I've checked the regs for Type 2, you can run with an After market intake...No restrictions! yay

only if the definition of "air cleaner" = air intake...

[felixR]

wow nice one!!

[hebe]

Congrats to Jase for taking record in his class!!

Well, they didn't specifically say you can't and Air Filter type is free...ladida...

[tinkerbell]

Well, they didn't specifically say you can't and Air Filter type is free...ladida...

um, don't really wanna turn this thread into a ruels debate, but they dont HAVE to specifically say you can't.

they generally say you can't:

Type 2 Vehicle Regulations
(Effective as at January 1, 2007)
1 GENERAL

1.3 The entire vehicle must be as originally specified by the manufacturer
except for the specific freedoms allowed herein.

i.e. any modification NOT listed is illegal.

now - all you need to do is prove the "air cleaner" includes the intake pipe... which i would find hard to do...

ha ha ha!

john you nailed it on your LAST lap!!!!!!!

awesome driving! you gotta drive like that more of the time

Well, a week after Oran Park and Eastern Creek has been run as well!

The shock of the day was in the first session – with BlackDC2 breaking a critical suspension component on the track, being very lucky to not have found a wall!

OZ#227 also had a scare when his engine conked out at turn 12, fearing the worst when his oil pressure warning alarm came on he shut the engine off and was able to coast into the pits, only to find one of his sparkplug leads had popped off. Much to his relief!

John hovered around the 2.02 -2.05 mark all day, no doubt trying things here and there, but he managed to bring it all together in the last session, belting out a 2:00.04 – tantalisingly close to a sub-2min lap!

I had a pretty consistent day, into 1.57’s by the second session with the car feeling very strong around all parts of the course. By session three I was into the mid 55’s, where I stayed for the rest of the day, posting a best of 1.55.5 being 0.3 better than my previous best time. But it was clear that my tyres were letting me down, feeling well past their useful “competitive” best.

The surprise package of the day was e240, who managed to attack well all day, pulling a string of low 1:55’s with a best of 1:55.09. I know Leo was very happy to see 55’s but being close to a 1:54 must have been a great feeling! I think Leo was also stoked to finish ahead of his nemesis – the car 20 Datsun, who he has been duelling with all year. Well done Leo.

The second last round is mid-September at Wakefield, Sunday the 16th. I plan to have new tyres, and will be aiming to hit low 1:12’s and I would encourage anyone who wants to get a taste of competitive and safe motorsport to head down for a bit of competitive fun…

Great stuff...

I know John's capable of going quicker...He's just been finding the right settings with his new Coilovers...takes a while set it up right.

He's car is definately quick and the only way I could actually keep up was by sitting on his butt and drafting him.

[OZ-227]

Thanks guys,
Yeah I think I've got a setting for my coilovers, Fightex DA's.
Hardest setting at the rear, 2nd hardest on the front. Last session was done hardest all round. I was getting the slightest bit understeer at some places around the track. Back the front off 1 click should be it.

I wanted to do a 02:00, so I was pretty happy with that.
Makes me wish I put abit more fuel in for one final go.
But I called it a day.....

[fatboyz39]

Sounds like heaps of fun. Will be joining next year.

2day was awesome day..

great weather and had few good runs...

i gave my self a personal best (lol.. well since was my first real time at wakefield in the itr) with a 1:16.89 (on yokahama c-drives [taxi tyres y0!]) which im very happy with but i reckon i can do a 1:15's with a decent set of street tyres and more practice and confidence

I noticed both E240 and Tinkerbell goin at it hard...

both ur cars are mean!

also there was another DC2R (a red one - sexy car ) if ur on here.. sorry i didnt introduce myself aswell as a DC5S with a CLUBITR sticker if im not mistake, also sorry i didnt get the chance 2 speak with u... car looked hot mang!

[tinkerbell]

good to see you out there SHIFTY

great to hear you got under 1:17!

John (OZ#227) in the red ITR smashed his PB too,

i also smashed my PB - got 1:12.25

i think Leo (E240) might have been struggling with distractions most of the day (why wont my belts stay on!) to attack his.

was fantastic to see Keiren out there (05dc5S) getting some lovely sounds down the main straight it looked HOT as too!
