Pass - I'm all over (West of Shetland just now LOL ) - I wouldnt want to work for any length of time in that **** hole either. Turbos - Dont plan to go rotated (not yet anyway) Plan 500bhp on a standard mount MD321 (T would it be?) and some gearbox mods (JDM DCCD 6sp) to suit. 500bhp is MORE than enough..... I cant help thinking a lot of these cars coming out now are all about headline figures - wouldnt fancy trying to keep it on track at that sort of levels.

holly thread revival batman! Bit of an update on this car (shame a lot of the links at the start are now deed) Its currently running 611bhp and in its 3rd full year of TimeAttack with Fee driving.

Early 2009 (wrap done by Donald 'MadMac' @ VinylCut) Before TA gfx and Fee's crash at Oulton. about 1 week later.... :| After some DIY repairs Rear track increased by about 60mm over winter into 2010 - new rear arches fitted - DIY again and some TA pics from 2010 season FULL project thread here - tons of pics - http://trackscotland.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3

Updates... New engine is in - mapped - run in - oil changed. Its just getting some finishing bits and bobs done to wiring for MSA Blue book regs. It SHOULD be out on track on the 16th IF the spare wheels (gold) fot over the calipers. New wheels arrived today - but dont have the arch mods done to accomodate them yet LOL 9" wide on a classic 2dr. how the car was looking.... front splitter setup is slighty different now. Be good to get it back out on track and hopefully used in Nippon and SMRC Sports & Saloons before the end of the year

good luck guys

least your werent picking your nose or something

I'm on Impreza engine 3 now - so yes..... it was a killer or i'm a killer.... one or the other. JDM DCCD 6sp is on the cards when the turbo change is done... aiming to get around 500bhp'ish.... I dont get to drive the Skyline much these days

will I be fast enough..... I'd be fast enough to get in your group (of course) but doubt i'd be in it due to OHW stuff LOL Still - I have the backup plan of a stinger strip thing :| Being honest - I dont mind not entering Snet. Its not really a good track for my car I was at about 8k revs on the back straight in 5th with 340'ish bhp last year - I'll be just banging off the limiter with the near 400 it has now. At least it has brakes and suspension now - so corners could be gone round rather than through/over etc Fee's collection of vids (I think the incar of the final is funny. Fee - a lot of folk put more 'effort' into driving to the shops Thats not a bad things - just saying your style is quite laid back ) Practice Qualifying Final (in car camera didnt seem to work so its just rear view and a nice wee clip of me bouncing around!)

you can see on the pic below - i think she hit traffic on her fastest lap (1:40.8) at Hall Bends. She's a good 10mph slower at that one section for that lap - comapred to previous best laps (all laps can been seen listed on left window) RED is her fastest lap btw. excuses I know - everyone had the same traffic to deal with when you think about it. Better planning / judgement etc

It is close Fee REALLY needed that 3rd - and to miss it by 0.006 doesnt even comprehend. I cant even imagine how small that gap is Still - 70 points for 4th is better than 0! All to play for in the final round..... no pressure Here is Fee's qualy vid. - I'll get some data logs up in a moment - I really think Fee could have had 2nd - i'm biased though

I'm interested

Seems to be less and less Impreza on track now and more and more EVO's! I was hoping to make it along but my Impreza still wasnt ready and had a family outing planned.

multiple maps are all very well... but they dont really change much if you have a big (more laggy) turbo and cams for example. I only use multiple maps for different fuels.

as said above.... brakes and susp, then lightness .... once you have hindered by lack of power sort out the engine. Too many folk do the opposite and are hindered by too much power

Any vids Scott? Check this write up - http://www.racecar.com/Motorsport/News/Tim...und-3/35513.htm

Fee's version of events.... http://www.trackscotland.co.uk/timeattack/.../2010round3.htm

Great results for two Scottish Scoobies members Fee came 2nd in the final, Scott (Gambler) 3rd Fee beat Scott by a HUGE 0.025 second margin.... Oooof, close doesnt quite descibe that gap! Fee - 53.659 Scott - 53.684 results - http://www.tsl-timing.com/attack/2010/102570.pdf John S has heaps of pics that I'm sure he'll post up

Scott - yup... a lot of folk seem to make the mistake that its just like a track day. I dont think Fee or I really push that hard on trackdays. Fee certainly doesnt anyway.

LOL Nutter. What size of discs are they? We've cracked a few sets over the years now. Fee was bedding in brakes on the warmup session - I hate the heat that is generated when bedding them in. The wheels were buring to touch when she came in.

possibly.... just not sure if i'll be in the coutry I'm away to Sakhalin on Monday.... touch and go wether I'll be home in time for Brands.

update(s) Took out another engine on the 6th Feb (suspected bigend bearing.... again). It was a second hand engine, and was always a bit loose sounding from the off. It is being replaced with a freshly built Lateral 2.1 stroker. EJ20 Closed Deck block. EJ257 2.5lt STI crank, block machined to suit. Lateral H Beam long stroker rod set Lateral/Wiseco custom 2.1lt piston kit, with up rated pins Uprated oil pump layered metal HG's Heads - The old (second) engine had a set of worked (by BGV) heads on them with race cams. These were sent down to RCM for inspection and after a bit of deliberation it was decided that these werent the best for my application. Sent another two sets of heads to RDM (standard V4, and SMG V3) for inspection. The SMG worked heads were chosen and built up with supertec valves, titanium valve gear and the piper race cams. Turbo - Rebuilt the TD05-20G that was on before. Will use this for running the car in, and then see where the wind takes me. Inlet manifold tidied up 8mm bung to replace one way breather valve (that I had blocked off anyway) cleaned and masked same blue as Skyline cage..... hope it'll look ok in the Impreza engine bay LOL Headers wrapped..... The engine and car are now rady for re-fitting.

I use Paisley Frieght for engines/gearboxes - no problems and quite cheep.

canada?! USA! Anywhere that snice in Aberdeen will be expensive easy. City Centre living = west end edge of town - out Deeside, cults, miltimber etc

here is the winning lap from Gareth Lloyd in the orange CPR Evo (old RC Dev car) 51.3 secs or something crazy like that ********************** In Car vid from Jamie Wilson in the Exige.... very good quality vid, and some smooth driving. Jamie Wilson, came 2nd in Club Forced RWD. No idea on the power output of the car, but it isnt slow. http://vimeo.com/11876935 and some footage of qualifying. http://vimeo.com/11879075 ************************ Vid from one of the minis ********************************* Marco Haig in the Fiat Coupe

I'm not sure what the power difference is between scott and Fee, or the car weight. I know Fee is lighter than Scott Fee seemed to be faster on KH speed traps, but Scott was quicker on Oulton speed traps. So.... no real clear cut answer on which car has the power/weight advantage. Get them side by side on a long straight LOL I think fee's has more grunt for sure (570bhp at the flywheel), but it still must be around 1300kg without driver.
