup:

Are you the star in the Beemer with the panel damage? :) good one, you were so cool about it.

Guys and girls. if you are interested in a track day then just make sure everything is working good, especially brakes and come along. You don't need to have a setup that will challenge Jim Richards' Porka at targa. The first few times will just be learning anyway. Take it from someone who has spent a lot of time on the track in open wheelers and sports sedans. The faster you are going the less time there is to concentrate on actually learning to drive. As the pic says, It takes 2 balls (or the mental equivalent, Kel) and be prepared to have some fun. No-one, I repeat, no-one will take the piss if you are prepared to come and try so Just Do It.

Kami, what exactly is Wang stlye :)? Pm me. I spent some time in Wang myself years ago working. Definitely didn't touch any schoolies though.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
