I am thinking the next session which will be good for newbies (or us founding members) for Team Wang Racing could be the PIARC weekend on August 21-22. Saturday is practice and Sunday is full sprint competition. $100 per day.

CAMS will be required. And tackling Phillip Island in August will require a damn big Wang as well.

"Roll call" ... me puts up hand.

How miserable and wet is Phillip Island in August, it was bad enough in April when i was down there.... i think i will bring road rubber as well as comp Rs in case its wet.

Ill be a parrot and repeat myself, sticky rubber rocks and is great, but not having it is no reason not to come along, imagine if it rains and you have just spent $2000 on comp Rs that are no better then normal road rubber in the wet, but are harder to drive on....

good point ferni :D

i think i will just get some good street tyres and use them for both... if i get good enough i'll get some spare wheels and tyres.

inark: thats what i was thinking, but i can't see how any street rubber can compare to semi-slicks, CHEATER TYRES, i want some :D

adz: good idea, but i've heard you can drive as is, so thats not fair :P

Go Team Wang !!

As we came into Wangaratta there was a sign on the side of the road with "Wang Races" As soon as I saw it and almost drove off the road in tears of laughter I was ready to whip out my wang for some racing!

Adz you would of had a ball... and your tyres seemed to grip the track at Deca pretty good compared to my 18" potenza's. So maybee just use those. Because everyone now knows that i'm broke!

Note: With some of the pricing I got the was no diff between an 18" and a 17" in a new semi comp. If anything it was only $10 per corner.

i want some too... but theres no point buying em if i cant even do a half decent lap on good street rubber :D

Hey Ni, cheater tyres are worth a couple of seconds a lap over street tyres, but practice and experience are worth 10 times as much. seriously. driving on the track is a skill you have to practice like anything else, no-one goes and sets new track records the first time they go out.

    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc). 
    • @Murray_Calavera nah, not available yet, they're gearing up for it but won't be available for a few years. So you reckon fuel is the main issue? When this bottom did over 600rwhp it was running big single, twin Z32 MAFs and believe it or not, e manage blue, an old school piggyback 😅 not really a fair comparison but I guess it shows how a big single differs to smallish twins.   
    • @Darrel Can you get pump e85 where you are? If you want to max out those turbos, e85 + bigger modern injectors will be the easiest way to get you there. 
    • Hi @Butters , thanks for your reply. Pump 97 BTW but yeah, I get that old tech is what it is and can't compare to modern stuff but I still believe 500 is achievable, even with these smallish twins. Their effective limit is around what, 24 psi? Intend to go single one day but then again, I'm not chasing big power and might not be worth the investment. Just wondering what if any factors are limiting my setup after a few changes. Let's call this Dyno 02. This is after R35 MAFs, 720cc injectors, DW300 FP, HKS step 2 264/264 cams.
    • Was away on holidays last week and hadn't heard from powder coater, so I gave them a bell and it was all ready. Went and picked it up yesterday and gave it a clean this afternoon and started bolting it up.  Mate finally got around to ordering my new ECU, hopefully thats here this week and I can start getting that mounted and finish the wiring on it. Tomorrow I'll try and get the exhaust back in and see what else I can tick off the list
