Simonsen and White both had an Off in one of the stages today.

Thursday, 19 April, 2007 12.57PM

902 - Simonsen / Searcy - Off on TS13 Weldborough Pass - 8.4km - crew are OK

934 - White / White - Off on TS13 Weldbourgh Pass - 11.2km - crew are OK

Jeff getting faster in the Evo according to what results are available.

The Skelta is also out with mechanical dramas.

I have a gripe though.... BOOO to the Targa Tasmania website for not having bigger pictures available on the website.

This is the best I can get of Jeff in action.

Results page down whilst they do some work on it.

Current feelings from Jeff is that the car isn't as fast for him as the GTR.

Current placings as far as I can work out from non-confirmed times this afternoon is about 14th.

More when the results come in.

IT WAS FANTASTIC!! :)

Three more days to go!! ;)

That's all i've got time for, nice update Pete!

You suck!! :P

What kind of post is that! :laughing-smiley-014:

How about a quick run down of how you are doing for all us minions back here in Melbourne! :(

Glad you are enjoying it and well done on the Hulk!

Okay report.

Jeff and 3 or 4 other Evos broke their front diffs on the same jump today.

Apparently one wheel lands on the dirt, one on the tarmac, and if you get a little bit of air underneath you the revs flair for a split second, at the same time the diff's lock up via the computers, and when you land, one side wants to spin, one doesn't and BANG.

So they spent the rest of the day driving on the rear diff only.

An Evo driving on its rear diff, is like a GTR trying to drive on it's front diff. Not fast....

New diff going in now and should be ready for tomorrow.

Current position, about 22nd.

BASS OUT

But isn't that what a rally car should do in a normal day's work?? - Get loads of air and cover all types of surfaces? Hmmm....

So what you ar trying to say is that when the cars talents run out all EVO drivers show why they needed and EVO in the 1st place?

Now thats funny!!!!!! :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Oh and WRX FTW!!!! :)

Hey ppls.

Well a quick wrap up.

Jeff had the diff replaced that night and was back on track the next morning.

However, placing 60th all day Saturday didn't help his position and driving the wheels off it on Sunday was pointless.

Positions in the 30s during Sunday reflected this.

So, 23rd outright for Jeff. I think that would have been his worst result in 14 years of Targa.

I'm sure Jeff will come on SAU during this week and give a bit of a wrap up.

Well done to Jeff for not leaving the track !!!

Maybe next year he'll be back in a GTR again..........

BASS OUT

Congrats to Jeff as always :)

Just goes to show that 'teh Beable GTR can nevar lose'... esp to a Beable Evo hehe

He had a quick chat/mention about it last year, I don't see why he wouldn't this year.. otherwise we'll just have to beat it out of him :P

    • @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.
    • Hi, I went to the MINES shop here and bought something.. Niikura-San just happened to be there so I managed to take some pics and got him to sign my dash surround thingy. Its still wrapped in plastic back home.. I was thinking how to preserve the signature??? Im sure someones thought of this and done this in the past.
    • Perfect - thanks Joshuaho96!  Will see what I can source.
    • If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...
    • I think this is more a question you should ask the tuner. My assumption is you have nothing plugged into the original pin for ring gear crankshaft, which is where your map sensor should get wired to, but now you've asked the tuner to disable it. I'm assuming (because I haven't memorised your setup) you are using RB25 ECU on the RB20 loom, to plug into an RB25. You will want to check what else is connected potentially backwards between the engine, loom, and ECU. You might be all fine and safe. The best solution you could have done is wire in a map sensor, and leave the ECU able to read a map sensor.
