[N S W] Putty Road Run, Sunday Sep. 14th 2008

[Rotary]

What a Massive Turnout, way more than expected.

Drove past Stan’s place, and somehow a couple of the kangaroos got loose, with sasso almost collecting lunch

Nice Drive up Putty, fairly cruisy for a 100k if you want to avoid trouble, then some of the best twisty’s I’ve seen yet, nicely surfaced so a beaut to drive,

Then from there, some gorgeous valley’s with a nice detour via Mibrodale rd running right along the mountainside,

All Up it was a nice drive and good to meet some more Forumites


At Pie in the Sky





Bit of 4wdrivin





Us in Convoy

Looks like it was a nice run, except for the little kangaroo incident. I only just woke up, so it was probably a good idea not waking up at ridiculous oclock for me. But as long as I don't have a big night for the next one, I'll come along for the ride.

@ r_muir's car. It was so much cleaner on Friday night at the station

Yea was an awesome day, really nice road.
Great to meet new people as always

(my photo spam..!)

[sliq]

how many people ended up going?

[-alex]

ah it was pretty a big turn out...

[MXcrazy]

sounds like a great morning out....

We should organise another run, so hopefully more people can make it..

[Rotary]

Rotary your car is nuts! Have you put it on a dyno, blasts off like a rocket and sounds so good.

Only on the Gtech’s dyno, tested after each mod I did, surprisingly punchy for a N/A 1.8L,

Be Nice to chuck it on a dyno if Sydney ever had a dyno day, But I think a Forum WSID Day would be more Fun,
or a maybe a Wakefield day

What does the Gtech predict?

We'll see how you go at wakefield, ehehe. Its way more fun, if that's possible.

what other mods have you done sinze the last time i saw u, rotary?

it was pretty quick the last time we were head to head..

[Rotary]

Still the same, but its 1st and 2nd gears that really haul, 3rd isn’t geared as well as the 6 speed box’s but the extra torque makes up for it a little.

Gtech says 29.6% increase in Torque @4500rpm and 28.7% increase in Power @6500rpm from when I first got it.

I’m not sure what the standard cars Dyno Power would be exactly? Somewhere around 76kw, if so it would be 97.9kw Now.

At the engine the stock 106kw(if True) and 165Nm becomes 136.5kw and 213.9Nm

not sure exactly but around 130kw wouldn't be that far off, last time at WSID, if I didn't F up when the Track temp dropped it would have done a 14.7-14.8s on a 2.2s 60ft. Stock 140kw Type R’s with LSD, similar weight and 2.0s 60ft do about 14.5-14.6s, (hmm LSD )

We'll see how you go at wakefield, ehehe. Its way more fun, if that's possible.

So what you rekon around Wakefield 1:05s
Wish I had your cars setup looked like you where glued to the road and not even trying, while I was at 90%+ , Thought Garry’s SP was great round the Twisties (though he makes it look effortless too).
Doubt I’ll Do well round Wakefield till I sort the handling and my 0 Track Experience (does WSID Count)
So that’s a Thursday Right -alex

Thats a nice increase, I'd really like to see a dyno plot if you ever get around to it.

1:05s...haha GL....That's bell garage evo terrirory. Well the super sprint records are around 1:12 with semis. I can only manage 1:15 atm but with shot suspension. On your first time out get in the teens and you're doing really well. On GIII's got down to 1:16 after a few track days.

Lol it looked planted probably because of the semis, I've also played around with the suspension geometry, and perhaps different lines we took.

I think you'll do fine on the track, learning quickly is the key. Can you heel and toe?, its mandatory if you want to stay on the road and be quick. Before you come you might want to put a more aggressive wheel alignment.

[Rotary]

That's what i was thinking round the 1:20s mark, should be happy with that, iv'e practised heel and toe a bit, but need a bit more practise to get comfortable with it, I can already feel the rear twitching on downchange when i don't do it, and thats only at 70-80% braking.
There A Club Track Day on the 26th Oct, I might head out then.

[-alex]

Yea its a Thursday, I'm trying to give everyone tons of notice, so that people can make arrangements with work and things. Go down in Oct and get addicted then again in Dec and have some more fun..!
