Beige.... The new Black!!!

Cait and I are keen to bring the GC8, will see if I can finally break into the 13's!
Cressida has a slipping clutch from bulk skids, might have the MA61 ready
Hmmmsss...if I have the rear diff mount completed I'll come along and see what the GT4 can do

My ST185 with 278awkw (2.2L is running...)
1:08.08s @ Wakefield 1:37.29s @ Winton
27.90s @ Esses Hillclimb
hells yeah! what do you reckon it will do? 11s?
I think 11s is probably optimistic, thinking mid to low 12s and I would be happy

fuck it, go for gold!
I'll give it a red hot go, but just think given the weight of the GT4 an 11 is optimistic.
Might try to setup the anti-lag for it if i go.

noice!
Was a great night with high and low points for us
Managed a 13.1 with the GC8 first run setting myself a new PB
Cait managed to get her PB down to 14.8 on the first run as well. With a bit more experience and a shift light, it won't be too long before she's into the 13's as well.
3rd run was were all the fun stopped, the lights went green, I dropped the clutch and the front end made a noise in protest leaving me to coast down the strip for a record setting 24 second pass. Broken front left drive shaft was diagnosed pretty quickly and $120 got her towed home
Cheers to the Hills Crew WRX and Toymods blokes for all coming down make sure we were all okay and could get a tow home.
Again, big thanks to the Toymod's crew for organising the private booking of a lane, just a shame that not many people turned up to take the opportunity to use the lane. I believe it was just Rob, Vito, Chris and myself that were there, and for the first two runs, it was just Rob and I Simmo tried to join us, but his Camry failed scrutineering haha
Bad luck Aaron!
I was able to do 6 passes so I had heaps of fun.
However, my troublesome turbo-to-intercooler pipe kept blowing off (it happened in 4 out of 6 passes), and this ruined my second pass in particular which otherwise would've been a low 11 and my best of the night.
I still managed to achieve an 11 second pass on my 6th and final attempt. It wasn't even a good pass (crappy 2.333 60ft with a stupid amount of wheelspin), but at least I achieved my goal of making it into the 11s. I was lucky I got the chance to do that, because I think I was the final car of the night that they let through.
I'm confident that I'll be able to achieve a 10 second pass in the future!
