Hey all,

Some bad news this week on the Texi's for this year. This is out of our hands so please understand we couldnt do anything to help it.

Feb Texi is cancelled due to a mix up of bookings by the venue. Here's a condensed version of what happened; I made our bookings last year for 4 rounds of Texi this year. The venue took those bookings in advance but were going to call if there was a problem. The person who does the bookings then has had some kind of miscommunication within their organisation and we only actually got 2 of the 4 bookings I wanted and 2 of the dates I wanted went to other large companies who use the venue aswel as us who would have a MUCH longer relationship with the venue than we have. This wasnt communicated to me until this week, ive been away and the booking person (who is a deadset legend, honestly) is now on 7 months of long service leave.

Ive managed to get us 1 extra booking, taking the total Texi's for 2011 to 3.

So, firstly, to all the entrants (i believe the list hasnt been updated), you can be entered in the next Texi straightaway or have a refund.

Secondly, to anyone sitting on the sidelines - get off your ass and get involved in these days, no one can whinge about not enough events when we put them on and you dont enter. Pretty damn simple. I promise they're a fun day out

Texi dates for 2011 have been updated in the 2011 thread which is found HERE (CLICK HERE)and are also below;

June 12

September 3rd

November 13th

The $30 entry deal is still valid of course.

Remember, the exec team work hours and hours behind the scenes to make the club happen, sometimes things happen outside our control so please understand we have done our best here.

Cheers

This makes Cassbo a sad panda :(

Will have to compensate by entering moar track days!

I still don't understand why people own what are by definition sports cars, and not attend events in them. :dry:

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
