Awww, no! John! What a bugger....Originally Posted by jrobbo
Went to a track day at sandown today in the E34, and made the stupid mistake of selecting second gear while looking for fourth, over-revved the engine and through a rod through the side of the block. I now have a nice assortment of squashed and twisted engine bits sitting on my desk as a souvenir. So I won't be doing any track days for a while now

Is anyone going to Winton for practice on Friday th 9th and supersprint on the 10th? I'm looking forward to meeting some Vic racers.
I'm not sure debating whether to do PI with alfa Romeo or not depending on how car holds out

Yes, it should be a good weekend trip! Looking forward to it!!!
well someone's gotta do it, so i will say that the Sunday at Sandown was pretty good.
BIG turnout for the combined WRX, BMW etc clubs. Would estimate 6x groups of 15- 20+ cars. Made for some busy track time..
Day started off wet and there were a few tears from a few people (WRX into armco, 200sx into armco etc) but as track dried out it was OK I think. Stayed dry too.
I'm quite pleased with the recent additions to car; treehouse racing cabs, new arms, new tierods, new steering rack, new steering uni, oil cooler & A048's etc etc.... car feels very good to drive.
Still a long way to learn how far the A048's can be pushed. I was getting them to about 32psi after a run which i think is just a little below optimal pressure? I was starting about 28psi cold/cool.
Said a quick hi to Gaz, he seemed to be having a good day I think. Saw some old people from times past, good times.
anyone that is a member of BMWCCV (or WRX club or SAU) theere is a drag day at heathcote saturday, details here

I'm looking forward to winton in a few weeks. Yeah sandown was not too bad a bit damp for our 2wd cars but I was happy to run in the low 1.27's. I'm gunna upgrade the sway bars to get the car balance better which will b good for winton
