hmmmm...
hmmmmmmmmmm...........
well, well, well,
I'll be there one way or another but I don't know what car I'll actually be in. I was plannign on giving the celica its one last hoorah out at the track for its farewell, but It has suddenly developed more problems, something in either the driveshaft or hub is making it dangerous to drive, So I am gonna concentrate on getting the MR2 on the Road ASAP, if that goes to plan I may have him there for running laps, otherwise I won't be running at all (oh why?) Have to get back to you guys when I know for certain.
bummer

Yep definately count Tweety and I in for a bit of fun. Considering all the requests we have had for a day like this I hope the $120 does not scare too many off!
I think Phil Eacott in his revived Supra and Justin in the Syline OR 4AGZE Sprinter????? Come on guys who want to put their wallet where there mouth is? Its just as much as a good night out on the turps....without the police!
All cars welcome to attend. experienced or newbys...like me.
Cheers
Mitch

Great idea Shano
Tweety has a stonking 60RWKW out of an EFI '3TG' so Im guessing around the 4h 32m 16s lap time, mean difference of 4.3s due to strong wind, upsixed big mac ill have eaten and a frustrated attitude at being the slowest on the day!
OK then as a newby ill say 1.52 minutes??????????

Here is the fool-proof excuse to ring up with on the Monday morning for a day off work:
"I have explosive diurea" (no one will ask about this when you turn up to work on Tuesday either).
A guaranteed success.

PS: Phil Eacott: I guess we better get that supra of yours running so you can show us why you should have driven 1000km at bathurst

Would love to have it done by then but you know how slow I work on Tweety! At this rate Ill find some time in late August to take Tweety off the road and hook in. Just too busy now and having way too much fun spinning the 235s in the wet just now!
I reckon if you took 3 weeks off, hit the bank for a loan and lived in the garage until 9 August you would have the little beast ready for the track day...Ha!!

OK, why is the time for my sprinter down as 1.01 and the skyline 1.23??? other way round maybe,
Sprinter needs shocks and springs badly, also some new front tyres. so if i have all that in 4weeks ill bring it other wise i'll bring the skyline(gee dam) Time for me in that car? I guess 1.18, as i've been round the track 3years ago in a VR commy wagon, all on my own( and i had my L's!!! advantage of knowing the right people) and i guessed a 2.00 and was very close,
ToyCam
There was a stock blue sprinter (oz spec) up last J racing day, he was pulling 1.30's to 1.25's.
I need somebody to have a good digi video cam, as i plan to do a little drifting. (yes in the skyline, i've been getting some pratice on closed roads)

Yeah, but it was probably driven by a better driver
Plus my car still runs it -original- springs and shocks, and solid front disks. so we'll see how it goes...

Another option is if people who have paid to drive their car on the track are not driving (ie they are having a break or have broke their car) they are able to be a passenger in a car (only paid people can be passengers as far as I am aware).
So a steady handed passenger could do some in car filming and commentating!! That way the camer could move about and film different views, but either way would be good footage.

Well the White GT4 does consistent 1:13s on 215x17x40 Yokie 595's with approx 13psi. Now running 16.5psi but doubt it'll run as it's up for sale.
The red UZ185.....TBA i guess We'll be flat out getting it sorted in time but if it makes it i'm hopeful of sub 1:11

well at this rate now I'll be flat out to get any car ready for the track day, replaced the rack in the celi and guess what no fix still sounds bad, its deffinatly in the driveline, already eliminated steering, driveshafts, hubs, wheels bearings, last thing I can think is it may be the gearbox, so I might be fucked this time. ohh well gonna concentrate on the mr2 from here

Bad news mate. Maybe a quick stop into Bates or someone who will be able to run the car and save you all the anxst of diagnosing it yourself. You will feel a lot better once you definately find out what it is! Hopefully something cheap and easy...if there is such a thing!

Thats bad luck Joel, sounds like it could even be a slightly damaged tooth on one of the gears within the gearbox??

I don't think its one of the tooth I thinks it may more be the viscous coupling starting to slip is so I am shagged, well on the mr2 all thats left to do is were gonna pull the head off replace the gasket and do the valve stem seals, and then get my new wind screen and put it in, although 2 weeks may be pushing it.

I'm not a CCG member, but was past president and treasurer of the now defunct Canberra Celica Club...does that count?
I had the GT4 out the other day and the best I did was a 1:16 with crap tyres.
I should have finished the Group A conversion by then so hopefully I'll be there and it will be a good opportunity to check the IAT's...see whether they've changed much.
Can I be a tentative?

Hi Matt
Well I joined the CCC and shortly after that it converted to the now also defunct Toyota Club. Some time later I started our own CCG with Phil Eacott as I had met so many Celica guys cruising that were great lads. Anyway, really hope you can make to see another GT4 make an apperance. We will put you on the list (please Shane) and if you cant make it then just give us a call/post.

Phil Eacott...a name from the past. I don't think he's ever forgiven me for stuffing up his wiring in his '22 when we stuck a 4AGE in.
I'd done it before on a few cars and not had the problems that we did with him.
I'll be there if I can.

I can't see why not gold28?? Mitch is organising the day and will probably see this shortly and respond, but if you can confirm your attendance I am sure there shouldn't be a problem with it.

My mods for the day are on track, even after dropping the trolley jack on my foot and turning it black/blue/red and swollen

G'day Mitch,
Yep I've had the boss at home confirm my leave. I have to clear it with the other boss at work and I'm there. So yes consider it confirmed. (work is a little slow anyway, so it won't be a problem)
The celica was off the road over Christmas due to a cooked ECU. Long story but it ended up getting an engine swap because of it. You saw the car at dubbo and not much has been done since then. It made 148.7rwkW at dyno day and best of 9.21 at dubbo 1/8th mile. Not bad for a $700 engine.
I don't expect anything special on the track due to the exceptional handling it has (exceptionally bad), but it goes and stops OK so guess around 1:20 mark.
Looking forward to it,
Anthony

Yeah, when I bought the car it had a standard anti-roll bar on the front and a fairly hefty aftermarket one on the back. It was dangerous on a wet road. I am now running on just the front standard and it seems a lot better, for normal driving anyway.

Well I have another interesting contender for the day. Adrian from my work in a hot new Nissan 200XS with a fair bit of work done to it to make its maiden voyage on the track. As a first timer he is looking at a conservative 1:35 Lap, but knowing Adrian it will get a fair hiding on the day, so who knows! Cheers. Mitch

If any more females want to come they have to be driving Excels or Barinas
Just kidding, it's looking like a great turnout.
I better do some more work on the car tonight to get it ready in time!
AND we are waiting for confirmation of Phil Eacotts attendance!!

AE86slut
I will note you down as coming (can you make a note of this too Mitch), as all but 2 (yourself and Gold 28) on the list are coming from Canberra we will be cruising up in a group (from Canberra). We are leaving at 8am on the dot so we should arrive at Wakefield at 9ish. We could meet you NSW guys at the entry to Wakefield if you like? Or inside?
The lap time guesses are just for fun, nothing serious. Most of the people going have not been on the track (myslef included) so they are complete guesses.

Depending on whether I can get my car sorted (come down Staurday and get a few of my Canberra buddies to help me replace my main rear main seal and sump gasket) I will be there. Car was dynoed last week. Made 297kw @ 17psi. Still more to come as well.
Anyway got my Simmons all sorted and bought some Falken race rubber today.
Put me down for a 1:59, oh, for one lap, make it a 1:18 and I'll work down from there.
Will talk to you Mitch, Justen and Phil and see how our time schedules are to see if we can get my repairs done
Talk soon.

Hey this is looking like it could be a little busy, do you know if there are many others that are turning up. 20 cars on the day would be great, plenty of track time. Much more than that could slow it down a little. I guess being an open day, we won't know until we get there. Anyhoo I'm looking forward to havin a bit O fun <= what I will look like after a couple of laps.

hmm bummer may be sitting this event out at this rate, can't find the fault on the celica, but it has gotten bad, besides even if I did fix it I would need new front brake pads before I go out because I would chew whats left of them on the track. and I don't know if I can afford that since the 4a in the mr2 is totally rooted, needs new rings and head gasket, so shes gonna be a big rebuild, but it will be worth it, I hope

Time for a GZE then!
19 cars shouldn't be a big deal, with up to 8 on the track at once, and considering that most street cars can't handle more than 5 or so hard laps without cooking either the brakes or engine oil

Hey guys I was around at Jason's place last night picking up some wheels and he came up with an awesome idea for getting some racing footage. The idea was to make a bracket for a video camera, that fits on the rear view mirror mounting holes. Any body got some time and welding practice to spare to make 'RACE CAM' a reality???

I'm with shane on this, go the GZ dude, i've been drivning mine around and there aint alot if difference in fuel consumption from the 4a-c, and i was getting 450k's from 38-42L. i think once the GZ is run in it'll be better, and u get better performance, with more room to expand into greater things (coff) turbo (coff coff). hehe.
Well the skyline runs outta rego on the 5th. can anybody give me a hand in passing it? it's all engineered, road worthy everyting,(except cat) any good places?
otherwise i'll be up in the sprinter( anybody got a stock seat to fit sprinter? need one asap!!!)
