Looking good Pete,

Will have to catch up soon and meet. Looks like you have some good stuff going on there and now with your track wheels/tyres we should organise a day at Wakefield :)

If you're not busy Sunday 18/4, come along to Eastern Creek. I'm doing a supersprint meet there that day. Come and have a look and see if its the sort of thing you'd like to get into. :beer

Cheers,

I'll try and get out there. I've actually been a member of the ARDC for about 8 years but have only done one track day. Hoping to do more when I finally get the car sorted.

I was going to go to E-Creek for the Drift Nationals (to watch) but just checked the start time and they have canned the event and promotor has pulled the pin on the 2010 season at this stage.

Move the coil packs from going over the rocker cover to up on the fire wall.

Third time was the charm when it came to making the bracket. I'm happy with the result. I think it looks neater than before.

Russell Coight: Some of the animals are nocturnal, so the best time to see them is at night. Only you can't see them, because it's dark.

Starts to make boost at 2,500rpm and is at 15psi at 3,200rpm.
I should get a video clip of it spooling up on the street for reference.

As you were coming down Brooks Rd to the roundabout in Ingleburn, I was in the Bursons Ranger heading towards the M5.

I actually work at a place on Williamson rd Ingleburn (just off Brooks rd). The cops favourite hang out as there is always someone speeding along there...

Looks like I found the source of one of the oil leaks.
Replaced the front crank seal. Still oil pissing our of somewhere. Noticed 2 bolts missing from the oil pump cover! Wtf. How did I miss that. Found 2 bolts. Put motor back together minus the black plastic timing cover. Took it for a boon for 20 minutes. No oil pissing out. :)

Then removed clutch slave cylinder and fitted a rebuild kit to it as supplied by Aaron. Fingers crossed I rememberedto put the seal around the correct way?

Then put the braided clutch line the Brendan organized abot 2 years ago!

Havent had a chance to test it out yet on the road.

Now looking to get the underside all degreased the I can fit new suspension bushes, D2 coilovers, remove brake dust covers, fit QFM brake pads... And the list goes on.
