Nah guys I'm stuffed too....
Damn no-one has a clockwise rotation TPS when you need it..... It is running, but not all that well.
And the honda has no exhaust on it.
Damn. next time for sure.

What a great day. Rain, wind, 36 degrees and 2 toranas. Was great to see Howard and LITRE8 again on the track. Great to meet RUTS. Will add some pics tomorrow.
Howard: The tyre pressures worked for the first 2-3 laps until the tires got hot. Next time i will have some race tires to help.

Always been a fan of L8, wish I lived a bit closer as I would've like to come out for a look and abit of a chat.
Looking forward to the Walky breaking cover soon too...

Apart from a passing shower at about 9:30am the weather was very kind, albeit windy. I was plagued by a misbehaving fuel pressure regulator that kept switching the fuel pressure from the normal 5bar to 0.5bar at random times, in the end I called it quits and parked it on the trailer. Its a BOSCH unit and they seem to be mega expensive suckers.....
Jason had no such issues, just a lack of fuel requiring a quick fuel run to Goulburn, ran like clockwork all day (till I left at about 3pm anyway).
There were no ricers there but a couple of crazy drivers nontheless. Almost t-boned a guy in a 911 when he did a kamikaze run down the inside at turn 1 (I was just joining the circuit and waved him thru) and then proceeded to execute a 360 spin in front of me.
Jason: Yes serious track tyres and maybe some front end geometry changes would make a huge difference.

Glad, you fellas enjoyed yourselves (insert envy icon here)...
Wakefield is usually quite slippery when the wind blows.
Howard, that is standard driving for a "porker"..... Bet it was an ABS model as well......those guy's are clowns.
With the regulator, i agree the Bosch is too pricy and delicate. I used a Malpassi this time round and with 50psi up it's bum and pushing 60lb/hr injectors it is stable. There' cheap too!
Jason glad to hear no problems.Give me a yell when you decide to crank some geometry into the front end and I'll give you a few places to start.
Sam, not too far to go now. All vitals looked good on it's first dyno pull and the numbers were where they need to be.Just need to get a new TPS into it and set up a limp home table off some other sensor, probably exhaust pressure I think.

Better some than none at all. Thanks Jason. Hopefully I'll be in the next bunch of photos.
