Just remember you can do the Top Gear big weekend which is Saturday practice, Saturday arvo sprints and the racing on Sunday.
I think you get a discount if you do all of them.
Jeff you may want to confirm this.
Cheers Paul

I will definitely have one car ready,
I have a lot of the gear here ready to fit to the excel,but time is a killer at the moment.

Yeah its cheaper to enter the 3 events for the weekend on one entry than enter the 3 of them separately ($320, late entries not accepted).
Circuit Racing entry is $200 if you get in early or $240 late

What date is the cut off for the big weekend, can I pay and decide later what car I'm going to run.

1 week before, so entry form in on the 15th. swapping cars shouldn't be a problem, class will be the same QR sedans.

I think it's 6 half cages and 2 full cages for the excel guys, and add one more for my little excel that I'll do next week.

Beannie
Post #1017

paul, are you making cages for the excels? (sorry if i didnt see a previous post)
can you pm me some prices?? :o because i want to keep the car road rego'd - i think 6point are illegal on the road? (correct me if im wrong?)
so i'd be interested in something like a 4point fixed or bolt in, but also can bolt up to 6point (if thats legal for road and for the circuit racing series)...

i received my camber bolts today, fitted them to top strut bolt, also elongated the top bolt hole to acheive some more camber (dunno if this is ideal or not), and left bottom bolt as standard. adjusted the toe in as it was pretty bad and all done! i think i have about 3-3.5deg neg camber. took it for a drive - makes a noticeable difference :o

looks good - but still have stock springs in it :D might have to look at this issue too

Post #1019

With camber bolts top and bottom I have about 4.6

Post #1020

Camber will help cornering heaps.
I also have caster kits (bushes) available as well now.

Beannie
Post #1021

just out of curiosity, will lowering the car make more neg camber with the suspension setups excels use? i would assume it would.. by a little bit yeah?

NISMOgemini
Post #1022

on the front it will.. not sure what kind of rear suspension they have.. if its axel beam then it wont on the rear

100% agree no point in running camber if you dont have the caster as well. I have poly offset bushes already.

New struts should arrive in the next couple of days, so should be good for May, although the outside of the car is still a mess.

I will be running monroe fronts and kyb rears, lovell rear springs and unknown front springs.

Its good to see a few guys getting the handling side of things sorted.
The softer tyres have likely been suffering wear issues due to the road setup that a lot of people started with.
We might find that we can make a grippy tyre last a lot longer than they have been.

We're running -2.3º camber (max we could get from single adjustable camber pin) and still killing the shoulders on our tyres.

Here's a pic from Lakeside last week:

22mm Front swaybars are now available, takes about 2 weeks to get them made.

Post #1028

Sprints are on again Sunday 16th May at Lakeside Raceway.
All you need is a normal road car, long clothes and a helmet.

This is also the day of the Monster Car Show and Muscle Car Sprints
The Excel Series is also running on the 16th, check out the cheapest form of motorsport in the world !
