good day guys!
very tiring..
i ran the amg once, a 16.1 LOL
and then i let me little bro run it and he ran a 18.. haha, first time ever racing.. just got his p's...
then on the 3rd run, the altnernator belt lost 1 rib, so i decided i wanted to drive home so no more racing :lol:
as for bindolla, he lost 2 sub frame bolts under the gearbox, tried to put them back in with the bushes but i believe the thread on the bolts / in the holes are stripped (holes i believe anyway)... so either retap with bigger bolts or put in new thread..
6III, get rid of the high pressure radiator cap man, the cap will allow you to run cooler but also increase water pressures therefor resulting in cracked radiators etc... keep the stock keep, lower pressure which means the water will flow out of the overflow tank instead of building higher pressures..
olly, his car died at the end of the track on the dirt road back... we went up to check it out and basically he had lost all of his water (out of overflow tank) and also lost some oil out of the oil cap (no rubber seal on the cap)..
his oil was STEAMING!!!.. white smoke out of the exhaust.. idled like it had dropped a cylinder (not too bad though)... the dipstick oil had begun to get milky up the top of the level... so just to be safe, i suggested to get it towed back since it was a built motor..
but guys!! race after race... u guys really gave the cars a beating!!
but good to see, alot of virgin racers did well!
all cars pretty much ran 13's / 12's... all alot virtually stock with the basics!!
i think the quickest jap car was either that SUZUKI GTI (justin) he ran a 12.9 but wasn't really trying to beat his PB which was 12.5... he was mainly giving family members a ride and friends..
also that black MR2 was quick! 12.9 with 1.9 60 footers!!
jeffs fwd coupe with the evo 6 motor and box managed a 13.9 @ 125mph.. dont know about that MPH though, the RHS MPH display was off the dial!!.. some ppl were running 14's @ 115mph!!.. either the board was stuffed or the cars had crazy top end!!
in total has a good turnup! alot of people didn't come but we still managed to keep the track busy!
dont worry for those who missed out!, we'll organise a calder meet some time, and also some track time at WINTON also with the HONDA club =) (I'll get my mate to register us into the HONDA club)
