Didn't Canberra used to have a dragway near the airport?

Anyhow, if they are going to open a venue I'd like to see it as a 1/4 mile (not 1/8 please) track than can run any type of drag event.

MMMM Summernats drags :P

The old dragway was next to the airport, but it was an 1/8 mile instead of a 1/4 mile strip.

It's still there, though now it's used for stuff like engineering tests, brake/acceleration/handling etc

Where is it currently planned to be situated and is 8 million enough to build something like WSID.

I'd like to see it just outside the Prison near Jerra :P

Although it'd be cheaper just to have no traffic lights or speed limit down Northbourne

EDIT: Oooops the link above to the newsletter says Mount Majura is the proposed site.

WSID cost closer to $14 mill or 24? one or the other, but didnt the government put $8 mil now, another 8 next budget? surely $16 mil's enough to build something that can be improved upon?

Also, word on the street is that some of the "big boys" have said they'd rather come to canberra then syd

Wakefield isn't to far away for Track work.

To which I could retort with "WSID isn't too far away for a quick drag."

Explain to me why it is a tiny town like Goulburn gets a race track while we don't.....oh wait....we're the city of middle aged Public Servants. Can't have the GMC 400 now can we!

Sorry, I'm tired and cranky.

I agree - Canberra will die bcos of the narrow dull view of Canberrans.

We could host all major Australian events in all categories of sport and be the best city in this country. Instead we have boretown.

The Capital - between Sydney and Melbourne, Snow and Surf where in Australia could you find a better city to host events and draw big crowds.

Farkin Floriade - Wooot!! what a blast!

Because that's what people want.

    • I don't know specifically. I *do* know that it is very likely that historically most/all undertray replacements remove the inner liners and people just run without them. When you are hectic (or serious) enough to really want/need a different undertray, you are probably also running wider, taller or different offset wheels and the guard liners are the first thing that rub (or as I said in the other thread, they blow out at high speeds anyway) Of course, that is before the pricing went nuts on R34s, nowdays it is much more likely people want/expect to retain the liners to protect their overall investment
    • Haven’t had a chance to drive it properly yet. It was rwd and pissing down rain when I drove it home and now it’s in the air with the so I can change the oil. Going to do the  gearbox oil while I’m at it as well, may even do the diffs 
    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
