Success at the island : Pedders Proton
Success at the Island
Pedders Racing has fought hard to take out victory in class E of the Australian Manufacturers Championship at Phillip Island this weekend. With tough competition from Maddison Gray and Samantha Bennett in their Toyota Echo, Grant Phillips and Andrew Turpie were forced to work hard to keep ahead of the ladies.
Race 1 was held on Saturday afternoon in wet and difficult conditions which saw the Gray/Bennett team take full advantage of a poor tyre choice from the Pedders Team. Running a full set of medium compound tyres in what turned out to be a very wet track cost Phillips more than 30 seconds after his half of an hour session before handing the car over to Turpie.
“The rear of the car just wanted to overtake the front all of the time, conditions are tough out there and I just don’t know what more I could have done to try and stay in touch with the Toyota” said Phillips as he climbed out of the Bosch/PBR Sponsored car.
The drivers change saw the team’s first tyre changes during a race and they performed extremely well, adding just 7 seconds to the pit stop. With Gray/Bennett stopping at the same time the Pedders team were able to keep in touch with the ladies thanks to Phillips’ efforts coming into pit lane. “I was a long way behind Maddi coming into the pit lane entry but she slowed down well before the control line and I continued at full speed. I couldn’t believe my luck, all of the lost time was made up through the pit stop entry alone and it felt great to hand the car over in that position”, Phillips continued.
Bennett went out and turned the Toyota into a target for the Pedders/Valvoline Team, Turpie had to allow for cold tyres on the rear of the car so the first lap saw the girls lead by more than half of a minute. The change to soft compounds on the rear was a fantastic choice and after the second lap Turpie had taken six seconds out of their lead. Turpie drove like a man on a mission and with just 3 laps remaining in race 1 was able to take the lead in class and taking victory in race 1.
“It was tough work out there this afternoon” said Turpie, “The rain made the track slippery, especially coming down Lukey Heights and Sam made me work for every second to catch her, traffic and a great choice to change tyres all contributed allowing the team to take out race 1”, he continued.
Race 2 on Sunday afternoon saw the team go to battle in cold, windy conditions with just light showers. The Bartercard Sponsored team stayed with the same set up as from race 1 and gave Phillips some additional laps in the warm up session to build his confidence with the new tyre combination.
Phillips took the start of race 2 and was immediately swamped by the competition when a much faster class C car bogged down in their start and closed out Phillips’ option to go around the outside when the car moved across. Taking evasive action Phillips then went about getting in front of the Gray/Bennett entry and then building a lead. Samantha Bennett took the start in the Toyota Echo and never looked like threatening the lead of the Whiteline Flat Out Proton although she was able to claw back some time on several of the laps before the Pit Window opened.
The team took the opportunity to move where the drivers change was to take place, instead of out the front of their garage; they went further down pit lane thanks to one of the Touring Car Masters teams and performed their change away from the pandemonium that was unfolding in front of them. With limited space and too many cars coming in for their compulsory stop at the same time, one of the Pedders Extreme Class A cars was hit in the driver’s door causing significant damage and fortunately no-one was physically hurt.
Turpie took the drive from Phillips and maintained the lead they had over the Toyota Echo. Staying out of trouble and keeping the car on the track, Turpie was able to ensure victory in race 2 as well as taking the victory for the weekend in class E.
With fantastic racing and a massive team effort Pedders Racing can now take just over two months to prepare for their next racing at Queensland Raceway in Ipswich where our main competition will also be racing thanks to some negotiations between both the Pedders/Reliance Petroleum Team and the Gray/Bennett Toyota Echo team.
“We have had a great weekend racing with Sam and Maddi”, said Phillips “So it made sense to talk to their management and offer some support by taking their car and equipment in our transporter and helping to reduce some of the financial burden on them” he continued.
The team is excited about the night race at QR; it is going to be an amazing spectacle for the spectators, the teams and the drivers. The Shannon’s Nationals Series will be at Queensland Raceway from August 10 to 12 with the highlight of the weekend being the AMC night race on Saturday the 11th commencing at 6.30pm.
Pedders Proton Team !
PEDDERS/VALVOLINE PROTON MAKES IT 4 FROM 4
26 September 2011
Round 4 of the Australian Manufacturers Championship was held in the heart of Melbourne at Sandown Raceway over 2 days of non-stop action. Leg 1 of the Dial Before You Dig AMC 500 was held on Saturday with Grant Phillips taking the start line to try and make up for a missed opportunity with Pole position going to the Gray/Jarvis Suzuki Swift.
Phillips took it straight to the Swifts from the moment the lights went out with the first 8 laps described as "the best racing I have ever done" For 27 laps Phillips battled hard to take the lead in class before working on his next target, the class D car of McGill/Brunsden. The Phillips session wasn't without its own special moments when for some reason the exhaust blew itself apart causing auditory distress for the driver and making it difficult to communicate with the pit crew.
The first Safety Car saw Phillips pit and Andrew Turpie taking the wheel for the remaining laps. It was almost smooth sailing for Turpie, with laps being set at consistent times he was able to capitalise on position and bring the team home in a comfortable 2 lap lead from the first of the Swifts. With cars catching fire and others hitting the wall or losing wheels, Turpie was very much in the thick of things. Sunday saw Leg 2 shortened by 20 laps due to a couple of really big accidents, including a Porsche into the wall at Turn 8, then when the Swift Series cars came out, one ended up into the wall opposite at Turn 8 then on its roof.
Phillips took the wheel for the start of leg 2 in position 13 and after a fantastic start he set about trying to put some distance between the Proton and the Swifts, however it all came unstuck when at the end of the first lap, a dead Evo 9 caused a Safety Car which saw most teams complete their compulsory pit stop, a task that did not apply to class E cars. Phillips missed the instruction to stay out and entered pit lane following the rest of the field when the Swifts jumped on the opportunity to gain position and tried to get a lap back. Realising his mistake Phillips was on a mission to get past the two Suzuki Swifts. After rounding them up and putting some distance on the Swifts while completing a blistering fastest lap of 1.33:5252, Phillips came in for the driver change with Daryl Martin.
Straight away there was trouble with the Valvoline sponsored Proton, the driver change caused an issue with the radio squelch meaning there was no communication between the driver and pit crew. Martin set about putting some good times down and taking the Pedders Team to victory and some more distance between the Proton and the Swifts. Then the opportunity to take on the Celica of McGill/Brunsden saw the two cars in a great display of racing around the unique Sandown Raceway. Martin said, "I was having the best time racing with Matt McGill" and "there was a bit of bumper to bumper action with Matt's Celica a lot slower in the corners than the Proton, there was one time in turn 10 though where I rubbed a bit harder than I was expecting and I'm sure Matt was a bit surprised by it too because next lap I got past him without too much difficulty." continued Martin.
After setting what is believed to be the fastest lap (1:32.2406) by a Proton Satria GTi at Sandown Raceway on lap 100, Martin continued on his fast pace until he came unstuck 4 laps later after letting one of the much faster Mitsubishi Evo's through heading in to turn 7 it braked heavier than Martin was expecting which kept him wide on the dirty line. This resulted in a brake lockup and the car understeering straight into the sand trap at turn 9. Angry with his own error, Martin vented some frustration on the steering wheel before composing himself and getting back on the track. Unfortunately there also seemed to be a clutch problem that got worse as the laps continued, with the final 6 laps being run with no clutch at all. Keeping fingers crossed, Martin managed to bring the Pedders Racing Proton home for a chequered victory in class E continuing their unbeaten run.
With only the Eastern Creek 8 hour Endurance round to come on December 9th to the 11th, the team is faced with some repairs before making the trip north and hopefully securing a clean sweep of class E in the Australian Manufacturers Championship and the Australian Endurance Championship. Grant Phillips currently holds a commanding lead in the Drivers’ Championship in class E with 482 points, second place is tied between Andrew Turpie and Daryl Martin on 240 points while 3rd place is held by Maddison Gray on 182 points.

Pedder and Tierney ready for rally assault!
Pedders Suspension Rally Team’s Mark Pedder and co-driver Lee Tierney are ready for an all-out assault on the 2011 Bosch Australian Rally Championship. The crew finished a superb equal second in the 2010 championship thanks to a consistent run in their Race Torque prepared Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX but Pedder says 2011 is the year to chase the title that has eluded his team for over a decade.
“The 2011 Bosch Australian Rally Championship is wide open this year and after a learning year last year (Pedder’s first year of full competition since 2004) I think we can push for event wins and with some luck on our side, championship victory.” Said Pedder
Pedders Rally Team have been long term supporters of the Australian Rally Championship running teams since the 80’s for Hugh Bell and Dinta Officer and winning the championship with Barry Lowe (1985) and Ed Ordynski (1990). Since 2001 the striking Pedders Lancers have been a feature of the series with Mark and younger brother Scott piloting the team’s campaign. Following a career ending accident in South Australia last year Scott Pedder has now focused his energies as CEO of the Australian Rally Championship.
“This year we will be carrying Scott’s number 7 on the door from last year – after so many years at the top of his game it would be great to take a Pedders car to the top step of the podium this year.” said Pedder.
Since the introduction of the new Unrestricted ARC Cars the Pedders Rally Team and Race Torque Engineering in Perth has been busily upgrading Mark’s car in readiness for the official ARC launch on April 6 in Melbourne before round one, the Quit Forest Rally in WA from April 15-17.
“I haven’t driven the car in the new trim yet but I can’t wait. With a considerable gain in power I think the cars will be exciting but probably easy to drive. I think the sport needed to evolve and I think the new ARC cars will certainly provide the spectacle that is needed to take our sport to the next level,” said Pedder.
The re-introduction of the Pedders Rally Team in 2010 saw the familiar Black and Yellow livery however in 2011 the team have adopted a fresh new look.
“Last year was the 60th year of Pedders so we decided the retro Black and Yellow was fitting given this celebration. This year we have decided on a more corporately consistent look utilising our Black, White and Red branding in a similar style to the Pedders Safety and Course cars that head the V8 Supercars field.”

Fastest Mustang at Gingerman Race Track
Saleen and Pedders formed a partnership in 2009 to build the best handling Mustangs on the planet. We started with Saleen coilovers and introduced them at SEMA 2009 along with the all new S281. That was just the beginning. Since then we have addressed every element of the suspension including wheels, tires and brakes. The result is an amazingly fast Saleen that out braked and out accelerated the Pedders Camaro in the Supercar Shoot Out covered by Hot Rod Magazine coming out October 19, 2010. Every time we test. Every time we hit the track, we collect more data and make more refinements to our products so we'll be faster the next time out. We will detail the Saleen S281 Track Car Build on our websites and show you exactly how to do it yourself. Does that matter to you as a Mustang owner? Only if you think that two companies who are never going to be satisfied, who will never stop refining their products are you best choice for your Mustang suspension modifications.

Pedders Comfort Gas on Camry ACV 40
Just installed it on my camry, the effects was great, cornering become much stable and not losing lot's of comfort. That's exactly what im looking for.
From person experience from myself, camry OEM absorber are way too soft , cornering become very unstable and feels like sitting on a boat when driving at highways.
So i decided to change to comfort gas absorber and it really improves alot without losing comfort !

Disc Brake Thermal Stability
Thermal Stability Profiling
DBA’s 4000 and 5000 series brake rotors can handle extreme applications thanks to Thermo Stability Profiling or TSP. This unique process provides greater thermal stability than standard street discs. TSP enhances the microstructure of the disc rotor for performance applications.
Greater thermal stability allows your discs to take more heat, making them more stable under heavy braking for longer. TSP also means improved brake pad and disc rotor life, and delayed brake fade.
Greater thermal stability allows your discs to take more heat, making them more stable under heavy braking for longer. TSP also means improved brake pad and disc rotor life, and delayed brake fade.
Disc Brake's Ingredient
The Ingredients of a Performance Disc Brake Rotor
DBA’s Kangaroo Paw delivers significantly improved braking performance under all conditions to make you safer than ever before. The innovative Kangaroo Paw design runs cooler, is stronger, and outperforms traditional straight vane disc
brake rotors.
Every time the brakes are used massive pressure is built up through the braking system. The force your foot applies at the brake pedal is multiplied many times at the disc rotors, creating friction and extreme heat.
The extreme heat can cause disc rotors to warp, distort and in some cases fail. Traditionally, heat is removed as air flows through the rotor passing between straight ‘cooling vanes’. However, the straight vane design does not provide the ideal conditions for heat to be dissipated and tends to allow an unwanted ballooning effect. Kangaroo Paw disc rotors will quickly remove the heat, cool the discs, and return to optimal operating temperatures ready for the next braking application – without this ballooning.
The Kangaroo Paw features 144 precisely positioned diamond and tear-drop pillars. The pillars create greater strength, reliability, and a more efficient cooling system. Greater surface area means more rapid heat dissipation. Cool air flows in from the centre of the disc, while hot air is forced to the outside of the disc - regardless of rotational direction. The pillars provide greater strength across the disc rotor and reduce the tendency for disc distortion. More efficient cooling improves brake pad and disc rotor life, and helps reduce brake fade. That’s why the Kangaroo Paw system is so effective.

Rigged inflatable polyurethane air bags are fitted inside the vehicles existing coils springs or for vehicles with leaf springs, are supplied with an auxiliary holding coil which is fitted between the leaf spring and the chassis.
By inflating the air bags within the springs, you adjust the spring rate and ride height of the vehicle. Air Springs improve load carrying ability, compensate for minor rear sag, general instability and loss of steering control associated with heavy towing loads and restrict bottoming out caused by heavy loads or rough terrain. Air Spring lift kits or Air Bag Lift Kits also increase shock life, improve braking and reduce body roll.
NOTE: In order to maximise the performance and handling of vehicles modified for load carrying or towing purposes, it is essential to perform a comprehensive wheel alignment while the vehicle is carrying a typical load that the motor vehicle will be used for.
Pedders Suspension recommend replacement springs be installed where springs are sagged more than 10mm. Fitting auxiliary air springs or air bags to compensate for majorly sagged coil or leaf springs will result in a harsh ride.

Urethane Suspension Bushes
Suspension Bushes
Bushes Information
Pedders have spent many years developing a comprehensive range of bushes for all applications each designed to allow flexibility of movement of the entire suspension while maintaining correct mounting and alignment of individual parts. To perform its intended role, a bush must be able to compress, but to a precise degree, and then return to its original position. If a bush is too hard, too soft, or damaged in any way, the ride, handling and safety of a vehicle is compromised.
Bushes are made from a number of different materials including rubber and polyurethane. By upgrading the original bushes to superior Pedders products which are designed for specific use, a vehicle's general handling and its ability to perform in certain conditions can be dramatically improved.
Pedders Urethane Bushes
Pedders Urethane bushes have a high capacity to bear tension, compression and friction and retain their hardness, even under the most adverse conditions. Features of urethane bushes:
- Excellent for heavy load carrying
- Firm suspension control
- Resistant to corrosive material
- Solves wheel alignment problems, particularly for most front-wheel drive vehicles where they do not have provision for wheel alignment correction.
- In driving terms, this means better road holding, increased tyre life, more responsive steering and a longer service life of suspension components with minimal affect on NVH (noise, vibration, harshness).
Other features of Pedders Urethane Bushes are:
- Hardened crush tubes - longer life and eliminates slippage
- Double helix - maintains axial location while allowing full rotation of the pivot. It also acts as a grease reservoir that further increases product life
- Knurling - for extra protection against adverse wear in heavily laden bushings
- Bullet Grooves - provides the correct pre-load while at the same time accommodating a wide variance in sizes and maintaining free pivoting of the bushing

Trak Ryder Foam Cells Shock
Trak Ryder 9500 Series
Foam cell technology virtually eliminates shock fades
Ideal for heavy duty off-road driving
Available on the TrakRyder 9500 series, these foam cell based shock absorbers are revolutionary in providing excellent comfort and control for harsh off road conditions. In gas based shock absorbers, harsh terrain conditions would cause excessive stroking of the absorbers. Rigorous stroking causes the shock absorber oil and gas to mix, leading conditions known as foaming and bubbling. Unlike oil, gases are highly compressible and an oil-gas mixture is unpredictable. This leads to uneven absorber performance known as shock fades.
TrakRyder 9500 series uses foam cells to prevent such conditions, virtually eliminating shock fade. In addition, since the oil has direct contact with the outer cylinder, thermal conduction is improved and the shock absorber will run much cooler and last longer than normal shock absorbers.
TrakRyder 9500 series shocks have a huge 41 mm bore that further minimises fade and also allows more precise valve settings for unrivalled performance without compromising comfort. When integrated with TrakRyder springs, Pedders TrakRyder shock absorbers form an integrated tuned package for a great driving experience in the widest range of driving conditions.

The Unique Velocity Responsive Damping System
Pedders Comfort Gas Shock Absorbers with Velocity Responsive Damping (VRD).
The unique VRD system is ideal for people seeking higher levels of performance either to improve aspects of their older vehicles or match the race-bred technology of newer cars.
The unique VRD system is ideal for people seeking higher levels of performance either to improve aspects of their older vehicles or match the race-bred technology of newer cars.
The secret to Pedders™ evolution VRD is a unique, micro orifice (very small passage) located in the shock absorber piston, through which oil flow is controlled.
The passage is extremely narrow and tooled in a special way so that oil flows freely at low shock speeds but is resisted at higher speeds when oil flow velocity increases (as encountered in rough driving conditions or through frequent changes of direction or acceleration).
The Benefits of VRD:- VRD shocks achieve a progressive, responsive damping rate and offer a variety of benefits compared to conventional shocks:
- Unique nature of the oil flow - provides a progressive shock response rate throughout the full range of shock travel
- Unique micro orifice - removed the need for an extra valve or diaphragm. This means there are fewer moving parts, hence longer service life.
- VRD shock operates at all speeds - from very slow to very high
How the VRD System works
Under normal driving conditions, the flow of oil through the micro orifice is continuous. But when the speed of the shock increases, oil is forced through the passage at a faster rate, i.e. a greater volume per second. Under these conditions, the layer of oil closest to the orifice's surface is relatively "sticky" and moving slowly while the inner layers flow more quickly. This is due to the laminar, or layered nature of the oil flow.
Therefore, at low shock speeds, the layers flow in a normal manner. But as shock speed, and hence oil flow increases, so does the resistance to the flow, to a point where no matter how much more pressure is applied, flow is constant.
