4ABHGE

Ive got it on 20 now, and it feels really balanced. Its still slightly inclined to understeer but ill see how it goes after i raise it and get an alignment.

Thanks Mick and youre exactly right! Yeah, this car has been the only unreliable car ive had so far, but its also the oldest. Plus being a daily puts extra wear on things aswell because of extra kilometers i put on it.

I dont mind having too many problems, i like figuring them out and fixing them. Must say, regardless of the problems, this has been the best car ive had by far and wouldnt trade it for anything...

In other news, i put the black wheels back on it and it goes ok. I will be raising it after the weekend. Itll be tight but im gonna try and get it ready for a track day in 2 weeks...

Haven't done much to car since last update though will be expecting a package arriving from overseas within 5 weeks or so. I'll have to keep it a secret till it comes though :D

Anyways, I'd like to take it to winton sometime this year but before that I have a list of things I want to do before i head up there:

-HD clutch

-possible flywheel

-roll front gaurds

-replace rear bushings

-repipe exhaust pipe

Once everything or most are checked, I'd be heading up to winton baby! Anyone want to join me? Haven't settled which track day yet though sometime after July unless I feel the urge of going abit earlier.

Let me know when you go ill come up aswell, im keen to get back up there again but im just having no luck with the car lol

I want to try out a test n tune day so ill be going during mid semester break which i think is in late june early july?

Keen to see all these improvements done on the car, and also what that box of goodies is :D

Well today has been hairy. Car ia running damn well aftera few close calls with a problem with the timing belt and very close to a fire caused by leaking fuel out of the injectors.

But as i said before thr car is running damn well just how a 4age should!! :D

Yeah its arrive'n'drive. Ill double check in the next few days to be sure :)

Unfortunately they dont let passengers in on these days :( so it will have to wait for another time... september for sure! ;)

Dude you gotta bring it to the track one day, youll love the near death experience at every braking point... well i do :P

Fitted the head back on last night with the TRD gasket, torqued it and put the timing belt on after much frustration. Tonight ill put the cam covers on, the dizzy in with a new o-ring (no more leaks :D ) and connect all the electrics to get it all running again.

Then skidz? :D

I did and then you left straight away at kebabs the other week. Didnt introduce myself properly and i didnt want to hold you up from leaving.

I got recommended by Jo to go to that place for an alignment, are they any good? how many times a year does this go for alignment? lol every second time i look at your thread its there :P

whats BHG? big head giant?

Hey! what are you trying to say? :P LOL

its for blown head gasket

LAWL, who needs brakes when u have engine brakes :P

I think that explains my problem aye :P

Exactly!! Cmon you know you want to ;)

SKIDZZZ!!! haha The car is looking real nice... especially sideways ;) Awesome couple of pics.

Dude if thats Alister in the passenger seat youre gonna need to cut a hole in the roof if i want to sit in there... i thought these cars were big :P

Australia Day 28th January 2013 at Winton in Benalla.

This will be held by Tampered Motosports.

What will be required:

- AASA/CAMS racing license (AASA can be bought on the day for $50 and lasts 1 year)

- long sleeve shirt, long pants, and closed shoes. Nylon is not allowed.

- ADR or DOT approved helmet (closed or half face)

- Secure and safe seat belt

- Firm brake pedal

- No oil/fuel leaks

- Secure battery

What to bring:

- Tyre pressure gauge

- Fire extinguisher

Passengers wanting to ride on the track will have to pay a fee of $20 and must also have an approved helmet, closed shoes, long sleeves and long pants.

General rules (we will run through these again on the day):

- Please limit yourselves to crawling speed through the pit paddock, leave it for the track!

- No reckless overtaking, divebombing, bumping or tapping. Be respectful of other drivers and cars!

- If there is a faster car behind you, hop off the racing line and put your hazards on and let them past... check your mirrors on every straight!

- If someone doesn't let you pass, flash your lights to warn them that you are there. If they still dont, pull back, have a cool down lap and push from there.

- No drifting or skids on a circuit day. You will be black flagged and taken off the circuit by the officials.

- Tampered doesn't have a cool down lap, so when the red light flashes, get off the track ASAP.

What to do once we get there:

- Get your paperwork done as early as possible to avoid a massive line! This is done at the dutton direct building.

- Once the paperwork is done, put your lap timer on and prepare your car. Then line up for scrutineering which is also done in the dutton direct building.

- Before your session listen for 'Group B' on the loudspeaker for pre-grouping which is located to the left of the dutton direct building.

- Track entry is located out of the pre grouping car park

- Track exit is located to the left just before the S-bend

We are in GROUP B and our first session is at 9:15AM -- Please have paperwork and scrutineering done before then so you dont miss the first session!

Make sure you are all fueled up for the day, as there is a 1 and a half hour drive from here to Winton. Petrol stations in Benalla dont open until 9AM.

We will have a quick toilet stop after an hour drive for those with harsh suspension lol

Gates for Winton open at 7.30AM, the earlier we get there the more chance we have of occupying a section of carports together.
