What a rubbish weekend :)

Spent a heap of cash to go up to Bris for the weekend to watch Jambo with the Mrs, only to write off Sat with rain and today with some freak track problem. Also a bit annoyed that I couldn't redeem my Sat ticket on Sun given I would've been lucky to see 90 mins of racing on Sat which is nowhere near a full day of racing in my books.

Understand the safety first approach today and it was to right decision to cancel if the track isn't safe, but still dissapointing all the same, especially for the poor bastard who wrote off his R100 and for everyone who travelled to the event.

That's racing I guess...

Haha, yeah i got pretty burnt aswell, trust me to get burnt on the first sunny day after 2 weeks of rain.

But in all seriousness guys there is no one to blame. It was a safety issue due to wheather...

As i said earlier, if its a big weekend of drag racing racing, it will be raining... thats how it goes..

      Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
