I installed all 3 of the DeltaV shifter bush kits about a month ago.
I used to shift faster, but in doing so I wore out my synchros quite badly. Now that they're already worn out, it's harder to keep doing fast shifts.

Bummer
I hate changing gearboxes

Congrats that's a great time considering the few runs you had and problems with hoses blowing off.

Well done Rob. It'll be great to see how you do when you fix your hoses and can get into a rythym....

Here is a list of the many things I know I did wrong in the 1:11.3 lap, so there is plenty of room for improvement...

Turn 1 (kink): I lifted way too early at the end of the straight, even earlier than I have on other occasions. This is the scariest thing to improve on though! My car reaches over 200km/h at that point.
Turn 2: Not too bad, I'm not sure if it's worth trying 2nd instead of 3rd gear.
Turn 3: I lifted too early and coasted for too long. I also over-steered a bit but that's OK.
Turns 4 and 5 (over the hill): Not too bad, but could've gone a little faster.
Turn 6: I used the concrete on the right of the ripple strip as I should, but I could've applied more throttle overall.
Turn 7: I lifted too early again after turn 7 just before the fishhook.
Turn 8 (fishhook): I sort of missed the apex on entry, and I missed the heel-toe shift down to 2nd but it didn't matter on this occasion. I could hold 2nd gear for a bit longer too, but then my car just wants to power-slide.
Turn 9: I missed the apex so I couldn't put the power down early enough.
Turn 10: I lifted too early again and coasted for too long.

Those are lots of little things which will all add up to many more seconds off my lap time once I fix them all.
It's easier said than done though!

All that matters is that it's so f**king fun! :-) :-)

Good effort Rob. If Im not mistaken its sounds like you might be hooked!

It's great to see such an awesome car actually used to its full potential, rather than just cruising the streets. Well done Rob.

+1!

Thanks guys! It definitely makes me feel happy knowing that I'm making the most of my car.

Tonight I took some measurements so I know exactly how to fix my intercooler piping. All I need to do is replace one straight pipe with a slightly 'S-shaped' section to correct the current misalignment.

Rick- Punching mainies down George St is pretty good use of the car I think. Track days are for posers.

Rob- good! Once it's fixed I'll finally get that passenger ride I've been hanging out for since MTC 2014. And you should be able to bang out laps all day.
