QR time attack final round 2012

A nice clear day at QR for the final round of the  timeattack series
click on the link = http://www.timeattack.com.au/
with some more work done on the car in the last week.  Dave from
GT AUTO gave me a hand to swap out the old 4.1 ratio and install a 2 way LSD with 3.9
gears from a Auto FD.
I was able to do a PB on the clubman track 57.7.
I decided to have a play with the rear wing and shock settings for the 3 sessions on the
Spint track I was able to do another PB with a 54.5.

I would like to thank all the people that have given me help over the last 2 yrs of the build
of the car.

Japanese Nationals QLD

Great day at QR with the car running faultless and a chance to play with the shocks and spring rates
with my best time of 58.3 on the club track and not pushing the car too much due to the 30deg heat
We decided to only run 18 pounds of boost and  keep the rpm around 7.500.
More testing this week on the 11th at QR

Dyno time

Dyno Dave working his magic

With half an hour of run in time, dave starts with 20 pounds of boost and some more timing
and the turbo coming in to its sweet spot we start seeing 580 rwhp

Just doing a quick comp test

 

 

 

Ready to hit the dyno and some testing before the Japanese Nationals 22 september

After super lap 2011 we pulled the engine down for inspection and sent the gearbox away for servicing after the huge drive shaft problems at superlap costing us valuable lap times.

With work commitments over the last year Nick from Rotorhood Industries on the Gold coast

offered to assemble the engine and help get the car ready for the QLD Nationals.The engine

has run for 20mins so time for a comp test
