very nice indeed! some great moves there. It must have been reverse grid, or some quali problems because he seemed much better than the guys in front, but none the less there were some awesome passes in there. I liked the round the outside of the black one, but it's hard to pick a standout.

ok.. thats just suicide!

I go to uni at bathurst.. (all of 200m away from corner 1 of the track).. and these things are FREAKING LOUD!

After driving many times around the mountain.. (and even chasing an Eleise funnely enough) around the mountain.. Videos do not do some of the corners, climbs/decents justice.. the corner just before conrod.. is absolutely BALL BREAKING! .. clearly.. cos the driver lost his ..

not lacking power going up the hill, he just got a poor exit from the first corner because he went so late under brakes....not that it caused him much trouble for the rest of the lap lol.

Dean is a good driver but unlike the rest of them had raced at Bathrust before - need to remember most of those guys were first timers in their own cars - he was experienced and in a borrowed car ;)

no same name different guy - this dean evens is the editor of motor mag and has done a fair bit of racing...I met the other DE at Targa not the same bloke.

Dan...re your question.....the answer is they don't not hit each other. Side on/full body hits don't do much damage or unsettle the car too much, its when you hit one quarter panel it all goes bad....

I'd say it might be easier on the panel beaters if they were all the same colour :unsure: there must be a lot of paint swapping going on. Looks like fun tho, would someone lend me a car?

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
