  1. Really? Damnit I already have something on that date. Sorry!
  2. Not really, I don't think.
  3. Faark mate that sucks! Not having much luck with that car aye?
  4. Spotted Cadman in the SS yesterday arvo near samford
  5. I heard it stop... I doubt they have anything worth flogging
  6. I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you there. They made it stop, so obviously they could do something.
  7. The gentle hum of an A/C unit has never been an impediment to my sleep before, so that would be far preferable. P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PETE!!!!! Get f*cked. P.S. You need to get some of this: http://www.iflscience.com/space/space-whisky-return-earth Tempting, so tempting. They appeared to be not home/on holiday. No cars there and a big collection of junk mail. Got jack of it eventually and called the cops. They said they couldn't do anything unless the shed was actually being broken into, but then she could hear it over the phone and decided to send a car round. They made it stop somehow
  8. f*cking alarm or something on my neighbours shed has been going off all night. Sounds like a truck reversing. No sleep for me :(
  9. I maybe intend on coming... does that help?
  10. You forgot Russia's "No it wasn't us! It was... um... those guys! Not us, really!"
  11. Morning all. WWIII hey. Damnit, I was hoping for zombies. But I guess any apocalypse is better than no apocalypse
  12. Doesn't it have RWD mode? Either way - offroad skids
  13. Exciting . Skids! Need to book mine in for the first service soon.
  14. This is basically the result of an unfortunate incident a year or two ago which resulted in a member writing off their GT-R at lakeside. It was the first time they had ever driven their car in any situation other than on the street, they lost it and were unable to catch it, and went into the wall. NO ONE wants a repeat of that, so this rule was brought in to help minimise the risk. It's not about the fact that QR is flat and lakeside has hills, it's more about the amount of run off area (and also the width of the track / proximity to other cars). If you have an off at lakeside, there's about a 95% chance that it's going to end in a bent car. At QR, theres about a 95% chance you'll have brown trousers but otherwise be OK. That's the difference. Of course, if people drive happy laps at an appropriate pace (ie, no where near the limit of the car) it wouldn't be an issue. But for first time / inexeperienced drivers sometimes the fact they are on a race track gets the better of them and the red mist comes down. And some people are just d*ckheads. So, the "QR first" rule acheives 2 things: 1) It allows inexeperienced drivers to get a tast of a race track / happy laps in a lower risk environment than lakeside. 2) It allows the exec to observe these drivers and make sure the ones that drive like knobs don't come back. Allowances can be made if one/some of the exec know that you are an experienced driver and not a d*ckhead, but they're not going to just take your word for it. The club runs plenty of QR happy laps so it's not really a big issue to get yourself to one of them first.
  15. This guy, he knows.
  16. You and your eFlex...
  17. narrow band sensors have a kind of "S" voltage curve though Pete. So the're only really good at knowing if it is 'too rich' 'too lean' or 'good' based on good being 14.7:1. If good for e85 is a different ratio, they're not going to be very useful. Edit: Just did some quick research, e85 stoich is closer to 9:1. narrowband o2 sensors going to be quite useless.
  18. I used half a tank and I thought that was bad...
  19. Almost didn't stay up for the race last night. Glad I did , but boy am I going to pay for it today. Struggle street... :S
  20. No worries. Thanks for the zip tie! Great Day! Thanks everyone, especially Connie's Bitch, Connie, and Phil for organising/cooking/transport/etc. Leopard did surprisingly well in the twisties . Not so great at accellerating/braking but pretty good overall. I have to put new brake pads in now though
  21. Picked it up yet?
  22. pussy
  23. I recommend Fat Pipes at Kallangur If you still have your Kaki system they can probably modify it to clear the driveshaft
  24. Ahh yeah well if the total is nudging just over the HECS threshold then that would do it. In which case Chants, try and get deductions etc. to get it down under the threshold! Might be worth talking to Mr. Ants to see what magic he can work. Or one of Pony's dodgy accounting mates.
