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]

    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
    • Take the fall as a warning sign for future endeavours  Stay safe mate
