Is anyone else going to this?

I find the quickest way to download files is with a USB memory card reader. I've heard somewhere else that the Hero 3 silver has some issues with downloading from certain size/speed micro-sd memory modules. As far as editing software goes, check out the GoPro website, they have some free software that looks pretty good.

Anyone else running in this?

Gordon won his class, Graham 2nd in class, I won my class and FTD.

Had some more mods done, this time the work was on the air intake ducting to the intercooler and radiator. Andrew at Trackart did the work, he made a sealed duct that holds the intercooler and has a flap which allows the bonnet to open, this was to optimise the air flow. See link for a series of pictures as the work progressed. This should also improve the effectivness of the front aero bits.

Richard, My wing was made by Alfa Fibreglass it's a copy of a V8 Supercar VP Commodore wing, they make it to your spec, ie. where you want the mounts and width. I had mine made to the full width which is 160cm, the wing cord is 27cm. They can also supply the end plates if you wish. The price was about $500. If you want I can help you contact the person that made my supports, I'm sure he would still have the drawings I did for him. I would steer away from the Ebay specials as most only create drag with very little down force, also you can be sure the V8 Supercar wing makes real down force and I can vouch for that.

Hey Richard, I should take you on as my publicist, I've never had so many views so quickly. cheers, Sinisha

Hi Richard, The car will understeer a little if I get the entry wrong on slow corners like Honda and MG, if I get the initial turn in right then it is neutral. High speed corners it develops a slight aero induced understeer, this allows me to use a lot of throttle coming off corners without the oversteer, I like it this way because it gives me confidence to push my limits. Yes I still run the rear ARB, this is how I adjust the overall balance. Both the ARBs are adjustable.

OK gents, here is the video as requested.

Yep, video with data, as soon as I get my a into g.

Thanks Dimitri, it was a good day at PI, grip levels felt really good. Got a bit hot by the end and the drive home was a killer!

Raced at PI yesterday with the WRX club. Set FTD and a personal best 1:42.36 I is very happy!

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere. Some footage of Paul from the Skyline Nationals at Mallala, Paul's car from about 1:30. (nice spin by the way ) cheers, Sinisha

I think it might be pretty close, I change gears about 8k yours sounds like its got a few more revs to play with.

Box is a standard RB25DET with a short shift, and diff is 3.7.

Ooops, sorry Lurch. Fixed!

Hey Ledge, still can't get over that sequential box! By the way what was your exit speed?

I've uploaded my best lap with data see below. cheers, Sinisha

Bit of an update on this event, Gordo and I both won our classes. 1:43.2 for me (PB) over 3 litre road reg and 1:49.2 under 3 litre road reg for Gordon. A good day for the old Zeds.

I too have recieved my acceptance, very much looking forward to this! Still interested in hiring a garage, who would like to share?

I wonder what my first born would fetch on the open market???

Me too, sending entry tommorrow. Forgot to ask, anyone interested in sharing a garage?

Hi Nathan, The job is done, along with a few other bits. No I didn't get the gear box mount done, I don't have vibration issues with my car, although I did have floor flexing above the diff issues under full power in the first 3 gears. To fix this Andrew tied the floor to the roll cage above the diff. I also had a proper race seat mounting setup made. he tied the castor rod brackets to the outer chassis rails as well. You can see all the bits at the following link. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trackart-Custom-Fabrications-Pty-Ltd/366646096695933?sk=wall cheers, Sinisha
