Hmm both Alex and I went off track excursion while instructing. Instructor fail.

Charles, I mad sure to get a couple of photos. Will find them when I get home tonight.

Thanks Eric I look forward to some pictures.

ThAt sports saloon was quick!

It was running in the top half with a 1:22.3 when it was wet at the start of the day but when a dry line started to develop other cars could put their power down and we started moving down the leader board. There is no surprise that we were prying for the rain to continue.

Yeah there were a few surprises, I was sitting in 10th on the 2nd timed run at 1:20.xx and I went in to check my new time for timed run 3, which turned out to be a 1:19.xx and I dropped all the way to 17th ROFL

i was like oh shit got some catching up to do HAHA

stand by for car behind you dash cam footage...

@GTofuS-T

Blender wont add the audio if I speed it up (it probably would if i wasn't too lazy to even try ;) ).

If i don't speed it up, it renders at about .55% original speed.

so the audio of me and Eric having a giggle has been 'censored'.

Haha that's awesome thanks man!! I swear it felt like I did 720 degrees worth of spinning though.

Edit: also the photo Ciaron got just before this shows my left rear wheel was off the road... no wonder!

Ahhhh that's when I was in the swift with my cousin and we were letting you past lol

Ahhhh that's when I was in the swift with my cousin and we were letting you past lol

Lol mental note, next year you two are banned from instructing lol

you shut your mouth!!!

I'm 100% convinced that Eric gave me enough info to not end up in the wall by creating a 'tactical' pre-emptive spin, thus becoming an epic pussy every time I went around that corner for the rest of the day saving my life and my car. :)

Here is a dropbox folder with all my photos from the day. I will leave it up for a couple of weeks.

If you find something you like feel free to post it up here or elsewhere.

    • 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.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
