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]

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
