Tony in Evo 6: AM 1:22.32 PM 1:18.57

 

Tim blue dc5r 1:15 (AM) 1:13 (PM)
Adam black dc2 1:17 (AM) 1:13 (PM)
Ben white dc5r 1:09.93 (AM) 1:09:13 (PM)

Ben was timed outside those times at a 1:05 something. On his PM run he also messed up the pit entry turn by shifting into 2nd so should have been faster.

 

Damn that white Integra was fast!

 

^^ Sounded the part, too!

 

OK folks - here's the final tally although some people are still missing (first post changed too)...

I declare the winners (of the TIMED laps anyway) - Ben got the fastest lap in that hot white Integra, Danielle (Mrs ILIV48) got the best time improvement between the two timed laps - and Adam (black Integra) showed the greatest percentage improvement. Taka was the fastest RX-8.

All of us were winners on the enjoyment stakes! Can't wait for the next one.

 

A mugen integra

 

Will, for the record morning 1.29.29, avro 1.19.52. How's that for improvement!!!!!




But honestly in the morning I had to slow down as a red demon appeared on my tail.

How do I add some writing under my use name?

 

LOL we all have fishermen's tales about our lap times Vic... great improvement though - u were definitely the fastest A/T RX-8

For the user name title, input a new "Custom User Title" in the Edit Profile section of the User / CP menu at the top of the page.

 

Ok, finally found my bit of paper.

On my first timed lap is managed a 1:17.14

After a run with an instructor my driving became a lot smoother, but also a lot slower??

Afternoon run 1:18.50.

I had a good run with mirx*8 (Tim) as I think we were the only two stock cars there.

I did learn the hard way to keep over a half a tank of fuel onboard and also developed a gear selection issue when hot??

The guys with winning blue RX8s must be happy as that is about the new color of my front rotors!!

Thanks again to all involved.

What did they tell you to make you go slower Matt?

 

Just get a bit of Liquid Paper and write it on the screen

 

Does that mean you suffer from a fuel starvation problem too?

I think if you do, like me, I think a firmer sway bar should solve the choking problem. Most of the guys that ran hard did have firmer sway bar settings than what the OEM setup is.

BTW, I do believe that your OEM pads are glazed over. I reckon it's time to upgrade your brake pads.

Ohhh, change your transmission fluid too. It makes a lot of difference.

My morning session time was 1:16.22. No timed session in the afternoon. Had to go home early.

 

Thanks Will

 

We saw the turnoff to Broadford. Much closer than Winton.

 

They were trying to make my driving a lot smoother. Not having any lap timing device made it difficult to see the results of different techniques on overall speed.

Not being able to change down to third probably didn't help much either.

Yep, after braking hard and turning in she just didn't go, she made some nasty spluttering noises and then accelerated off. I don't think I was the only person with this problem.
