Oh No Look What I Did To My Echo's


Recommended Posts

I'm glad Adam didn't smash the echo. It seems he is getting plenty of time in other peoples cars at the moment!!

coz he's a girlie man that won't drive his own car... even though its a fortress on wheels :P

Nice work Adam... and driver dynamics crew.

Adam isn't driving in either of those first two shots

The first one is one of my instructors Lawrence who holds about 15 world records, the second one is me.

Here's a pic of Adam jumping :D, and of my missus doing her first ever handbrake turn :D

Do you guys change the suspension in those cars you use in training, or are they as they come from the shop?

And what records do you guys hold?

Coooool.. I want a shot!

Yup that's Adam. I can see his handbag.

Yep thats me all right my hand bag was safely stowed in the over head compartment until I had landed safely. haha

Thanks once again kev for teaching me how to jump. Cant wait to see how the promo vid comes up.

I highly recomend you guys give it a go. Was such a rush and very safe. Although i did freak out a bit when Laurence and i did a tandem jump noes to tail. I was trailing and i couldnt see the jump just the back of his car then woosh i was airborn hehe. Cant wait to do it again.

Pity about Scotty Kev, was a very enthusiastic guy.

I used to do something similar in Brisbane when i was rallying. Had a railway line crossing on top of almost the same profile but wider, so I'd hit it at 80kmh and just gently touch down on the other side. Of course you can't go past balancing a Leopard tank on a knife edge for sublime, except maybe crossing a donga that's too wide flat out with just throttle control to rock the tank so you transition from one side to the other without hurting yourself and the 42 tons of steel, stuff it and you nose in....hard.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
