Was at Mallala today, a little rain in the morning but the rest was good/ideal.
Bushed top arms in place of rose jointed arms works ALOT better in getting the power down.
1:22.0500
Full day's results here:
The GTR was quicker, but couldn't keep it on the track. Looked to be built with big brakes and 300kwish. Was gone by time I got out onto the track.
The Elfin was good fun. I think I had a few more horse than him and was much better under brakes. He held a little more corner speed, and more linear (NA) power out of the corners was helping.
I will be staying with 120kw for a while in search of a 1:20 with suspension work.
Need to go softer rear spring, up the swaybar.
W box is calling, need to be a little harsher than I have been in the past.
Really need a set of 4.5's. 2nd out of Esses and Northern just zing's the tyres but 3rd bog's out of Northern and has a bit less pull out of esses.
One thing I learnt from you Andy at the track day and watching the video's is to attack the curbs alot more. Also now holding more speed into turn 2.
Can't wait for you to be out there with Beams power.
Did a 1.22.8 today in RACE 4 , still have a issue with the car breaking down at 8000rpm due to a interface error at high RPM, will get it sorted on the dyno soon and chase a few more HP
A low 1.21 is more than achievable next state round........ Takai and Andy get your arse into gear and come racing with me..... the gutless little 20v is staring to go well
whats that other corolla in there? that times incredible he'd have to be running a 3s or somthing
Thats the nephews Clints Corolla, its runs a 3sgte and his times were a bit off for some reason, it should be around a low 16 high 15 normally
Woot! Just broke into the 1:32's in a 20 valve during practise. Could easily do a 1:29 with more aggressive braking (I keep braking too early and coasting for a second).
Some R888's on the front would help me launch out of the corners better than the toyo T1R's that I have on now. Or I just need to learn to feather the throttle better.
that's a bloody good effort andy..nice work

Rebuilt front end, HTS in the rear (so much better than TRD blue's, you have to try them Frak).

Full day's results here:
Track was a bit shit with drift on the night before with dirt all over the track.
Was mostly dry except the last session where the track was drying out, turning Pacific into quite the handful. 2nd was instant wheelspin, 3rd was only slightly better.
Had some boost cut issues in practice with the cold air at about 1.2bar in the top of forth just before the braking point into the esses.
With 4deg camber on the front it walks a bit through the kink but its best to just hang and let the tail slide a bit. Funny when you look at the speedo comming out of the kink and its just points at kmh.
Negative's: Front rotor's are done. Blown exh manifold gasket (tiny bit) or (less likely) the turbo gasket.
Work for next time: HTS for the front. Put some more power into it, I think cams alone will be over 140rwkw and fix my boost creep issues. Move oil cooler/adjust ducting (oil in sump over 120deg after 3-4 HARD laps but as soon I back off back below 110 pretty quick. Max was 125deg.).
W55 and new clutch.
Proper CAGE.
