Took Friday off work and went with Martin to the Eastern Creek open day which was great. Only $135 plus garage is a lot cheaper then supersprints or open days but doesn't have official timing. Lucky we both have gps timing as well as i have an aims timer still in the car from ages ago.
Unfortunately i had miss fire issues again that forced me to short shift below 6500rpm which was frustrating, by turning the boost down to 14psi it went away but even with 16psi it had a little bit in the top end. Really had enough of the issue and getting the shits, two people have now suggested to me that it could be the fuel lines? Might be worth trying although not sure how on the dyno it doesn't make it yet on the track it does. More money and time ahead....
James came out for the day as well and was helpful with suggestions and running around, would have been a lot harder without him along with Martin.
After the first session the car was really tail happy and i had put the rear sway bar on the hardest setting so suggestion was to adjust it to the softer setting. I started undoing the bolts that hold the bushes in and Martin suggested i just do the links but being to pig headed i went ahead and undid the bushes, found i still could not get the links out and had to eventually undo the links which if i had done in the first place the stripped bush bolts would not have stuffed up and us having to drive to V-Sport to get 2 replacements ones which when we got back were the wrong thread type and lucky Kim had bought replacement ones with him (thanks heaps Kim). End of the story is we got the sway bar back in and tightened up although if i had listened to Martin in the first place i would not have missed the session.
Managed a PB of 1.45:55 around the track on one of the clear of traffic laps i had, their were a lot of cars out and varying speeds. It was every man for themselves and i was overtaking around every corner even turn 1 sometimes although cautiously.
James is pushing me for more aero now and also to grow some nads and go through turn 1 quicker, there is a lot of time to be gained but going through it a lot quicker and the difference between my previous 1.46 and the 1.45 was mostly through turn 1. With the extra power it is not making the difference which i think might be something on the track compared to the street once perhaps the fuel heats up or something. Not quiet sure but the acceleration was very similar to running with 60rwkw's less so something is amiss.
