FTO AUSTRALIA

Good stuff Shane. Was good seeing you fly the FTO flag. I was wondering why you didnt even make the warm up lap yesterday lol. Man you had some quick cars in the production sports category though. You should try regularity next year. A 2.46ish lap time today though according to my phone!!!!?

Regularity, you're kidding aren't u? I'm a racer mate No comparison!

So how did it all go Shane?
Did you end up getting good times?

WOOOOOHOOOOO, what an awesome weekend! 2:45 with only 4 gears!! I LOVE BATHURST

Please can we run again tomorrow!!

But seriously, this place fully rocks! 1 hour around Bathurst is just brilliant!

And tonight I'm sitting around an awsome campfire sucking down JD's on Mountain Straight, absolute paradise I reckon!! Doesn't get much better than this!

Did I mention 2:45 with only 4 gears! Man we punched above our weigth this weekend! The FTO Fully rocks! The poor engine though, every lap 8200rpm for almost the full length of Conrod Staight! But she didn't miss a beat! And across the top, from the Cutting to "$kyline", flat baby, all the way! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Did I mention I absolutely LOVE BATHURST! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

2:45 with only 4 gears! sh*t yeah Had I had 5th gear I would easily have been in the low 2:40's, possibly high 2:30's. Also because we had no idea how much fuel I would need I filled the tank, and ended up with half a tank at the end, so this probably cost me at least a second a lap also. So I reckon had we had 5th gear and the correct fuel load we would have been in the high 2:30's and possibly competing for a class win! And that's without a tune on the eManage. I ran today and yesterday with stock injectors and no tune modifications. So yeah pretty happy with the laptimes

Oh and I haven't had a real good look yet, but the Repco $90 rotors appear to have held up very well

That's great stuff Shane
Well done .

Well Done. What on your program next up.

Were you happy with the electic water pump.It was a fair test for it over the week end.

That is a good question ^^^^^^
Feed back time .

Next event is Eastern Creek last weekend of May, already sent my entry in

Then I'll probably focus on some development and save up for Philip Island in November.

Yep, EWP works fine, no idea about performance benefits though, but it definitely felt more responsive in the upper revs at Wakefield a few weeks ago when I first tested it.

PS: Did anyone actually make it up for the weekend? Storm Hawk? Lawso?

I didn't see anyone I recognised, but then I was pretty busy on Friday and Saturday with the car, just hope I didn't snob anyone
