Barbagallo Raceway Short Track - 19/07/2012 - 59.51seconds


I finally cracked the sub 1min and ran a 59.51 
(15 laps, fastest was the 12th. I beat my 2nd lap by .2seconds)
October 2011 (no changes besides a undertray and harness and confidence) where i ran a 1:01.3 (25 laps on the short track and 6 laps on the long)
September 2011 (New carbotech XP8 & clutch) - 1:03.79 (9 laps, fastest was the 1st lap)
May 2011 (using A1RM) - 1:03.42 (29 laps, fastest was 29th)
April 2011 (A1RM + new street series federals 0kms & waxy) - 1:07.16 (18 laps, fastest was 13th lap)

I wasn't to sure how i would go. Lots of changes to the car. Tires, suspension, camber, rear sway and the new TD04 (running about 160fwkw ~guestimation). Torque band seemed really well suited on the TD04, keeping revs above 3.5k. My brakes completely gave out and i wasn't able to improve my times. Only getting slower. So after three round i left him. I am now aiming for 57z. I wasn't maxing the car.

I'm tempted to try some Project Mu F533 I believe is the model for the Evo twin pots. http://www.project-mu.co.jp/matching/pad/illust/mitsubishi/F533.pdf I like the sound of the RC09 http://www.project-mu.com.au/en/products/pad_rc09.php
The F533 Information:
Wide: 149.8mm 
E33/38/39A, E54/74/84A, EC3A/5A (GALANT) 
CD9A, CE9A, CN9A, CP/CT9A<RS> (LANCER Evo)


At the moment I am using CarboTech CT530-XP8. I guess it will all come down to price and availability as there is only one dealer in Australia for the CarboTech I could find.


New spark plugs for the race. 1 step colder (evo spark plugs IKH22)












Some tire wear. Must fix the guards before i hit the track next time.
