Fri 14&29th Oct Drive Day, At The Creek $120


Recommended Posts

yep, it was a nice day. Neil I though i saw your car there, as i rocked up i saw/heard this little rotor powered Sports Sedan cruise along the pit apron (i was on the other side of the garages so only caught a glimpse). maybe your missus was out for a day of fun without you?? can you account for your cars whereabouts on friday?

my friends timed me for a few sessions but i wasn't really happy at all with the tyre grip or the brakes and the missfire was sh1tting me too. but i still was a second or 2 quicker than last time, which was a little bit pleasing considering how 'green' the track was and how much traffic we were driving through. certainly plenty of passing going on and i was very impressed with Aaron on his first day at the creek, good to see some experimentation with using different gears and braking points paying off.

i had a great day!!! thanks richard and paul for all the tips they really paid off! besides running out of brakes and distroying my tyres i was very happy with how my car held up.

very keen for another day but not to sure about a saturday though

damn that sucks normally Eastern Creek is pretty safe from a low speed off, I guess you visited the same place as roy, outside of turn 9 (hairpin coming down the hill?). Hope its easy enough to fix :(

Ouch yogi hope the cars okay. Bloody wet grass wouldn't have helped either.

Beer Baron,,,I wonder if Mel's been holding out on me and has a spare gearbox hiding in the dogs kennel.

N1GTR,,,cams has a turn around of 6 days on licencing so you will have in time.

Neil.

Yogi came off between 4 & 5, it happened right in front of aaron and myself. He drifted out wide on the exit of 4 and attempted to re-gain the line into 5, keeped the power on a little long and over steered off the track into the tyre wall. Baddly worn tyres were the contributing factor I think.

Yogi, let usknow how the repairs go.

Dog box in the dog kennel perhaps? makes sense to me!

oh, on the grass note they have been tidying the track up for the A1 GP and have laid bits of astro turf on the outside of some of the turns which is nice. bit more room there for those 'OMG i'm running wide at the exit' moments. grips better than the concrete bits too i reckon.

Ahh yeah I had a similar event there one day but was lucky enough not to keep it off the wall. 

so you did hit the wall? and that was lucky? i'm confused :)

yogi btw mate if you are looking at somewhere to get your car fixed try sydney central smash. they have done top work on 2 of my cars and many of my friends cars.

Speak to Tony, 9319 6044 feel free to tell him i reccomended you go there. it will make him feel all warm and fuzzy no doubt :P

cool what time is it on til and how much does it cost to watch?

EC don't charge specs on track days buddy,,,not like that crap-hole oran park. You gotta love the ARDC. Make sure you pop into my garage and say hello. It won't be hard to find me,,,I'll be in the noisey rotor powered Capri.

Neil.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
