well, who went? Was it a good day?

yeah i went. i raced. i lived LOL

i was midfield most of the day (tagra b+c) 4th in race one and a new best of 1.03.2 down from 1.03.8.new 3'' exhuast helped. didnt get close to that time again all day though. got a tap in the rear in the last race from some hot headed bloke in a holden ute (what a stupid thing to race!!) didnt do much damage (anyone got a spare reversing light cover??). had to back off after that, started to missfire (overheated) good racing all day through the classes.

on the bad side ive worn out a front right,(2 big chunks down to the canvise) and my front pads.

ill have a new intercooler this week then i can turn the boost up abit and do a few other little things, get it dyno'd again and head to symmons, hopefully.

a PC licence wouldn't be so bad only $355 + Med. Aslong as it's not a International one, they start at $1294. I was thinking I could nick our Targa car and run it later in the year, or next year.

That stupid thing was running in the top 20 at Rally Tas the weekend before, surrounded by EVO's, STI's, Porsches and Lambo's... I don't see whats so stupid about it, its really not that much different to a monaro or commodore.

You just upgrade it, hastle Terry Curtain! we got one organised 3 days before the event!

However your GTR would probably have to Run Targa A as its based on lap times, so unless you have 6 piston calipers all round, a sequential box and about 700hp, you'll never catch andrew lawson.

Running within the top 20 at Rally Tas is a great effort and good on you for getting out there, a point of difference like running a ute or a wild color is always the best way to draw a sponsor.

I heard you guys had some pretty wild looking angles out of corners on stages! How did the tyres hold up?

I can see John's point of view, however minor the contact might have been he now has a damaged car and as Tasmanian circuit racing is hardly about sheep stations any damage is a pain in the arse and its not hard to run very close and not contact, but has to be something allowed for obviously.

a "sorry mate" after the race would of made me feel a whole lot better. these things happen and we take the risk but there is no reason to it on purpose (not saying he did).

good to know he ran top 20 in the rally. since our lap times where nearly the same, so might I have. and I bet its had tons more work done on it than mine!! For the record, mine is still 70% standard.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 馃槄
