Subaru_Kid's Ae82 Tin Can - Parting Out

[kickn5k]

probs not. LOL I want to get under 1:40 at winton with a relatively stock smallport... even if it needs to be done on full slicks! :P

 

 

 

I like the setup of events at winton, there is heaps of track time and its cheaper than the track days ive seen at the other tracks. I like the location and the technical nature of the circuit. Its about skill and suspension setups rather than having power.

 

It's good to have something to aim for. Are your 1:40-45 times for the short or long track. 1:40 for the long track is fair humming along. For reference the top three NC historic touring cars at last historic winton were doing 1:40's on the long track.

 

I prefer Sandown and P.I. myself just because they are easier for me to get too. Sandown is about 25min away from my place.

Long track mate ;)

 

 

I might give the other tracks a go once I hit my goal at winton

Not much of an update.

 

 

Been busy with school and what not so the car has been a bit neglected...

 

 

But I tried on the gemini wheels again with my spacers, turns out theyre the same hubcentric bore as my 6UL's, not to mention they fit perfectly in the guards now. I'm currently only running them on the rear and whenever i even think of making a turn they scrub :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

The suspension has settled a bit now so i can't do this trick anymore... which means theres very little rear wheel gap now :D

 

Also the interior is back in...

 

 

 

 

And i deleted my rear wiper because it was blowing my fuses and i couldnt drive without wipers lol illl give the bolt a quick rust-convert and paint once i have time ;)

👍 cheers mate, this now gives me a reference point to pay out on webers4x48 that his daily should almost be as quick as his 430hp bombadore around winton(600hp nc tourers do 1:40's)!!

 

That shifter extension is a good idea.

Came across a couple of pics :D

 

 

 

 

 

And my favourite...

 

 

 

Also tried on a mates set of very wide BBS wheels

 

 

 

 

Got a few big things planned for the car in the new year, and hopefully its back out on the track in march :)

[Sznaps]

what is this red thingy on your grill (track pics). Is it camera? Got some vids?

 

These bbs are great but I guess would be pity to use them on track days. Anyway if you put some wider flares there these would look great! Do you have model name and specs of these rims you were trying on?

This.BBS would only be for daily use if i was to get a set. it would be silly to track on them as they weigh a fair bit more than the 6ULs. No flares on this car, i like the look of the stock guards too much :)
