Ok guys,

Who else is attending so I can make sure we have enough steaks?

Entries are open until 5pm tomorrow night and with only 50 entries you are guaranteed to get lots of laps!

This was an excellent day and it was great to meet some of the SAU crew too! Thanks for lunch too, nice cooking Andrew :)

Car ran well bar some loose manifold-to-turbo nuts, driver needs more practice :)

I had a ball, pity about the rest of the facilities falling apart though.

Glad I got in a good number of sessions, somehow went through 60L of fuel and needed to get Jamie to give me a lift to grab some more so I could get home :yucky:

Feels really difficult to work on your times throughout the day as the lap times are so short. Wiping 0.5s off at Calder is like wiping 3 seconds off at PI

Not only that, the temporary chicane kept on changing every session which made it very difficult to get consistent lap times. According to the GPS logger my times varied up to 2 seconds throughout the day just from that section alone.

I had a ball racing around and had no dramas with the car so top day for me! :)

I hope it went well for everyone else too

Thanks again for the day guys, said hi to a few of you but sorry we couldn't head down and have a chat as we were down the other end of the paddock, the sessions came around too quickly!

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      Haha no I'll do that one tomorrow. I've been ignoring it. It's the 5.0 one I'm taking about. (There is a little X to hide the 4.7 one if you want)

      So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
