We had a pretty successful weekend up at Winton last weekend. Friday practice: 6th, 9th (only 4 laps until I ran out of fuel..) and 11th (broke 3rd gear. Saturday: Qualified 9th only 0.4 away from 6th, Top ten shoot out finished 9th with a crappy lap, My best starting position so far, Race 1 punted off turn one of a 30 lap race, to much damage DNF. Sunday: Warmup 5th only 0.03 away from 3rd, Race 2 started last from 16th, passed 9 cars to finish 7th! We are off to Sydney motorsport park on the 3rd July! Turn 1 at Winton!

G'day, Winton is coming up in a few weeks, we finally got around to putting some stripes on the old girl, looks more like a race car now haha. Hopefully we will go well at Winton :P It will be getting black wheels too... and yes I missed some red on the front hah

G'day, Though I'd update you all from Sandown, Practice one & two on Friday finished 10th in the wet out of 20 cars. Qualifying one on Friday I finished 15th in the dry, made some adjustments to the car for Qual two Saturday and got 12th after 3 laps as I put it into the wall outside turn 3, dented the guard and quarter but nothing else.. With combined Qual times I started 13th, Race one I finished 11th, Made another change to the car for Race two and it felt better I was running 10th on lap 4 and was catching 9th, then the brakes went to the floor into turn 1, I ran off the outside but didn't hit anything, DNF for Race 2 as the brakes were still on the floor at the end of the lap... 20 lap old rear padslp were metal on metal... Race 3 I started 15th and made my way to 12th, but was faster than the two cars in front, Race 3 is on Speedweek on SBS this Sunday the 19th of April at 2:00PM, i'll post some pics & vids soon! Here's something to keep you going for now! Gearbox sucks :(

Here's a pic from phillip island back in September, sideways around the second last turn with the ocean in the background :P

So this time next week we will be home from the first round of the Australian super 6 touring cars at Sandown, we have done a fair amount of work to the car over the last month, Hopefully we will be a bit further up the pack now, mind you the looking at the entry list they are all very competitive cars! i just hope my poor old gearbox will hold up to the new power :P I'll let you's know how we go next week, and when it will be on SBS Speedweek! Cheers :y:

Yeah i remember Gerrad said he was going to get it for himself haha, i need some good seats in my VT so if you think they are good i might look at getting a couple, car looks great!

Spent the day at Rowse Motors​ yesterday! massive thanks to the guys there, new set of heads and a few other little things, making good power now! should be about 40-45rwhp gain!! Check out their website to see what they do http://rowsemotors.com/cms/ They do some impressive work there, if you need any work done contact them. We are doing a few other things to the car too so hopefully we will see some improvements this year! Can't wait to drive the car now! The rest of the motor is holding up well too so i'm happy :) Has about 60rwhp more than last time i drove it :P Also thanks to my family who have helped me out, Really appreciate it! Bring on 2015!

I have been looking at that exact seat from shep autobarn for a while now haha! cars looking good!

Dyno vid, made 204rwhp, so 20 more than it had, getting there but still down haha

G'day, so we took the car to a test & tune at Winton on the 2nd, it went pretty well in the +40deg heat, ran the same as my best time, and tires are probably 170 laps old, it sounds pretty good now, getting it tuned on the 2nd, so we will see what power it makes, it was running lean when i got it going, went up about 20 points on the fuel map so it has definitely made a difference! Here's some highlights, only got 3 clean laps, the rest were stuffed up by slower cars...

Looks like it's starting to come together mate, liking the cage!!

Haven't done much to the old beast for a while, but i did get the rear door, and lowered it, looks good now, just chopped springs for now, pics with Simmons again haha, i need another set of wheels...

old exhaust haha

Hellooooo, sorry for lack of updates lately, have been pretty flat out... So we've finished making a new exhaust for it, got a set of used pacemakers too, sounds good and even just sitting in the shed it seems to have more power, it revs up a bit quicker that it did before, and even better it only cost around $300 including the extractors!! We will dial the cam in soon and get it tuned, hopefully the power figures will be a bit higher! Then we will take it to a test and tune day at winton, Thanks to Chris for info on the exhaust! They have released the regulations for the VY/BA's next year, we are thinking about starting another build for the next few years, i think it will be a little bit expensive but we shall see, they are running coilovers , t56 6 speeds, haltec ecu, a control 18x8 rim, all the suspension is bolt in so no mods are allowed, just the adjustments on them Anyways here is my exhaust..

Looks pretty tidy mate, would be fun with a gze, i've got a build thread for mine on here, check it out, there a a few other ones too, keen for more pics though haha! :y:

no probs mate will send it now :)

Yeah that would be a bit of fun, if my racing doesn't work out i'll probably try a bit of drifting, something iv'e always wanted to do! Yeah that's right, i'm hanging to see the regulations just so i know what the go is, from what i heard they were trying to make them about the same speed as the VT/AU's, but i highly doubt that will happen. I must say i miss taking home trophies from the sprints, iv'e got 11 to keep me happy for now but i'm starting to really want another haha. yeah we will just keep working away, i brought a second hand set of pacemakers today for $250, they should help a bit, and if your able to pics would be great! I've heard that about the cam timing off a few people, we set it on 4 deg ADV, and i found out that the cam has 2 deg ADV ground into it too so its on 6 ADV, but now iv'e heard that they normally run them retarded so hopefully that will give me a bit more power haha :P

Holy crap that setup is awesome, very nice work!!

G'day mate, Thanks for that, yeah it is pretty expensive, and sucks that they are updating to the VY/BA's too... sorry to hear that man, but as long as your still doing some racing it's better than nothing, what are you driving now? We are really struggling to come up with the funds to get the car going better, and then throw in the cost of racing it, it's bloody hard, definitely a rich mans sport haha. I tell you what, it's bloody frustrating to drive when it's lacking that much power, i'm driving it so hard to stick with them, at Phillip island i passed cars 20+ times in the corners, a was passed 20+ times down the straights, i was only passed 3 times in the corners haha. I was really happy with how we went at Winton with the national boys, i was holding 13th until i ran out of fuel, but i was 1 sec off of 7th places fastest lap, and 2.5 secs off the front few guys, i was losing 1 second down the main straight compared to the front cars, so we will be going pretty well if we get some power! The next thing i'm doing is a set of pacemakers and new exhaust, dialing the cam in, hopefully that will get us a bit of power, not really sure what to do next. My car is spot on 1470! i don't know how but i'm not complaining, 20kg left to be safe, i think it's because of my cage, it's a pretty basic cage. My car has cost around 15k so far, and iv'e spent around $3,500 racing it this year, you certainly helped out allot with the front end setup, it's handling pretty well, but i even think i'll be quicker in some corners when i have more power so i can rear wheel steer it a little, allot of them i can hold it flat on the exit so i could put more power down if i had it..

Check out SBS Speedweek at 2pm today for all the action from the Super Six touring cars from Phillip Island.

more power & reliable is best though haha

unfortunately i think the only time i'll be on it is my off track excursion, spewing too as it was good racing..

We had a pretty good weekend at Philip island, in Q1 which was my first session, I managed 23rd out of 29 in slightly wet conditions, then in Q2 in the dry i was 28th, so we started race 1 in 28th, I had a great battle with 3 cars and finished in 26th, I started 25th in race 2, battling with the same cars again, managed to finish 20th, then in race 3 I was holding 22nd until the last lap, I was overtaken down the straight after siberia & pushed a bit too hard trying to go around the outside at lukey heights, I ended up in the grass at around 150kph and slid back onto the track at MG, got going again but dropped to 25th. We discovered that the cars near us at the rear of the field we were fighting with have around 250rwhp. Our car has 186rwhp, so pretty happy to just be able to keep up, made for a lot of good hard racing though, and on tires that have done around 160 laps i'm pretty happy with our speed in the corners.. So now we are putting it on hold until the first round next year in March, so we can try to get more power, getting sick of passing people on the corners and then just getting past back down the straits haha. car went really well though, not a problem all weekend, just need some sponsorship now to help pay for it ;)

Yeah have to run vt ss front bar and rear wing, the rest of the body has to be pretty much stock yeah thats it, i put a new camera in it for this round so its got a better view, yeah i like the wet!

also got it dyno tuned the other day, made 186rwhp, got 12rwhp out of it and a fair bit more torque, making around 250-260hp at the flywheel, but the front guys are making around 300hp, we know what it needs to get there but just can't afford it..
