2008 NSW Dutton Rally Prep
As you all know Jak & I did the 2007 NSW Round of the Dutton Rally in my Oval. The deal we had was that we'd back up the following year in Jak's
car. The VWRX Superbug.
We've got until November to get the car sorted.
The main mods are upgrading the front brakes and tuning the chassis to the new Yokohama R-spec tyres.
The biggest challenge is me getting used to double the horsepower.
This vid is from the weekend.

Man they are some massive brakes. We ran those same front calipers on the front of a perkins V8 commodore rally car and they worked spot on on a
1500kg heap of metal so I could only imagine what they would be like on a car 500 and somthing kg's lighter. Interested to see how those brakes go.
What type of rear brakes are you running? BTW 200ph and 200 footpound of torque are some fine figures..

jeez, that's nuts! 
But seriously, I think I'd try and stretch the budget to an LSD of some sort. Otherwise the tight stuff is going to consist of a purple beetle
masquerading as a fog machine. Funny for spectators, but very frustrating for the driver.

EasternCreek Supersprint 18th May
Jak got his car down into the 1:57s yesterday at Eastern Creek. That's 2 seconds faster thanks to the new Yokohama ADVAN R-spec tyres. That's 3
seconds faster than we went in my Oval which would put us up quite a few positions in the NSW Dutton.

No. The big front brakes aren't on yet. Still just the rally-car rear bias!
The tyres are getting hot. We saw the rears in the 70 to 80 degree territory which is perfect.
The fronts were 50 degrees plus but should get into the 60s where they need to be with the addition of the GTR brakes.
The tyres are just 205/50R16s so it's not over-tyred.
With my car out of action with another broken front oil cooler it was good to help set up the pressures in the new rubber.

Dutton Last Year
Here's a bit of new footage. It's of Jak driving my car on the skid pan at Eastern Creek. It was the last day so the confidence was up and the
nerves had subsided. I don't drive my car that hard!

have you done any corner weight tests to see if you can move some weight forward to aid tyre temps in the front?

RE
Corner weights!
Do you know how long it took me to convince Jak to get a proper 4 wheel alignment?
When Jak starts pushing the limits of these tyres we'll see if the car is tending to oversteer or understeer and then work on improving it with the
current variables;
Ride height at each end,
Rear swaybar choice &
Wheel alignment.
If we need more turn-in some weight might be a good idea.
My car is almost 40/60 which is close to the good porsches apparently. It would be interesting to see what Jak's is since the engine and gearbox has
been moved forward and there is a radiator in the front!
The black wheels certainly give the car a menacing look. I like it too.
