and Nick the Nugget jack who has been at the track with me for over 4yrs

 

1st round of the QR open sprints

A bit of a overcast day with the track temp at 50 deg was going to make it hard to beat my last
lap times from last year .With the motec Data from Warrens few laps It showed that a bit more
Throttle on my part would help my lap times.On the last session of the day I did another pb with a 56.1
and having the fastest car of the day.
Big thanks to Nick and Dave for the help during the day

James give warren some tips on driving a rotor






I think Warren needs to drive the car at wtac 2014 .With some very fast lap times
and a few more suspention up grades he belives the car could easly do a 1.14 time
on the National track at Queensland raceway .

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
