Ah, I noticed when I looked into your engine bay in the break, I was like wtf, it's stock & he's caning the shit out of it! Nice strut brace though. :) Were you one of the cars that spun out 3 times in the one corner at the end of the straight??? A grey s13 did it, and there was one more but I can't remember which car it was. The third time was a 360 degree spin over the grass at the esses hahaha

Haha yeah I tried the bling approach without without much success. Just removing the mass rust from the factory brace. I lost it completely once on the first corner during the wet on my first qualifying lap much to the delight of the crowd ( hearing the cheers from them :) ) so I kept on the throttle and kept it sideways out of the grass. My main problem on that corner was that I would come out of the corner and ran out of lock and then dove towards the inside of the corner :( Sat most of the time on the limiter just punishing the tits off of my car but unfortunately my exhaust is so quiet that no one would even know.

Saw steves bumper after one of the qualifying passes ... ouch! (u better be at the next mc round!)

I hope I can get a replacement before the next round, otherwise I cant really drive my car.

I even got pulled over on the way home, fortuneately the cop was ok with it, didnt fine me or sticker the car - he did have a big smile on his face when he saw it though, his comment was 'your obviously not having a great night', he was trying pretty hard not to laugh.

Funny thing is though, probably wont cost me alot more than if the comp was in the dry, last practice I fried $450 worth of tyres :P

haha i had a black silvia get pulled over in front of me on the way home, the cops did a u-turn and chased him

Just a question, Steve when is the next round????? And second, will it be another open comp like this????? Want to get my car out there is all. :D

If you are talking about MC, its on this sunday

If you mean drift, I heard WASCC is planning on doing monthly friday night pratice sessions and was told probably middle of each month - tbc

I was also told they were thinking of doing the next comp during the day on a weekend, probably early next year.

Things are finally looking up for drift in WA, Paul, how come you didnt come and say hello :D you've changed :D

Yes my car was the black/blue 32, but no I don't have a stock zorst... :D:D:( It is just really quiet, 3 inch all the way thru, but it has a big ass muffler on it, which will be going soon (I hope)

Yes I went around a few times... and the dirt... had an absolute f**king ball tho!! :D:)

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
