S A U N S W Trackschool Trackday 20th April Round 1 Club Championship


Recommended Posts

Yup, A1RM is a good street pad and ok for light track work. Unfortunately, Wakefield has three big braking spots that makes it a bit hard on brakes for heavy cars. But then again, tyres also will control the amount of braking you get so may balance out if on street tyres.

A1RMs are fine in a car with less than 200rwkw, you're just not pulling down as much speed. I never had issues with brake fade with them but the caveat to that is that I flush my brake fluid regularly.

So the last 2 days the cam seals and turbo water feed have been replaced due to leaks. Then my timing belt tensioner decided to let go and the belt jumped a toothed, luckly it didnt bend a valve.

New tensioner will arrive tomorrow, hopefully early.

Breaks and tires are still good, just need to mount the fire extinguisher again and fill up the jerry cans.

CV joint fixed , new project Mu pads in the front, used a1rm's in the back and fresh fluids all round. Front near side strut making clunking sound, let's see if I can break it completely. also running Pirelli Cinturato P1, so I have I built in excuse for poor times.

Cool Ryan, haven't seen you in Yonks!

Reunion Texi Trackday?

Where are Cassbo, Liz, Doof, etc

(Edit - Eric, learn to read thread titles when SAU'n at work!)

Indeed mate, looking forward to tomorrow, last year was very long year with 0 motorsport, . Also looking forward to talking shit with people.

Anyone staying in Goulburn on the Wednesday night?

Anybody ?

Excellent day guys. Always fun to talk shit in between sessions!

Pretty happy with beating my PB by 2.5 seconds with no changes to the car (and the same shitty tyres I've done my 4 previous track days on), the list of want-to mods just keep going.

Well done guys - real shame i had to pull out on Monday - my Son got admitted into the hospital for RSV on Sunday night being less than 6 months old - was a bit worrying - i figured its more important to be closer to home... im glad everyone had fun!

Till the next one!

You priorities are in the right place Des. Hope he's all better real soon.

Much better. Still has that congestion sound. But much better. [emoji4]

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
