I was at barbs on Sunday and saw you around the track mate, car looked great and some very solid racing. 7th overall is a massive effort!

Go Team Maloney!
Will have to get up to your next race, was in Kalbarri this weekend, so no go.

Fantastic results from all the hard work you guys have put in!

Update time,

Well 6 speed is in and working! Between tailshaft issues and realising the pin for the 6 speed is critical for enabling reverse and 5th, it has been a learning experience. But htat is what this car is about.

Took it for a drive on Sunday and pull farken hard now and no slip, big props to jester for letting me use this in the mean time!

only problem now is that somehow i have cracked the top of the radiator so now am replacing that thanks to Munya (did i mention i love this community)

Just on that, i've always used genuine subaru coolant for the track car but between services etc $80 for 4 litres is getting a bit much! Can i use redline water wetter with distilled water?

So everything was fixed and ready for the outing Winter Masters series at Barabagallo on the 7th of June

Qualifying

Went out and felt good but for some reason car kep overrevving so pulled into the pits to find that the throttle was sticking and was just revving out? Got towed back up as i couldnt drive it and found that the idle screw had lost its nut and screwed itslef out to have the throttle open... loctite and tape later and it was done. Qualified 10th

Race 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=H1PWt4nJKk4

Went from 10th to 8th off the start and held it there until the end A few moments with cold tyres, learnign the car again and so forth.... I will get there...

Race 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUPP...yer_detailpage

Reverse grid, went from 6th to first off the line and then settled down for 7th at the conclusion due to a spin on turn 4 due to driver error and gearbox oil on the track... It settles me though and felt more comfortable with the car and its braking characterisitcs this run...

Race 3

Race 3 started and then finihsed on the line. Broke the left rear drive shaft and that was my day done.

Great work though to all my helpers and support, especially Kelly who lets me do this crazy shit...
