also, what time?

Hehe making times could be a mistake with this crew. Nah if it's only you me and andrew on friday night then it will be easy. I'd say just whenever we are ready. Try to make it around 7 to 8 at Andrews. Will take you an hour to get to his from the CBD. But I guess we better ask Andrew if it's ok to meet at his first thou.

Hey Al,

Yeah mate shouldn't be a problem at all. Your both welcome. We might get you to chip in a few bucks to keep my mates mum happy. Wont be expensive at all. Just tried to call you back, but went straight to msg bank.

What day / time you thinking of heading down?

Ok - I want a bed! :)

Duncan - you can meet at my house and we'll go from there - I will give you easy to follow instructions later.

Remember we have Geoff and Emre on Sat night too.

Shivram - your boss get in?

Thanks Snowie for looking out for us.

Chris, I'm coming down Sat afternoon sometime so just a single for me. Thanks a bunch mate. Chipping in is no problem. I know kinda where to go but I'm sure I wont miss it.

Yep Aaron is in with his STI and Frank will also be there (he has a worked 33 GTR, twin 2530's etc).

Should be a great weekend. I'm considering buying a video camera atm.

thanks for your help Andrew :)

Shivam.

Shivram - your boss get in?

I've never met Crazy Frank before - I know he knows Emre so this will be good.

Apparently my best time at PI is only 1sec or so behind Crazy Franks best - will be fun trying to match him for sure.

Also - the weather looks awesome for the weekend. I was actually hoping it was going to have a couple of short showers like last time. Was fun playing with Scotsman in the rain! :)

Ok Boys and Girls - just got a call from Chris Kelly to say that the HSV day is now full again. Apparently we have our own group for the track that will also include an M3, an M5 and a couple of Porsches.

He was also like "Damn you guys are fast apparently. Most of the guys are around the mid 2 minute mark with only a few at the low 2 mins." Basically no one under 2 mins. :D

Sounds like a come on. He must think we're stupid if he wants us to turn up acting like world beaters, only to get paddled.

I'd prefer to be amongst some of the other makes to see what they are running like and where they are fast.

and so we can burn a few of them. Light it up out of the corner and still pull past them on the straight.

I guess we will have to wait and see. Dont they do a super sprint at the end? Wont this mix up the field, because I think it's all based on your times throughout the day.

I'll be happy to crack 2:00 on street rubber.

 

The super sprint wil be awesome if it's what I think it is.

Go the road rubber. Its actually more fun on road rubber because your car moves around and it teaches you to be a lot more delicate with the controls.

But as far as lap times go, around place like Phillip Island, i think there is even more then usual to be gained from grippy tyres. A sub 2:00 lap time would be awesome, going on the GTST/GTT from the last day, that would be about a 1:55 on sticky stuff :D

LOL. my car still aint ready so good thing i didnt make plans for this weekend. Sandown is looking the good though.

Enjoy ppl and dont forget we need plenty of photos

Do NSW proud:) , the boys down here are starting to mock Team Trackday based on my lacklustre performances to date :Oops:

haha, just blame the car :rofl:

I dunno how I'll go, but at least I promise to "Drive it like I hired it" :bahaha:

Ok, Anyone who is planning on having a meal at the house. There was no BBQ there, so I'm bringing one down that we can all use. So feel free to bring you BBQ stuff.

Andrew - what time do you want to see me and Duncan tonight?

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
