Motoring.com.au's Journalist Mike Sinclair wrote off a Mercedes E63 AMG at a AMG Drive Day a few weeks back. Its worth a read, and there are better photos of the car in the video. He provides a pretty good breakdown of the E63's safety systems as the accident occured. Sadly theres no actual video of the incident, just a walkaround of the car afterwards.

Real Life Motorsport / WRX sandown sprint day 12/04/14
« on: April 15, 2014, 07:17:45 PM »
I did my first track day in the WRX, I recorded the second session on video. First session I did a 1:41, second two session a pair of 1:38's and third session a 1:36, my times were going in the right direction.

My main point of of showing this video is I am amazed at we have at our disposals at club level by using our phones. high speed BT GPS and OBD's to log data. Next I will be getting a OBD to plug into the car which I can Wifi all onboard data to my phone. This will complement the GPS data that you will see in the video.  I made some damper adjustments for the second session adding a lot of stiffness to the rear which settle the car down a bit. I was still 2 seconds off the seasoned drivers in my class being street stock. Classes are determined by a point system depending on mods done to the car.

Anyway there is nothing to exciting about the video, it really is to show you how club racing can be fun with all the available data at your finger tips.

Cars & Bikes / My new Daily/Track car
« on: February 17, 2014, 09:26:07 PM »
I have been thinking about this for awhile trying to find a car that I can drive to the track, take the spare wheel out and do some track work and then drive it home again. A car that can do both, be my daily and my track car. At the moment there is the hassle of car trailers (hire of) and reliability, not knowing if a problem will pop up or not on the track day, is hard to predict when they sit for so long in between events and having three kids, it is hard to find proper time and the money do have such a luxury as a track car. Also I have two cars to look after, ensure they are maintained and getting love, having one would be easier and makes more sense.

So the search began for a car that ticked a few boxes, On top of my list was coil overs with adjustable camber and damper. It also needed to hold it's own power wise, not back yard built, nothing stupid but good honest power from the factory and I didn't want something to heavy either and all this for as cheap as possible. I started talking to my Dad about this and he got talking about someone else that is changing from his normal class of racing to a new class. WRX series GC8's. Not my favorite car but performance wise they ticked all the boxes, but I just couldn't bring myself to something that was so bland, There were just so many of them around in the 90's and now, they aren't old enough to be classic and still look so boring to me. I'm sure one day they will  be admired for what they are, in shows etc but right now they are in the r32, r33 and r34 plus the 90's evo class.

So what could be left that could meet my needs and have a small cult following.....

An 01 WRX, cheap because of there ugly face, yes this is me  :D :D :D

BC fully adjustable coil overs.......... tick
Power............... tick
Light weight............ Almost a tick at 1390
Cheap.......... tick
No WRX blue........ Big tick

I picked it up on the day I looked at it, purchased off a mechanic who happily put the car on the hoist for me and pulled off all the inspection covers. I thought where else can someone do this before buying a car... Mechanical the car is sound with full service history and the only mods been done in the last 3 months were brand new BC coil overs and cat back exhaust, costing 3K. So this was pretty much what I had been looking for, a WRX that hasn't been thrashed. After a few words with my wife, we decided yes. The mechanic RWC the car while we went and had lunch in the city. Picked it up and drove home. Couldn't believe I was driving home in this car.

The paint on the other hand was... well like sandpaper..... it was contaminated with tree sap and dirt and all sorts of shit. After four times washing the car, and then clay block with a good wax after, the paint looks and feels like new. People have actually commented on it how good it looks. Anyway here she is....





13 of April I will try and get a run in at Sandown, but I'm hoping something before then with the Alfa club at P.I. All in all I'm happy and so is my wife (less cars)  ;)

Racing general / Historx and GSC 2013
« on: January 20, 2014, 08:43:11 PM »
Hi guys,

Bruce and I have decided to let the server go and with it, any chance of some Thursday night racing, I will take this opportunity to thank Bruce for trying to keep things going here at XGN by providing and running a server for us to play on, also in trying to get a few different types of games going, but the reality of it is, we are kicking a dead horse. This isn't to much about announcing the shut down of the server but more about thanking Bruce for all his efforts in trying to get something going again here at XGN.

So cheers mate, here's to you  ;)
