Im flying over for a few days next weekend, just wondering if anyone can give me a heads up of good viewing spots on various stages?

I've been involved for the past 3 years, know the stage marshalls very well. The starting day is one of the best days to come out at see the cars and watch them thrash the city streets, than theres a few other courses I have been told are good and have delivered. I will post up the stages here but they should be on www.classicadelaide.com.au anyway.

EDIT http://www.classicadelaide.com.au/ca/spectatorguide.htm - GO HERE, what you are looking for no doubt.

No matter what, come to the Prologue, and then the last 2 days for the Adelaide Hill's runs.

Hey Roy..... I was a Official last year in a Course Car, unfortunatly i took my time sorting stuff out this year and wont be one........ BUT this means i will be going to watch it from various points! and as a bonus i have the pace notes and maps of all four days! Very Handy!

If your looking for great spots to watch from, there are HEAPS, just gotta know when they start coming thru and and when the roads close off.

I assume you have been to thier website??

But be sure to go to the Street Party on Friday night in the city on Gouger St......... Cars all line up for viewing and a crap load of people, with a crap load of cafes!

Oh yeh and the Prologue on Wednesday i believe........ they use part of the F1/Clipsal track, well thats if your here then!

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
