Yeh good stuff. Do you guys camp regularly like 10 mins away from the track or something lol
I don't think commodores are that slow in the right hands. Problem is they're driven by douches haha (jks)
Derp, what's a MX-7 lol? MX-5 with a an RX-7 front cut?

There were a few mistakes on the timing sheets.
Its true there were a number of average drivers but they all had cars far more advanced and powerful than the two SW20's.Was great to see you both at the top of the time sheets.
This kind of thing as some cred to the marque so enjoy the moment, well done and look forward to doing it agian soon. Just imagine the your times if you could prize the semi's off Ian! I'm thinking a low 12 or better.

Tree- it was just an rx7 haha. They had some trouble with the timing sheet. Was easily the sexiest car there. And no we don't camp out in front of Wakefield unfortunately. Gotta make the gruelling 2.5 hour drive there and back every time :(. Oh well, at least I don't have to make the trip from Victoria haha.
 
Steve- would've been awesome to pinch the semis for a session but there's just never enough time. Anyway, I'm not sure I'd be able to punch out a good time with them right away. After installing the coilovers and new tyres it took me bloody 2 track days before I could even match my times on the stock equipment. So there's a good chance I'd whack on a set of semis and end up going slower! Then Iain would never let me hear the end of it haha.

Was a great day, thanks to Steve and Pete for helping out and Adrian for some competition.
 
Still 7 tenths off my pb on these tyres and that was with totally screwed front alignment.
 
Adrian with these tyres could get a 12 easily, but he does have a small power advantage. Though he also has air-con!
 
I want to beat my pb of 1:13.01 before I get my turbo car running!

Still beats the 3 hr drive from my place to Winton >_< and you have A/C (getting mine to work soon lol!)
Adrian did u ever get the BC's properly setup and car corner weighted? I reckon with good coil setup, good alignment with camber bolts and the semis it will be quick! But once Iain gets the tubby running you won't have another MR2 to play with :(

Never got corner weighted or anything. I've mucked around with the shock settings a bit and seem to be onto a good thing. Alignment is sitting on 0 toe all round according to our string measurements. Actually feels pretty balanced. Only thing is i have no steering feel on turn in. I'll put a little toe out at the front for next time and it should be good.

If iain runs some crap street tyres on the turbo and i have semis it should be pretty close haha. Otherwise i'm relying on you and ethan to bring your A game! Get a few more track days in and you'll be a serious contender in january.

Haha you got it! Ethan has turbo now so I'll need to work extra hard >:/
Wish I didn't fail so many units at uni I'd be finished by now and out there every week lol

We will sort out the semi's for the next time at Wakefield. We did work out the tyre does not like it at 40psi. Works a lot better at 36psi. Ian had the cold pressures so we can use that as a starting point to see where it takes us.
Adrian, you should join Ian at a few supersprint events. You will both be competitive in your class.
 

I might try and make a couple of super sprints through the year. See how we go for time and money haha. I would like to do a couple of Eastern Creek days. Very cheap compared to doing a full track day there.
 
Not sure if we'd be very competitive. We'd be running in the same class as S2000's, NC Mx5s and the 86, all of which are faster than an sw20. Stock for stock, the 86 and mx5 are about 2 seconds faster than the sw20 around Wakefield and the s2000 around 3 secs faster. Doesn't really phase me though. If I go for a supersprint it'll just be for the fun of it. Need to drive somewhere other than Wakefield for a change!

The S2000 would be faster than NA SW20 for sure (personally turbo would be closer match), 86 just slightly faster only cos more power and DW rear. If the NB is anything like the NC I find it hard to believe it's faster than NA SW20. Maybe equal or slower. Stock for stock. Well in my experience :) - (the guy tracked 4 times at Winton vs my 2 times)
