Weekend was great. Team Wang at it's best. Saturday night will be remembered for a while. A few new inductee's to the club as well - including a star performance from our new WRX Wang member. Fair skills with the skids I must say.

As for the racing part of the weekend, that was pretty good too. For those that lasted the whole day there was plenty of track time and I think everyone enjoyed the track as it is somewhere you can have a bit of fun at rather than being half scared to death.

I think the new guys - Jarrod, Dave and Tom all enjoyed themselves as well. Just disappointed for Archie as he was really giving it a go out there for just his 2nd track day.

But overall a very enjoyable weekend. Thanks to all that made it so.

:cheers:

I did i think 5 hot laps, 7 in total...:cheers: But at least my car didnt have to get towed off, and i was able to drive it back to Melb.

Biggest effort award goes to Achie and Scotsman, the times were shaping up really good. Shame about pads and tyres on Snowflakes car:(

...and Dave, were you taking happy snaps on the day?

Great weekend. I'm sure we'll be issued the key to the city next time we return to Benalia...

Superb accomodation arrange by Bec - our own pub! Top trackwork by everyone - especially Chris when battling with Snowy, and all those pesky WRXs. Dave & Blaise certainly earnt their Wang stripes too :cheers:

What a day, absolutely awesome weather, plenty of track time and some seriously quick times too.

For me, I'll take my 1.41 - like Archie, was my second track day so I'm pretty happy with it :cheers:

Looking forward to round 4 provided work doesn't intervene.

Good to see Team Wang rip it up on and off the track :cheers:

work hard, play hard!

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
