im doing the 23rd of June in a couple of weeks then early July theres a couple at qr that ill do to

[PaulF]

5th is the highest i can take turn one so i need to get back into that.. and i dont usually like shifting down at speed because it unsettles the car Might have to though.

Do you heel-toe on downshifts?

[NitroDann]

Maybe practice your pedals

Yeah in that first session I wasn't heal toeing just driving normal. I was using a different line. Through a few of the corners so I was more concerned with getting that right. In the second session I was heal toeing but in saying that I we only out there for two laps so it didn't give me much time to practice

Next time

Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake!

[Smokinscotty]

Maybe practice your pedals on the street too. i always find If you can do it first time everytime on the street then you can on the track without even thinking about it.

Looks quick.

Experience is greater than any go fast mod you can bolt on! Although can be tricky in light sensible street braking, it's retraining your brain on how you downshift. I've always found it easier when you brake late and hard, but even h-t the landcruiser while trawling to work using minimal pedal pressure but keeping a steady foot while swiveling. It's all experience and it all counts.

Pham, I lol'd so loud I just woke up the missus!

i learned to heal-toe in a 60 series and my first car (renault!). I have always found low speed stuff in traffic is much harder to get the feel for.

You'll get the hang of it. Also, saw your new catch can today charlie - Should be sufficient

[charlie_91]

Haha yeah I think so

[BitRusty]

think i just drooled over that acceleration

[charlie_91]

So update,

Picked the car up today.. Got a custom air oil seperator/catch can made up .. Its actually to parts in the one tank sort of thing.. hard to explain but its pretty cool. Should solve my problems for sure.. Will need to test it again at Lakeside Raceway in a couple of weeks so we will monitor how much oil gets in there and then go from there.. If its necessary for a drain that we will do that, also running a line off the other side of the valve cover to.

But like i said, still need to test. Its not something u can really test on the street unfortunately

heres a pic



Once i picked the car up, drove 80km to a mates place and dropped it off for some fabrication work ;) This will be epic but i wont spoil it

Also chucked it on stands and took the wheels off to get re done extremely keen.

I'm envious of all that space you have in your engine bay that allows you to easily move your catch can from the front of the engine bay to the rear. In my SE, engine bay space is at a premium so options are few and far between.

I'm enjoying your build progress so keep it up - it's giving me some "bad ideas" though ($$$).

[charlie_91]

haha all this space comes at a cost.. i no longer have window washers or windscreen wipers for that matter thank god for rainex

[plohl]

Looks good man! Hardly even notice its there.

[Hjt]

Looks great. Does it have baffles inside or is it two tanks combined?

I'm envious of your time or time management skills, I have had bushings under my table since early January.

[16bit]

i have had mine for over 2.5 years!!!!
