really? I'm out of touch again. did they change that rule mid-weekend?

lol i was edge of the couch until I heard those illegal team orders

so I was half right webber is 3rd, ricciardo is last on the track. DR has made up 6 spots though

same story at RBR

he definately pulled off. lost a wheel?

I've got no idea what the front guys earn a year....but if i was Webber I'd hang on for as long as I possibly could. Totally different to schmumaker who had the results and the $$$, who should haev stayed retired.

let me guess...his kers isn't working? wrong wing? diffuser is blown?

you don't need a CAMS license for cruises (an RTA one is a good idea though ) feel free to join the club on the day though

webber drops to 5th on the first lap, and fights his way back to 3rd on the podium. ricciardo drives well, makes up 6 spots and finishes his first GP

yeah it's not a tricky job really...but if not confident get someone to do it for you. Either they can rebuild the one in your car, or they can swap it for a pre-rebuilt one. Not sure on an exact cost but it will be a couple of hundred dollars.

yeah it will cost a couple of hundred including remove and refit. personally I'd recommend puting a reconditioned alternator in rather than just a second hand one.....you never know how long another second hand one will last before you need to replace it again.

haha....surely not twice. good to hear it's running. try engine earth quality for the missfire if you re-used known good coils, ignitor and injector resistor

it sounds like an alternator dead (or wiring issue) to me. you are only seeing 10v because the alternator is not working proberly or not working at all, so you are just getting the battery's voltage.

best to talk to Brad (Risking), he builds them good, cheap and CAMS legal

haha good work...been doing that one for years (the ute is also great for it). I understand the parking inspector's frustration, especially with all the 4wds getting around these days...but for once the rules go our way

one a brake line nut is rounded off you are in trouble....you need to cut the pipe, replace the nut and re-flare the brake line...

lol he's probably still got a better chance of winning than Webber!

lol random thread intro. In any case....I was asked for final payment and a delivery address for mine this week.

Sounds good...we'll be along to see if the Cube can make it up the hills

Take it easy and you will be fine - stay away from long jumps through the air The top nuts just hold the shock from falling out at full droop...as long as there is load on the wheel gravity will keep it in place. When you get to repco or wherever, take off another one to check back - there are multiple "thread pitches" even in the same sized nut. If you get the wrong pitch it will go very tight after about a turn.

haha probably! Was enjoying an empty Victoria road....I must drive it at 11pm instead of midnight more often

Well I don't agree with the rules, as I've stated before...but the car in that spec is legal.

OK, everyone but you

Ron (and everyone!) we will discuss alternative dates at the exec meeting tomorrow night and come back to everyone ASAP.

Agreed Bob, and the committee will take up our concerns about communication with WSID. Plenty of hard work from the comittee is wasted, and no doubt lots of competitors will have plans messed up to. No doubt some people are financially impacted by the late cancellation. Unfortunately we have 0 alternatives to deal with on Drag events. And track events aren't that different these days...there are 2 possibilities in NSW and Eastern Creek (also government owned and a "service" to NSW Taxpayers) was over $18k per day to hire. However, our club's members want these events, and we will keep working professionally with the venue operators to deliver them as best we can. We are also actively working on "alternative", non-traditional locations to run our motorkhanas, track days and sprints because of the difficulties in booking and dealing with venues.
