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?

    • 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
