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...

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
