WT?

Nothing drastic I hope Van?

Ed your about 5 sec off the mark
you need to get less weight in the car you removed a 2t and added the diff
that just transfered weight from the front to the back
having said that you do have strength in the back end now
extreme hi temp brake fluid and a bigger reservoir may help to reduce the overheating there
you need a tripple core radiator and/or relocate the intercooler to stop the restriction of air throught the radiator also run a hitemp engine oil and slightly overfill (again more oil better heat spread) also a bigger oil cooler may assist

these are my views feel free to add yours people

Hi Van,

I thought .06 of a sec of Matty's GTR was a fair effort. I have a mate with a 4a turbo with similar power who has blown 3 diffs in the past week under normal driving conditions. I've built this car to last, look good, race and also be able to be engineered and driven on the road.

If you have any practical driving advice I'd be happy to take it on board. Perhaps you should drive my car and see how many seconds can be shaved off my times. Without changing the setup. To be honest - I'm just having a bit of fun with this whole racing gig. In saying that, the car feels pretty fucking fast when it's keeping up with the big boys.

To be honest Ed, I think Van is saying you're about 5 secs off what your car is able to do with your setup.

I also agree that you might want to consider some high temp brake fluid, and a better radiator or setup a fan shroud. Both things I need to do to mine also.

Why the drastic change buddy!? Does that mean im going to need to find a new media manager for shabadoo racing!?

[Slim]

Interesting development. Somewhat unexpected also.

[trangle]

Here's a list of people who have paid me for the lunch.

Andrew
Eddie
Timbo
Joey
Gene
Rossco
Lauren
Adam
Slim

If I have missed out anyone's name who hasn't paid, please let me know. As for Ian, Twentyeight (+2), Ray, Oscar, Jeremy and Graham, I'm not sure what you guys want to do for your lunches.

I know Ray and Oscar don't use Toymods often or at all so if anyone could contact them for me, or even give me their details, that would be fantastic.

I won't be accepting money on any days of the big weekend as I will be buying the food before the day and this will screw things up for me due to not knowing quantities.

Thanks guys

Trangle I emailed all the Team Rising Sun drivers today and mentioned if they want food they need to sort you out asap.. that includes Ray.

Also just in case the Team Rising Sun people didn't get it for some reason, today I emailed you all the Supp Regs... and we each owe Ian $15 for dorian timer.

I worry that the Southern Cross guys are not getting as much information as the rest of us as one of them called me askign about regs last night.. who is their Team Manager Ian?

[Alison]

Just a reminder about the BBQ. It's almost the end of September so if you wanna be part of some awesome food, let me know.

Commonwealth Bank
Trang T Nguyen
