Well done on the results

There is nothing I don't like about your rig - congrats on a great build.

That's cool to see that your using it on the track like that. Good job with ya lap times too. I really like the look of your Brumby too, very tough.

Cheers Jake

Cheers for the comments folks. Its been a ten year dream thats finally starting to take shape.
The grumpy is still a long way from where I want it, but it has also come a long way from when I bought it

Cheers Chris

Great effort with both the Brumby and the time you acheived. Keep flying the Subie flag

Love that pic in the dark mate! The brumby looks mean.

I bet you had a load of fun! Great result for your second go out there. Driving under lights would have changed things too.

Keep up the good work.

Position doesn't really matter, the other cars vary so greatly. a 66 is an epic time though, congrats.

I once did a 71 on clubman in a 1.8 6spd MX5 before the track was resurfaced (lowered with good tyres - also first time out).

Thanks again Guys

I'm very keen to get some semi-slicks as my 7 year old el-cheapo rubber is now looking very used.
I also want to get a front LSD, as I keep spinning up the inside front

These 2 things should help me drop my times by a few seconds & I'll feel more confident taking the ute to lakeside with better rubber.

Cheers Chris

Ok, for those interested

The Grumpy will be headed to Qld raceway on 17/4 for another night sprint, this will finish my tyres off good & proper....unless anyone wants to donate rubber to my cause, hahaha

Won't be racing (obviously

) but I might see you there, just finished midsem exams and I've been meaning to go

Sorry can't help with tyres or front diff but when you go looking for a diff, have a look at the KAAZ 1.5way. My friend had one in his WRX hatch and worked extremely well.

Can't wait to see next wednesday night results

The Grumpy got some much needed Lurv today & an ECU Datascan

Got a close up of it ? as I can't quite make out the screen ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

chridk · Post by **chridk** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 8:32 am

Sorry Bantum, no closeup's at the moment, I'm viewing 4 values on the screen, Boost, Intake temp, Coolant temp & Knock, just so I know what the engine's up to. I must admit I haven't driven the Grumpy in 4 months so when it comes on song I'm too busy watchin the road.....no time to look at datascan

er, nice, approx cost of data scan ?

Doesn't suffice for the general design of overlays for thresholds and behind from a wheel arch to a bumper.

Google translate has a lot to explain.

Is our Russian member asking about decals / transfers/ stickers on the rear section of the rear mudguards ??

Hey Steptoe, I bought this datascan second hand for $280, they seem to go quick so I jumped on this one.

Cheers
