not from me! :thumbsup:

After a bit on instruction from Paul K (Aussie Car champion 2006) I started doing ok!

but then it just got too wet so I was doing a few "slides" away from everyone!

I had one stuff up though, the straight just before last turn - I came in too hot, went past the braking point, and went off into the mud! :) was just sooooooooooo wet there!

Unfort a lancer EVO hit a wall and the bloke went to hospital :(

Greg (v s p e c ) had many spins :(

I got John Boston out there in my car with Georgie in the passenger seat, I said to him "make sure she has a grin on her face!"

He was putting on a great show!!!! He said my car needs more power though :( haha and the front end grip wasnt too bad, car seemed predictable, he enjoyed it!

1:20 isn't bad at all for a first time effort in pouring rain. I was hoping you'd get a dry run though, to see how you'd go against my time :)

EVO hit a wall? how on earth did that happen? Was it the main straight wall or did he spear off somewhere up the back?

hahah yeah slightly wet :thumbsup:

Apparantly was understeering last turn...and snapped back and well over corrected then went drivers side into the wall right at the start, The tyre wall, near the joining of the armco barrier along the straight.

Hi All,

Down to a 1.06.2 at Wakefield on the old motor.....hopefully the new motor gives me a bit more grunt out of the corner to crack into the 1.05's

Down to a 1.44.4 at Eastern Creek with an even older motor(built in 1992)....next year 1.43's or bust.

Oh yeh the car....GMS R31....doubt the Stagea would do those times...lol

Much difference now that the place has been resurfaced?

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
