I love the life span of this thread has come completely 180 degrees.

Top Shit for getting out there everywhere you can to get some much loved Motorsport Kms on the Bum dyno.

Can't stop smiling enough watching those launches.

180 degrees.

If it was 360 everyone would be back at the start giving her shit about trying to convert a RX instead of patting her on the back for doing more than most homos on here with twice the car.

I'll most likely wait another year until I tackle the rallysprints, still have a lot to learn/upgrade before I'm ready!!



Anyways the day at barbs was fun only thing was is wasn't timed but my mate used his phone to time my laps and for the long track I was getting consistent 1:13's. The limiting factors were the tyres and brakes....after 3 laps I was getting brake fade so I had to back off early down the hill to make sure I didn't go sliding in the sand and in general the brakes are meh so slotted rotors and decent pads will be next!

Also found out how much I hate understeer.....I normally use dccd when on the track but for one run I decided to turn it off and got through the chicane and just started going up the hill and it decided to pull me into the grass and scare the living daylights out of me when I thought it might roll, I'll post some videos later for judgement on my track skills

pretty much the last few days the car has taken a beating with Racewars,Barbs and tonight the Motorplex. The track tonight was shit and I couldn't even launch without axle tramping and a some other issues and I've realised that the Extreme heavy duty clutch I have just isn't going to cut it anymore so I'll be looking at getting something that can put up with my abuse and not bloody stick to the firewall.

Should have waited around until after the burnouts, conditions got better... I ran a 13 flat!

Pfff. I'll keep this brief: if you don't enter, I'm putting an entry in for you.
Mid year rallysprint will be on a sunday at daytime and you'll be there.

You're kind of reminding me of my stint a couple years ago when I was entering every event I could find and felt it was time to justify upping the pads and tyres. So here's what I did (as I had a similar car & situation):

• Brakes – grabbed some Project Mu Club Racer fronts which aren't ideal for street but are great for long stints on the track. Because of this I swapped them in/out at each event in combination with chucking on my R-comps (A050) – so the wheels were coming off anyway. A bit of practice led to sub-5 minute swaps per side.
If you CBF with throwing pads in/out each event (as your car's virtually your daily too, right?) then HC+ or other brand equivalent would be ideal as they are suitable for street use too.

• Semi-race / Race tyres: essentially the AD08 or A050 (or other brand equivalent).
If you're happy to do a swap every event, why not the A050. Otherwise, AD08s for the good balance in between.

AD08 + HC+ for "it's always good to go on street or track" upgrade.
A050 + Club Racer for a very solid track combo.

You've been in my car for Rallysprint with that bottom combo, so you know what it's like..

My 2c.
ps: oh and nice launches.

pps: at No Limits, try Franz as instructor over Brett as Franz has a lot of AWD experience on that track and the lines are a little different for AWD cars.
