Custom T Post Heavy Duty Tire Rack

I needed a shelf that was 3.2m long, unfortunately I couldn't find one to buy. I needed the specs to be spot on. So I decided to make one.
I went with my own specs.
 - SHS 65x65x4mm @ 4m
 - RHS 65x35x4mm @ 8m

Cuts were 1.78 for the posts and 3.16 for the rails, .6m for the T section.






So the cuts I did had to be spot on as well, I converted a standard drill into a drill press.  Had to make sure the holes were aligned.
Both cuts and holes were within +/-1mm as I was using M12 in a 13mm hole.






The only issue I had was the angle that I dyna bolted to the ground. The dyna bolts never go in straight, hammer drill bounced around too much.
So I had to use a step drill to open the mounts from 13mm to ~20mm. As the dyna bolts wouldn't line up.

Track Prep - Z27AG Goes to War V

No performance changes this time around, just finishing off long awaiting items.
No oil change or gearbox flush.
I will definitely do a gb flush before next time.



Colt is a pain to brake bleed, hence i use speed bleeders.

I also started compare wheel weights,
235/45/R17 A050 on 17x8.5 CE28N = 15kg
225/45/R17 Z221 on 17x8.5 Rays 57c = 19kg
205/50/R15 R1R on 15x8 Rota Grids = 15kg

This is done back to front, I went on track before posting this.
This is all that was left of the pads from:

Gaving them a huge flogging!
Excellent pads, i still remember the hard bite they gave when brand new.

No Limits - 11/12/2014 - Short 58.58s - Long 1:10.54

Hadn't been out for awhile so hit the track one more time before I try out the big brake kit and a few extra ponies. Pretty impressed with the times, a fraction of my PB.
The last two outings was when the track was damp, so it was good to get a dry track.



With 167hp at the wheels I did a pretty consistent short track time of 58.58s and a long track time of 1:10.54

Videos to come.
