Excellent days sprinting at 3 Sisters yesterday.

Beautiful sunshine all day, leading after 1st practice, then I lost all the boost pressure and discovered that the actuator arm had come off the wastegate. Fixed that, then leading by just 0.02sec. Then I lost the lead by 0.3 sec on the second to last run and so had to try a different gear at one corner. It paid off and I won with a new PB time of 51.66 sec. High drama :cool:

A huge big thanks has to go to Scoff. I left a very sick Doris with him on Good Friday and after a few days of his ministrations he has given me back a fire breathing sprint winning race car :D

[Brizza]

Nice one Russel! Daft question but do you still use your 5 as the daily driver?

[Brigsy]

Good work Russell. Any incar vids?? :)

[RussellT]

No in car vids from yesterday there are plenty on YouTube already just look up Turborussell

Still the daily driver when shes not in the pits.

The class looks really strong so looking forward to a season of cut and thrust.

[SirSamuelOfBuca]

Nice what sorta bhp u pushing? Bet u boost up quickly on that turbo. Be pointless taking my car I reckon ;(

Looks good fun that's for sure

[RussellT]

BHP not that spectacular but its all about low lag and mid range torque.

As for films a amateur film maker asked if he could use me and Doris as a subject for a short film. Here is the result

Fantastic film Russell - you got to be happy with that.

[rs250nut]

Great film, great car:)

[Woznaldo]

Great film, great car:)

:agree: Lots of people talk about it but, only a few actually make the leap. Loving all the motorsport peeps in the club.

[RussellT]

Woznaldo I almost sent my ECU back to Adaptronic not that far from Sydney to have them enable it for 4 wheel speed sensing, however Scoff got the gen from Andy on how to do it and saved my ECU a trip around the world.

[Woznaldo]

It would seems that the Aussies can put together a mean ECU, Adaptronic, Autronic, Haltech and lets not forget the very top end MoTeC. ;)

[Alastair]

What blower are you running Russ? And are you in Mod Prod or Std road going?

[Matt@CodeRedMotorsports]

Russ's car would be road going, Andy's car would be mod prod.

(do you still have the old rainbow warrior Andy?).

[RussellT]

I run in a "Road Modified class" its a bit of a mongrol as it isnt a true MSA class but a local one developed originaly by the Harewood Hill Climb and adopted by many clubs in the North of England

Here is a link to the class list Im in 1b 1400 to 2l (as the turbo multiplies your capacity by 1.4) and if you scroll down you will see what you can do to the car.

As for my turbo its a T25 supplied by Ian Nixon with a 360 deg thrust bearing no idea on the details of the compresor wheel.

[Andrew Cooke]

indeed I do, and if I ever get this bloody house finished I'll be bringing it back out :D
