Spotted Soarer sitting sedately:what happened after we left?

And did A. get home safely,and without overheasting issues?

there was a small team of guys playing at the pool table behind us Jayce im sure you'd remember, well the bald guy that was there that was plastered (far more so after you left) he was the one theat owned the soarer. we all left at the same time (seing as they had closed lol) then he was revving the crap out of it next to me in the car park as i (and ed) got in my car. so i pulled out and he immediatly jumped out behind me and caught up to me even b4 we got out of the car park. so as i was taking ed home and i didnt want any risk to myself my car or god forbid OUR mechanic, so i pulled over straight away and waved him past, them waited a few secs before leaving after him and letting some distance get beetween us. he gunned it back toward qbn but we saw him pulled over on the side of the road with his indicator out, ignored him and just kept going and he didnt chase.

car was great on the way home, didnt even reach the middle of the temp gauge (havnt ever seen it do that since ive had the car) i bought a radiator cap from a servo immediatly after dropping ed off, and all should be sweet!!! so thanksyou to richard for racing out after i got there to make sure i was ok, thankyou to Jayce for telling me what i needed to get and helping with the coolant and topping ait all up etc. thanks to ed for offering his thoughts and advice on the situation, and thankyou to everyone for being genuinly concerned for me, its hugely appreciated!!!!!

anyway im going to put on my new rad cap, polish the car for the formal and enjoy my day, have a great one everyone and thanks to all once again!

end essay

another great night, good to see a few more people show up this time

After Andrew and i passed him on the road back to queanbeyan, i saw his door open suddenly maybe he had one too many (obviously) and was finishing it off with a nice :spew: :spew: :spew:

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
