About 160kw at the front wheels.

I should dig that back out and redo it into YouTube as it may get a better download.

OK, looking good for Tuesday, as long as nothing last minute comes up with any of my customers

Anyone coming down for the day?

I think I'm cursed. Too much work still to do today so I won't be going tomorrow.

Hopefully next week

Just hope the rain keeps away for you.
But have a ball and fingers crossed you have a problem free day.

Weather forecast suggests frost then sunny. Should be a good day (albeit very very cold lol!)

yes you will get a small increase in power, but the track is very cold so no grip.

Plus it's not good for humans either

Gotta go, no time to talk

how did it go?

Mixed day, overall disappointing...

This is not sounding good Shane, fill us in.

Shane001 · Post by **Shane001** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 10:52 am

To be honest I'm a bit over the whole process at the moment. Way too much work for way too much frustration...

Shane001 · Post by **Shane001** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 11:26 pm

So the positives;
the suspension changes held up, even after a 100+kmh spin off sideways into the dirt at turn 3... was shitting myself it was gonna dig in and roll...

negatives;
struggled with grip, especially in the rear. the 22mm sway bar in the rear may be too much.
tuning was going well, the problem I had at Bathurst didn't appear to be present, until mid afternoon...
No PB, was around 5secs off the times I was doing last time I was at WP!

So I still don't know what's wrong with the car since Bathurst. So that rules us out for the V8 Supercar round at EC this month.

Unlikely I'll be racing again this year. Will focus on trying to figure out what's wrong with the engine/electronics/fuel/???; get the tune right; get the suspension setup right; and some brake modifications including modifying the brake lines to fit an adjustable bias valve for the rear brakes. Try and get the car perfect for next year.

Next time I go to WP I'll be picking a double track day and stay overnight. Too much work for just one day.

Sorry to hear things didn't go too smoothly

I guess that's the nature of the game though

Yes, WP is too far and you really hope to have a good time to make sure all the effort is worth it. Otherwise, you be just heading home, grumbling...
