Hi Guys. I shoot for SpeedNation and was wanting to come down to the event to cover it. Was wondering off someone can send me a message for what I have to do for media accreditation. I am CAMS accredited etc etc

Cheers

A couple from the recent Time Attack at Phillip Island.

A very full field again. But after lunch it thinned out.

I wasn't supposed to be in the skyline, so we threw the old a050 on and bamb 1.40.5 with traffic.

Car has a 37 in it.

I had a late night with some mates and went out to my car to drive home at about 3:30am Sunday morning, and the ice buildup was about half a cm thick, I can't imagine what it was like down at PI.

How chilly was it down there? I'm guessing the Siberian air came and cut through everyone?

I managed to reel off a 1:53.8 in my Little Red Rocket. It's my first time out at Phillip Island.

LOVE LOVE LOVE The first and last turns. G-Forces for days. May need a better seat!

Looks like I've busted the clutch bracket and I left after three sessions, but this is an easy fix.

Can live with that one!

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
