What a GREAT weekend, one of the best on record! The only down side was the unfortunate damage to Troy's car. The Victorian circuit Gods are cutting him no slack :(, or maybe his car is just home sick and refusing to co-operate. Was really disappointed to hear of you mishap, hope all will work out nest time.

On the other hand, my car (and myself) performed beyond my own expectations, for a offical track newbie. Personally i think these fun days are possibly more dangerous than the offical CAMS events. Don't get me wrong, i really had the time of my life, but you get some dlcks in the beaten up pieces of shlt, trying to prove a feeble point and going beyong the capabilites of their cars. Or you get some a55holes who have specially set track cars, treating it as the Bathurst, and cuting you off, pushing your car to the outside, etc. At times i just had too much to loose so i just slowed down and let them pass.

Most the time everything was cool, my tyres kept a great grib to the track, but i still managed to do more than a few 4 wheel power slides :). The suspension preformed remarkably, but will be speaking to Centreline to see if i could dial out some of the understeer, not sure if i can because at times i was getting oversteer.

Meet a few more new faces today, sorry if i didn't socialise much :(, just too hectic trying to fit all things in. Hope to catch up again soon.

BIG thank-you to Bec and Chris for organising the cruise up and some "modern" accommodation. Thanks to all Wang members :D, who made the night b4 an unforgetable one and to Adz for cooking up a mean barbie :)

PS: Photos from both days would be great, so don't be shy and post 'em up :D.

And dont mean to be a tight a55, but in light of what happened today, i may have to hit you guys up for some coin for the booz i bought, all up it was $110-120...it looks to have been an expensive weekend:) i hoped that the booz covered my share of the BBQ?

The old Motor Inn went off on Saturday, ill post up some pics later...im amazed those old ladies didnt abuse me when i kept walking into their room instead of ours:alcoholic:

:flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed:

Geeez if you ever want to give me your car Adz.. niiiiiiiice.

Troy I think you & your car are just getting too old for the track :) Seems like it's not meant to be :) (joking)

So whats the tally on the damage? Need -another- engine??! :D

We were thinking of cruising up this morning... but since we didn't get home til 12 last night, there was no way we were going to be on the Hume at 7odd :D

Troy wheres the 'action' shots?

edit: Nevermind, there they are!

Troy: Michael says "now a dodgy seal on your caliper is the least of your worries" :)

Lucky that Michaels car is sorted now, so he has his weekends free..

He also said something about 'a whole new meaning to the phrase - drive it like you stole it'.. :)

Anyway glad the car didn't blow up/interior catch fire etc & you're alright.

oh no Troy what happened?!!?

story please...

Bloody terrorists:) I think i ran over a land mine:(

The bonnet lining either dropped down and touched the turbo, or it got so hot that it caught fire. So another freakish fark up has kicked me in the boss cags:)

But if you want to know what really happened...well at a certain speed there is so much friction / heat from the air that things can get red hot, sometimes even ignite...ever seen a space shuttle on re-entry, well same thing with my R32 down the straights:)

Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Suck piss and torch cars:thumbsup:

And the most important thing about a Team Wang weekend...

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
