Ok.

The next Round of the WRX Club and also SAU Vic Club Championship is at Winton Raceway on Saturday April 16.

Entry forms available here:

Sup Req's

Cost to Enter: $110.

Driver Training Only: $100 (non timed).

Winton is the best "learning" track on the Vic circuit as there is basically very little to hit and damage a car with, the overall speeds are quite low (most won't get over 200km/hr) and there are minimal gear changes per lap (I usually do 4 a lap!). This leaves you to heaps of time to concentrate on lines and braking points.

It's the perfect track to try and find your limit. You find spins and off track excursions are common here!

It's also the home Track of Team Wang Racing! :(

Some people may be interested to make a long weekend of it as Fridays are open for free practise. $100 for Fridays and you get 20mins of track time every hour. CAMS licences are NOT required for the Friday practise nor things like fire extinguishers etc, so if some people are going to do it and you have been thinking about joining track days but haven't been sure if it's for you then these open Fridays are a perfect chance to give it a shot.

:cheers:

Also - I will quickly point out - I know there are the carrot's of Maserati Club @ Sandown and PIARC @ PI the week before and if you are thinking of missing this round and doing one of those due to costs - this will be the last "SAU Vic Club Championship Round" until mid June.

We are not doing the Hill Climb at Morwell in May as part of the Club Championship.

Because the track surface is not up to grade IMO. People can still run there if they wish but SAUVic's stance is that we won't be encouraging people to do so for safety reasons.

Surely you saw the result of Chris's car. Yes it was a drift day and he was a spanner - but in a hill climb you are actually trying to push faster and it's just too dodgy.

Just cause you won go-karting doesn't make you a hero.......

:jk:

I was going to look at attending this round as a flaggy so as I said if people wanted to go to it then thats fine.

BUT - thats the Hill Climb. This threads about WINTON. Lets worry about Morwell when the time comes.

Ok - this is just over 2 weeks away now so we are going to book some accommodation in Wang for those that want it by the end of the week. Due to getting burnt at PI with accom we need people who are coming to confirm this week or else you can look after yourself.

There is the option of comming up just for Friday night or else staying on for Sat night as well. If you want accom please state your intensions on this matter. Remember it is a 3hr drive from Melb but only a 20min drive from Wang to Winton. From memory the rooms are about $150 per night and sleep 6 so thats less than $30 per night. It needs to confirmed however.

So far I know confirmed for accom are:

Snowman (Fri + Sat)

Bec (Fri + Sat)

Scotman (+1 ?) (Fri + Sat)

Chrisman (Fri + Sat)

Blaise + 1 (Fri)

:rofl:

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
