    So it looks like Hampton Downs have changed the date listed on their website.

    http://www.hamptondowns.com/pages/56/Event%20Calendar

    So at the moment (unless they decide to change it again) they've moved the listed date from

    Saturday 19th of February, back one day to Friday 18th of February.

    Great for anyone who is unemployed, not so good for people who work..............

    Really handy for me as I've booked and paid for flights back to Auckland for that weekend :(

    I'm thinking that the Open Day on Saturday 12th March looks like the one I'll be aiming for (again, provided they don't start making a habit of changing the listed dates)

    Rightio lads,

    Small update, slowly working towards fixing the over oiling issues.

    New oil catch can is done, holds a lightweight odyssey battery which is new also.

    The can has a sight glass on the side and a small tap on the bottom to drain the oil (which we'll eventually remove the tap and run a return feed straight to the sump so it will just gravity drain.

    We're not quite at the removing the engine stage yet so we can't access the sump to weld return oil feeds from the catch can and the breather plug on the back of the block.

    We may just tap into the oil feed return line from the turbo to self drain the oil catch can for now.

    In the pipeline is

    - Cam baffles

    - Oil restrictors

    - Drain on the back of the head http://www.spoolimports.com/content/SPOOLR...OilDrainKit.asp

    Josh's Wilwood stuff is far better than the E36 M3 brakes ever were anyhow.

    Not sure why you guys think that he has braking issues if he wants to use ducting, it's another factor that's knocked of the list.

    I'd move the outlet of the ducting to the centre of the disc though Josh, as it looks like it favours the inside of the disc and can lead to problems. (it might have been covered in the posts since, in a hurry and didn't read them all)

    Cheers Darren.

    Some big APs are on the list but not quite within reach yet.

    Oil pressure seems to remain fairly consistent which is a good thing, the sump has been enlarged ~9L and has a Tomei baffle.

    We're aiming to put the oil restrictiors in and also run an oil return off the back of the block. We're also hoping to weld a fitting onto the sump so the catch can can just drain back into the sump at its own free will.

    Bit of an update fellas as to where we currently stand with the car.

    The cage and interior are painted in a mat grey which is the same colour as the factory engine bay

    Had the car out to Hampton Downs 3 times this year (2nd, 7th and 12th Jan), brakes are terrible and the new N35s Endless pads seem to been having a good go at the stock discs which are starting to crack (see pics)

    Dodgy 3" brake ducting in place (temporary)

    Posted Image

    Brake bias adjuster in place, can be moved about but this seems easily reachable when strapped in

    Posted Image

    Steering wheel in place, we've retained the factory adjustments which is good (up and down, in and out)

    Posted Image

    Drivers and passengers floor mats fixed in place with rivnuts

    Posted Image

    Passengers floor mat, fire extinguisher and window breaker in place

    Posted Image

    Helmet box mounted

    Posted Image

    Door cards are on (temporary as we want some carbon or fibreglass doors) We tried the car with no electric windows but got so hot we had to cut a hole in the door card to poke the switch through

    Ranga Cusco 2L Oil catch can (seems to fill up after about 15km of hard track driving, quite boring to drain all the time)

    3 trackdays old stock brake discs with Endless N35s pads (already starting to craze)
