Colin Chapman coming back to racing would be a greater feat than Jesus coming back from the dead, Colin passed away from a heart attack in December 1982.

I never realised that you could hear me in that video. My experience. This happened over the top of the back straight at Sandown, when the LHR brake pad delaminated, dropping the backing plate and piston out of the caliper, and leaving me very quickly with minimal braking and turning the wrong way into the corner.

Ya don't even need the 6 pack, we'll just sneak it onto the construction works next door and rip it up.

There's some nice dirt roads up my way.

Nice car mate, You need to change your sig though.

They are looking at banning the solid hooks in "contact" type events as the solid ones in a angled side impact tend to dig into the side of the other car and tear it open.

I'm selling my current lap timer as I am upgrading to a full dash with inbuilt timing. It's a Kartronic LT32 unit, this stores 32 times. It comes with the Reciever and IR beacon. $200 I'm in Yarra Glen, Victoria.

A friend of mine that runs in the WRX Club sprints has a Jap spec cage that wouldn't comply with CAMS rules as it has bends in the A pillar uprights to wrap around the dash, doesn't have any problems with scrutineering for those events.

Essentially that rule applies now, with any ROPS system that doesn't meet CAMS/FIA specs being ineligable for use in CAMS events, however, as long as the cage is safe and well made, a scrutineer shouldn't have an issue with it.

Got to give him a chance to say goodbye...

Don't bloody remind me, I hate the grape grazing weekend, as you can't get anywhere and the roads are full of lost, drunk plodders doing 20kph in a 100 zone.

Nope, the CAMS will do Ok.

I have a Subaru track car, while not a Skyline, the principles will hold the same. The things that you should do are; Safety - Put a cage in it, proper race seat and harness Reliability - You don't want to build a car that can't cope with the extra stress involved. Brakes - Get the best that you can afford, improve the brakes before you put extra power into the car Weight - You don't need the interior, rear seats, boot lining etc, strip it out, save weight and gain braking and engine performance. Tyres - R-specs minimum. Suspension - Get coilovers if you can afford them, as well as getting parts that have enough adjustability as you can, so look at things like strut tops, adjustable sway bars, etc. Power - Do this last, aim for the widest torque band that you can as that will help the car more than a "peaky" power curve.

I have a 32 lap timer from Speedwerx, but I'm not sure if they sell them anymore as they are not on their website. Speedwerx Revolution Racegear has a steering wheel that has a built in laptimer that is triggered manually.

Mario Rubalcaba - He isn't on H-Street, but this isn't the H-Street video either. Skating the "love tunnel" H-Street "Bootleg" I bought "back in Black" for that song.

Yep, I'll go with that (or pretty much anything else other than "fight for your right (to party)" from the B Boys. Low Rider by War, it's on the "A Nights Tale" soundtrack, I was also featured in "Video Daze" by Blind Skateboards, the first video that Jason Lee from "My name is Earl" is featured in.

Mate, Brilliant post, good luck in getting the complex up and running.

Black Betty - Spiderbait.

Theres a place just off the Maroondah Highway near the corner of Heatherdale road called Ringwood speedo (iirc) that does this work. Search for guages in the Yellow pages.

Pisser.

As you may gather I am rather happy about this. There would have been more than this but the board wouldn't allow it.

Seb Loeb has done a Montoya and broken his arm falling off of a quad bike. http://rally.racing-live.com/wrc/en/accueil/news1.shtml

Not as fancy, but try Speed Technology on; 03 9873 5400 7 Monomeath Ave Mitchum Victoria For the stickers places like Revolution Racegear, GMP Racing Products, Meridian Motorsports, etc. will have them available for sale.

Lil Blu is in the latest Auto Fiction, mainly for the 05 tribute sticker.
