well...you cant really compare a 6 banger with a hair dryer with a golf lol

Why not????

If my banger turbo'd mk1 can run with low 13 sec cars incl. tuned ls1 & ls2's why couldn't it run with a mildly tuned RB20 or even a R25 six?

Ask Dom how Nicks (Doms dad) Skyline would run against my mk1!

Obviously an RB26 (GTR engine) or a 2J (toyota big banger six which is on par with the RB26) is out of the question for my setup


Also my engine is only a stocker, so it wouldn't be exactly ideal on a track, but I reckon with a good oil cooler & the boost wound down to 10-14psi, set the suspension up how I had it in my GTI with the sticky tyres, it could run with some pretty fast cars. In a perfect world you'd also add a LSD of some sorts

Wouldnt say a Mk1 couldnt keep up with a Golf mate! Look at some times.

Winton is a demanding track which rewards an agressive driver is a small car.

I know a Skyline is quicker but heck anything with good suspension, brakes, tyres and a nut with his head screwed on can go places.

I think you meant a mk1 keeping up with a 6 banger & turbo but anyway,



I'm with you on this James.

I was lapping the exact times at Symmonds Plains which is a fair old power circuit in my banger engined GTI against an E46 M3 (probably more to do with the M3 driver though!) & was also able to run against an E30 in straight line drag race out of the horseshoe corkscrew turn up the back straight & also out brake & out maneuver him too!


Never underestimate what you can do in a simply setup mk1!

[WABIT]

I think the heading says VW

you obviously cant read

anyways, tims mk1, its ****ing quick! as in, itll smash dads skyline quick, any day under any conditions, and i can skate the skyline pretty well in 2nd gear accross 3 lanes for about 80mtrs, imagine getting that power down and still having some turbo'd mk1 smash that!

if i were to bring the skyline, id try to be no where near tim on the track haha

I'm keen but will need some track rubber for my 15" track wheels... plus my CAMS licence and helmet

[Jarred]

I'm thinking probably better to go down to PI when bruce is on, and everyone (inc VP guys) are down there. would make for a better day, and gives me more time to make sure everything is hunky dory with the mk 2

give's me time to get money for a licence and a helmet!

I'm going to get an open face helmet... they are only about $80 for an ADR approved one,

then the hunt for tyres begins

[Buller_Scott]

dumb question, guys, but im clueless and i couldnt find too much literature on the cams site last time i checked, other than a whole bunch of stuff pertaining to the relationship between and functions of the different division of cams, so....

how to get a license? do you gotta do courses/ classroom theory work etc etc over a period of time? any square-footed buttkick in the right direction would be great.

cheers

1. Join a CAMS affiliated car club, (PIARC, VWCV HAC etc)
2. Send CAMS money.

That's it.

The CAMS website sucks for finding stuff..

Here's where all the license types can be found.

Here's a direct link to the LS2 license application form.

cheers pete! yeah- on the cams website, the information wall etc looked pretty much impenetrable, i was like ''how in the hell does a young guy like josh get his cams license at such a young age when surely its gonna take me years to be able to get clearance for sightseeing non-competitor status at any cams events?!?!?!?!"

this is the info i needed.

thanks heaps! always wondered what it'd be like in an (official, timed, competetive) hillclimb.

cheers mate,

scott
