Hey ferni - was pipped by a guy in Open Class (O). Means a WRX in full race trim. Slicks etc. I can handle being beaten by that.

The classes are for the WRX's in order of top to bottom.

O = Open (Full race)

SM = Super Modified (Like Tony in the Black STi)

M = Modified (eg - Semi-comps, suspension)

C = Clubman (Sti's)

S = Standard (Stock WRX)

Ant, Good stuff mate...:P

Andrews car sure looked the good coming onto the straight, really jumped out of there:)

Yeh Adz, on one lap i saw you hanging off the bridge with the camera, so next time around i gave it a bit of a squirt, not too much as A) didnt want to lose it, and B) didnt want to knock the lap times aroudn too much.

Was a tops day/night...roll on the next one:) Hopefully Ben can weave some of his majic on the humble RB20, and ill get some straight line poke again...but i fear that there may be something wrong as the car is majorly down on power, yesterday a friend jumped in who owns a std R32 and his car had more poke then mine:( ... what else happened at Winton that im yet to discover?

I suppose a compression test is a good a place to start:(

Andrew: ahh thats ok then .... Whats class 'A' ?

And they also classed all the skylines as GTR's rather than gtsts etc...

looks like most of the guys that beat me (besides you and frank) were in open or SM.... only a couple of M ....

Ant95GTR: thats a fair effort :P well done, now to spend some $$ on your handling setup :(

Roy, only 2 sec quicker than me mate. I managed a 1.17.716....

Yeh, but you couldnt have had near as much as fun as me in the last session where i was reving the ringer out of the old girl up the hill in 2nd and snatching 3rd as the car got light...bouncing it off curbs to get the thing sideways thru the s off and onto the straights...thats what track days are about...giving it a red hot prod:)

Out of interest out of the let hander up the little hill what gear were most ppl in, and an approximation of revs would be good, i was coming out at about 6,000rpm in 2nd which is about 80-85km/h...?

I was in 3rd there Roy - with some serious boost so nfi exactly what speeds but I'd guess somewhere between 5,000-6000rpm. I was in 4th before the fast chicane anyways. All I was doing over the hill was making sure the car was pointing in the right direction because turning became a bit difficult as I topped the crest! LOL

Yeh i think normally it may be a 3rd gear corner, based on the fact that i was on the rev limiter in 2nd up the hill/crest of hill...but in 3rd the thing didnt rev or accelerate...lol good thing i could bump up the rev limit when chasing Ant, otherwise he would have left me for dead up that hill with no boost in 3rd:)

Yeah at 1st I was taking that S in 2nd and finding I was hitting the limmiter at the top of the hill. When I was doing that I had to change to 4th just after the fast chicane. Once I tried doing the S in 3rd - even though at first the car felt just off boost I was making more speed judging by the fact I had to hit 4th before the chicane.

Troy....most of the time I was topping 3rd gear at or near the crest of the hill wacking her into 4th for the downhill run into the chicane :-) Felt great as the combined boost and dip in the hill really pushed you into the seat :-D As for the speed...nfi....too busy trying to keep her straight as I was getting some wicked wheelspin outta the corner onto the hill when boost hit in 3rd.

was a great event fellas. I think the twilight theme could really take off.

My apologies for two reasons, one I had to leave early, and the other that I could not comete as i am waiting on work to be done to bring it up to racing spec. But you can definely put me down for all the events after PI. I dont think its a good track to start racing on, however having said that there is more dirt traps than concrete barriers :P

I guess I will take a wait and see approach.

Also I must apologise to ash. On friday I was giving him crap about not receiving my Lanard and SAU Vic sticker, and guess what pops into my mail box this morning!!!!! NICE WORK GUYS, now i have to get a sticker for ash :(

Sorry I missed both the event and spectating. Also I have had to be a bit quiet, had to reinstall XP and the connection number changed on me, preventing login. Was going quietly insane without my SAU :P

Great to hear of so many having a good time, and commiserations on the the tragedy Roy told me of. Hate to hear it.

I hope everyone who needed them got the bonnet straps and I'll catch up at the next club meeting.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
