Not quite Dave… His in favor of me going to tracks more often. I think having to sue Queensland Transport to get my license back pushed his keen-ness to keeping it too the tracks more often eh.

I reckon you could hey.

And well, its a porsche, its ment to be on the track. I'll go just to watch it.

Don't mean to NAG, but we need another 30 people to sign up as drivers or this day will not go ahead !!!

by which date you need to know by? looks like u'll need to get at least other clubs/regular track goers to go in this.

rental car is tempting option for me at the moment :)

The absolute deadline is for everyone to have paid me for the day 15 days out from the date. 7th May.

The problem is that I have not confirmed the booking yet as that means a deposit. And I won't do that until the day looks like going ahead and I have most the payments.

The down side is until I confirm the booking anyone else who wants to run a track day can rip the date out from under us with one phone call to me to confirm on the spot.

My other Track Day is on the Monday 9th May. Maybe we should merge with that date. Else I can open the Sunday date to my other regulars.

SmoothLine has put the effort into this day, I'm just helping out. So I'll wait and see what he thinks our next move should be.

I don't think its going to happen.

A sunday trackday in future I am sure could be organised, and would get quite a few more that can't otherwise make it to the mid-week days. A couple of my mates I mentioned this two were a lot more interested when I said it was a weekend, however for a couple of other reasons weren't willing to do it this time.

I reckon combining the day on Sunday would be a treat, as I am always struggling with work commitments during the week. Paul organises a great day!!

Problem is you have to book almost a year in advance to get a weekend day. This one only came up because of a cancellation. I asked them about how often a cancellation occurs and they said very rarely.

Even the week day bookings are hard to get. That's why I have book the years worth of dates already.

I will look more into the Warwick race track and also it will be great once the north coast track opens (bull dozers have not rolled yet, so don't get too keen)

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
