Well I think our course of action is clear, it's time to get Australia's premier journalistic teams on the case, lets call ACA and Today Tonight!

They love hoon drivers, so that's a tick, but if we want to be guaranteed a story I think we need to work some other pressing issues in to it, so how can we link this to: the Corby's; dodgy builders; and fat kids?

Time to get cracking people. :O

Breaking Headline on ACA and TODAY TONIGHT - Fat hoon kids in desperate need to deal marijuana out of there body board bags need a race track to lay fat skids. Bob "bloody knob" Jane has no intention of allowing these kids (possible related to Chapelle Corby) access to his track as he is a pov ass and doesnt realise the money that people are willing to spend for just the opportunity.

Also on TODAY TONIGHT - Ricky Martin's transgender operation..........stay tuned

I've obviously missed the first part of this story. Does he no longer open up the track for drags any more? Why not, is there a reason for it? Who is this new person that is looking to buy it and what is his intensions with the track?

Any decision made by the courts is not going to be a criminal ruling... this is a case between two businesses or at least two distinct identities.

This is a legal case between Bob Jane and Bill Russo.....NOT Bob Jane vs the people (or the motorsport community). AIR is a private facility, owned by somebody other than State/ Federal bodies.

Therefore any petitioning, rallying, lobbying etc will not make a lick of difference to any legal decision.

From what I understand, Bill purchased the company that held or at least was in the final stages of negotiation for the contract for AIR from Bob Jane. What is now in dispute is whether the purchase of this company actually grants Bill Russo full ownership of AIR which was at that stage not finalised from my understanding.

Bob Jane went to every length to prevent Bill Russo from getting his hands on the facility, as he was seen as a competitor to Bob Janes business interests.

Bill apparently had huge plans for the revamp of the facility and would place himself and his company - city dismantlers at the pinnacle of South Australian motorsport identities. Something I guess Mr Jane did not wish to happen at any stage.

I am happy to be corrected on any of this, as much of it is piecing together bits and pieces of 3rd party information

i heard one of the two wanted to split it up and sub divide..

and that came from a reliable source.

That was one of the assumptions I had made in my own mind... that amount of subdivided residential land would make a absolute crapload more money more than a motorsport facility would taking into account public liability and maintenance etc.

I find it ammusing we have some of the fastest drag cars (GT Autosound, Munro and Keir) BUT we have NO track! How dissapointing!

PS: Ash i thnik you may be onto something there! Terry you know more about what the deal is with Bill, might pay to run it to Bill and see what he has to say!

Well i guess it could be "partly Gov funded" But that will never happen while Bob "the knob" Jane has it in his hands! I'm sure Bill would like to spend not only his money and the Gov's cash on making it one of the best drag strips in OZ! But ATM BJ doesn't care much for it at all!

I also read somewhere(might have been the Cams Newsletter) that SA has the 2nd best interest in Motorsport per Capita, with NT bieng the first! we have more people attending events than anyone else! but yet we have no drag strip! WTF!!!!

just watch out for a speed/red light camera on the crn A.I.R/marion

Heading home on a not last but the Friday night prior I saw them setup hidden cars (sidestreets & lights off on the side of the road in front of parked cars) 3 traffic lights in a row on both sides waiting for people to drag.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
