SiVaK, for a Motoconcepts day go to www.motoconcepts.com.au and look up Drive Days. These are different to practise days run by the ARDC (owner/operator of Eastern Creek) and have less stringent requirements.

I will be there in the slot car for track tuning and testing with one of my techs, prior to our day on next Sunday 12th at Oran. Anyone who wants some free track set up advice from me or Adam who will be there just come up and see us. We will have infra red temp gauge, intercomp bubble camber and castor gauge, tyre pressure gauge, wheel torque wrench and other tools etc. Also for a fee we could tune if you have Microtech, Motec, Autronic or Power FC but would need to pre arrange this. Eastern Creek is the perfect track for real time tuning under full load conditons in the higher gears which you can't do on the street. Conditions are slightly different load to dyno. He is mainly there to help me set up the zed so don't ask him to change pads or anything but happy to help out where we can.

John, will be very interested to hear if after 4 or 5 laps the mixtures need adjusting as a result of cylinder temps etc increasing after sustained high rpm load running...its a concern of mine now that im looking to lean on my engine a little.

Since i have a spare head i was lookign to see if i should grab the valves and have them ceramic coated?!?!?!? Then i htink its an RB20, and i forget about it :)

A certain person we both know laughs at me, i want my car to be quick with only 2L, ill consider cams but after that i just want to get back to enjoying it...12 months without regular track time,

if the current engine dies, i suppose ill have no choice, but perhaps dyno tuning the car richer again for the possible extra leanness when circulating around the track may help it live

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
