VIC Motorsport 2010

[Water Boy]

Hey gang,

We have talked about it many times but not much as happened.

- Pete has been busy with his Mk1
- Josh has a Mk1 that's ment to be on the track.
- Jarred is getting a Mk2
- Tim has a VR6 that needs a flogging
- Carl is hanging to get back on the track
- Stu is only allowed to drive on the race track so Mitch can drive him there.
- The Eurospeed crew all drive slow apart from Gerhard
- And my Dad thinks you all need to man up and braaappp it on the track

So there are heaps of hill climbs and track days coming up.

You will need:
Cams Level 2 Speed Licene (L2S)
Helemt
Firmly mounted Fire extinguisher
Non-elastic bonnet restraighnt
Blue Triangle
Some good pads decent brake fluid

Dont worry if ya car is slow or doesnt have Brembo's. I did my first track day in my Mum's auto Mk3 GL. And now I probably have less HP in my CL but who cares im having fun.

So lets get motivated and aim for a AROCA at Phillip Island or a Friday at Winton.

[Tim]

ill get there oneday!
My VR6 needs a lot of fixing before it gets much flogging

[WABIT]

ill bring dads skyline :goodluck:

[Jarred]

I'm hoping to get out to an event this year. finally I should have a car that's capable and suitable.

Can we have some dates? prices? and a place to buy a helmet?

[Water Boy]

Events range from $55 to $180 for the day.

Helmets can be bought from Revolution Racegear, OMP etc.

eBay and other forums have them too.

Race rubber is also nice.

[Water Boy]

ill get there oneday!
My VR6 needs a lot of fixing before it gets much flogging

Well im here to Help... Jarred wil tag along and we will invaite Gav and Lorenz for good luck.

[Geoffrey Hale]

Maybe I need to see how my Rally car goes on the tarmac.

[GoLfMan]

I'd be up for it, but the Sooty would be the one on the track, not the mk1 :)

Jarred, have a chat to me I can arrange a helmet ;)

[Water Boy]

Maybe I need to see how my Rally car goes on the tarmac.

Cool, I could do with some company. :aag:

I was considering Winton sprints on the 14th of March, but it's a long drive and I'd need a crew.

Pete

[16v_kid]

Dad and I will be hitting the track as soon as we get the 2E engine in the golf and some semi slicks.

:banana::banana:

which is anytime soon... -_-

[16v_kid]

ill bring dads skyline :goodluck:

I think the heading says VW :P

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

[Water Boy]

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

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.

[Oneofthegreats]

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

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 :P

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

dom

[16v_kid]

opppps it doest say vw only ahhahah...

sorry/

[Water Boy]

Yeah sorry Golf giving ricers a run for the $$$ is what I ment to say.

Also Winton grid is 96% full so id say thats most of us out.

[Water Boy]

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

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

That's it.

The CAMS website sucks for finding stuff..

Here's where all the license types can be found.
http://cams.com.au/Development/Get%20Involved/Competitors/Licence%20Types.aspx

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

Pete

[Buller_Scott]

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

[Water Boy]

Hope the APR - GTI is all ok: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?07/03/2010.WIN.R4

[Jarred]

had some brake issues. had to go home early :(

[qsilverza]

Well the 80's far from being where I want it, but I have stripped it changed the oil given the coolant a flush, removed the AC and heater box etc !!!

So lets go do some sprints boys !! :) All I really need to do now is brakes/Windscreen/Bonnet Catch/ Fire extinguisher/battery and she'll be dubbin along with 4-rings hahah (I'll be towing her with the Bora that counts right :))

I See NDSOC is having some sprints, now all I need besides the above is a trailer as I'm not paying criminal rates to rent it for a day, can anyone recommend where to get one or where to hire on the cheap ?

ill be trying to make that one :)

[16v_kid]

ill be trying to make that one :)

Same with us. We need a helmet and a few other safety stuff.

What car you thinking about going with?

[WABIT]

his half restored mk1! OBVIOUSLY!..........................

[16v_kid]

doubt were going to make this one. We still haven't found some Sparco's.

But, we will see how we go.

Also, the 1.6 isn't doing any good. engines done 230000km++ without a rebuild.

[Oneofthegreats]

Come on dude.

Thats not a very good excuse!

You fitted a massive cam to a old engine, but you won't hammer it?


230K. Psssssft. Thats a baby engine. It hasn't even lived. haha




for interest sake. I ran my banger engine hard as hell from rebuild till corrosion ate it away with nearly 400K on it & I was still using it everyday. The syd. trip it basically sat on 4000-4200 the entire trip (2000km)

My current turbo'd engine had done in excess of approx 320+K before I fitted the turbo setup & I also drive it it everyday & 600-800+km a week.

I've probably done my km with the turbo setup, than most city people will actually do with there cars period!


But saying that. I also won't track race it, cause I know one lap of a race track & the engine would be toast!

[16v_kid]

My dad is killing the day lights out of the engine. Even ask Jarred when they spotted each other.

When your in the car, you smell on oil when you come out. ahaha

But, dad said if we get the seats we will track it until it dies. So could happen.

Been searching on eBay these few days and had no luck.

LONG LIVE VW ENGINES!

Just filled in the entry form and signed the cheque for the sprints at Sandown on the 9th of May.

See you there.

[Preen59]

I've been contemplating doing a track day or super sprint with the Caddy.. But that is all money i could spend getting my Mk1 on the road and that will hopefully be MUCH more fun! :)

Good to see someone getting out there and having a go, but! :)

[16v_kid]

Just filled in the entry form and signed the cheque for the sprints at Sandown on the 9th of May.

Good stuff Pete,

I hope we find some seats in time.

Dads got the Cam license and everything is ready. Just those bloddy seats. arrrrhh

[Peter Jones]

If it's only a seat you need I'll loan you that one Josh keeps threatening to buy for the day. :)

It's already on a MK1 frame, just slides in. but it's real close to the floor as I'm 6'2".

Pete

[16v_kid]

Dad and I appreciate it very much.

But isn't there a risk of not getting in if you pay on the day, because there is a limit to 96 entries? does it usally end up full at the end of the day?

[16v_kid]

i will pop over for this for a watch, i have my old man over at the mo, i think he will enjoy it

Im deadset excited for this too.


3 mk1's if Josh can get his in time!!!! comon man! get it done.

Edit: Our golf is undergoing a engine transplant this week so we will see how that goes.

I hope the entries arnt full by the 9th cause were going to sign up on the day.

[Jarred]

josh isn't going to make it to the track in his mk 1. it's stripped and waiting for paint...

[16v_kid]

no i'll be tracking sooty instead.... finances permitting

[16v_kid]

no i'll be tracking sooty instead.... finances permitting

Sounds good.

Dads not 100% if he could build the engine in time and put it in, and have at least a couple of days to run it in. But hopefully, everything will go smooth.

I just hope the entry's don't full by the actual day.

[16v_kid]

Looks like were not going to be able to finish the car and motor in time for Sandown.

More of a practice session for me today.

Pete

[Preen59]

Way to go, Pete. Good luck. :)

[16v_kid]

Was a great sunny day today. Car went good Pete.

[Peter Jones]

Great day. Best time ever for Sandown, a 1:38. The brakes and the shocks made up for the lack of LSD. Need to to put it all together for next time.

More updates (and video) to follow in the 'wreck to race" thread after I've unpacked everything.

Thanks to everyone that came and said hello (Despite the overzealous security guard on the gate today).

Should have come and said hi :) There's results, commentary & video coming on line in my "wreck to race" thread. Link in sig below.

Which session was your mate running in?

[SIX-TEN's GOLF]

Yeah I know but you probably would have been, who in earth is this random lol, will come say hi for sure next time.

He was in group 2 and he went out on sessions 1,2,3 and then packed up coz it started raining in session 4, he hasn't raced in 5 years so his lines and braking points were all over the place thus he didn't wanna risk it, but managed to get a 1:55 lap in session 2. He's was the bright green RX3 with the big flares, bob tail and 14" globes.....

I'm actually building my good old 180B for the track too and about to send my membership form to PIARC, trying to now convince my older brother to also build a car and hit the track together.

[Peter Jones]

No fear there, at least you'd be a random with a Golf :) Don't be shy, these events are all pretty sociable and there's a lot to be learnt from speaking with the racers and crews.

I'm always having people coming over for a look at the Golf.

Yeah will do, I want to gather some tips and ideas on setting up my car, and how to get into sprints and hill clibs.

Hopefully will be out there some time next year.

bike stopped that.... because you can do track days without a CAMS licence :P

[Driven Threads]

So just wondering if anyone is considering in going to/participating in the Portland VW drag racing meet. I have never done this sought of thing before and I am thinking of entering next year. It would be great if there was some others in the same boat. You do not need a cams license to enter. Drag racing is controlled by ANDRA, and as part of your entry fee you are issued with a weekend licence to race. All you need is helmet and a track worthy car.
