#309121 Q R Time Attack 30.10.14

Posted by OLDIE on 27 October 2014 - 01:57 AM

Have entered again and will find out how much difference an extra 60 or so hp will reduce my times.

Have changed the HD front bar back to stock as was getting way too much front end push tring to power out of corners.




#308320 Myths vs facts on cold starting, running and looking after your forged engine

Posted by OLDIE on 03 October 2014 - 07:43 PM

Agree with this, my front LSD is an absolute bitch till the oil warms up. Foot lightly on the accelerator it pulls right, back off and it snaps back to the left.

 

LOL typical WWD  bum drager behavior.




#308283 Myths vs facts on cold starting, running and looking after your forged engine

Posted by OLDIE on 02 October 2014 - 08:17 PM

I warm mine up for about 5 mins but dont hit boost until i see the oil has warmed up. 40+k on acl race bearing , eagle rods and wiseco pistons. Who says you cant daily a forged engine.... Ive never had any oil in my catch can and fuel smell in oil after 5000 kms is minimal

I just drive my forged stroker gently until the temp gauge is over 1/2 way to normal operating temps. I have the same internals as Croket and 387 HP ATW




#304598 Oakey street sprints

Posted by OLDIE on 20 July 2014 - 09:12 PM

Didn't get as cold as predicted as it got down to a mild 4.8 below zero :o

 

The car is faster than the driver now that Rob Chapman has given me 387.8 HP ATW to play with so it was wheel spin everywhere on a cold track and tyres due to my # 18 starting position but would need to suck on a lemon to wipe the :) off my face. :thumbsup:

 

Was a number of Evos entered as well as an old  RWD Lancer hatch with a 4G54 power and a black WWD Lancer.

Was a good event with some serious machinery entered including a Radical,Porsche GT3 RSR. 3/4 older bodied Aussie cars,Skelta,and a couple of very fast Commodores as well as a RB30T powered 129Y and don't laugh as this is one very fast Datto with a Watts link rear end with rose joints and huge flaired guards over some serious rubber and it goes like stink.

#292327 Noise, Respect, The Need For Speed And The Grumpy Hill Billy

Posted by OLDIE on 14 January 2014 - 09:00 AM

Mt Nebo Hill Billy Get your facts right !! Permanent  Race tracks ,not street circuits ARE NOT built close to houses they were built out in the sticks and then houses were built around them and then the people started bitching about noise.

Lakeside and Echo Valley spring to mind.




#291436 am I unreasonable?

Posted by OLDIE on 02 January 2014 - 06:46 AM

Jack  I know you love your dogbut some time soon you will have to make a hard decision on what is best for your 4 legged mate.

 

A few years ago I had to have my Jess who went to work everyday from 6 mths to almost 15 years and guarded my tools in the truck and knew what smoko,lunch and knock off meant The boys would give her treats but if she was in the truck they could not go and get anything off it .I used to do a 6,12 &20 k run after work and she would be so excited when she saw me putting on my runners and stretching.  I held her as she was given the sleepy needle till she stopped breathing then went outside and bawled my eyes out.She was my mate and she is missed.

Am wanting a FWD early model in reasonable condition so I can get my no1 grandson into autocross to get some skills before he gets his learners next year.
Any help in locating one appreciated .
Do not want to put him in my 350 hp Starion.

#258070 starion cars or parts wanted

Posted by OLDIE on 23 June 2012 - 07:38 PM

The 86 was the first year of the widebody, the 89 was last year of production,only 1960 made , few in the blue paint and very few imported with an automatic trans. 86 has factory wheels and 89 has rondel aftermkt.I bagan interior transplant to 89, both bodies are in great shape and niether has had any mods.The 86 ran 5yrs ago but smoked alot and has a fuel issue. I will take any resonable offers for both.


Unfortunatly the whole Pacific ocean is between us and shipping would cost more than the cars.

Have just read that Brent Raus record breaking 4G63 powered drag car has been bought by Tony Rigoli and will be heading down under.I am not a drag fan but will have to see it in action when it comes to Willowbank.
