Update track styles:

Well i ventured to AHG tuning day yesterday after what i thought was a successful campaign at collie a few weeks earlier. Car suspension was still set up from that day and hadnt changed at all apart from putting in the trailing arms.

Well the pic below summarised my day perfectly (thanks to Phil for taking a ton of pics of all my offs had around 4 in total). I was fighting the car for each run of the short track, the rear end was very very loose on exiting (loose full stop) and i was being told that my lines werent straight enough but having a look back at through the vids my car seemed to be pointing in the right direction when i was squeezing on the power. At collie i was pressing the throttle at least 90% and the car was sticking to the road with no sign of the rear end wanting to spin me around.

I think the suspension settings may need to be checked out but i have come to the conclusion that the short track at AHG just cant get the rcomps up to temperature even after 3 laps and hence making the rear end bounce around like it did..

I might have to get some private track time organised and see where i can get the car feeling good.

Ill get some vids up of the out car that i captured, i think next time i do a track day ill have a cam on the front wheels to see what direction they are pointing in to give me more of an idea.. Big thanks to kymbo for organising the day and to Dave for giving me his spot.. Was fun even with the offs..

Thanks mate.. I knew it was coming out this friday according to Jordan Leist who did the feature and took the photos.

So i will check out the newsagencies for a copy or few..

Its a bit of an achievement i think to get a small photo on the cover of a magazine which is primarily holden and ford readership.. There are i think 30 cars in this edition and only 4 are jap cars. One is a race car R35 GTR and another is a drag car both from performance shops..

Jordan told me that the editor thought it was just another WRX until he saw the car and the feature and said that he should have given it some more pages in the spread if he had of seen it earlier. But also said that it had to get a mention on the cover just due to its uniqueness. So im pretty chuffed about that..

Im hoping to have another feature done for zoom probaly next year some time and hopefully we can grab a cover for that as imo thats the mag to be in for technical articles..

Which corner is it Tino? Is it coming out of the first corner when you pull onto the track?

Yes Burke.

It's not the Tyres Tino, the dunlops come on song very quickly. Do you know which compound they are? Who did the alignment and do you have a printout of it? What were the tyre pressures like after you went out again?

If that's the case tino it's probably the way you're taking the corner. IMO it's a pretty easy one to stuff up. It's at the end of a straight so you can come in too hot, it's a big sweeper so it's easy to turn in too early and the exit is a straight which encourages you to get on the gas too quick. Do all 3 and you end up in the dirt..
If your suspension was suspect it would be more obvious bthrough the tight stuff at the top of the track where you are shifting the weight of the car around.

My 2c..
