The Sa Wasteland

[AndrewJZX100]

just a word of caution it will be organised at richmond kartmania

and the boys dont like when people are crashing and bashing their karts...

if you are deliberatly seen doing that they will kick you off their karts

What about drifting them? Last time I was there I was chucking it into the corner just after the straight as quick as I could and sliding the whole thing as it tightened up

Giving the brakes a huge stab coming into the corner after the back straight is a bit of fun too

they dont really care about drifting them

except if you drift and stop and 10 other people pile into you

yep thats when they will have a go at ya or kick you out

[AndrewJZX100]

Yeah I can imagine that'd be grounds for a talking to

It was only 2 karts on the track when I was doing so even if I lost all momentum (which is often in the slow Kart Mania rigs) then it wasn't a big deal I was just trying to get angles

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately?

yeah ive been there older than that youngsta do they still have the big bouncy thing? it used to be a lil diff with a harder top making it better for getting crazy air

and yes dont bother with their go karts

spose its a good thing i was planning on pulling my engine out sometime soon. went down to the local bp to fill up, walking back to the 200 i noticed something dripping, so popped the hood, had a poke around, seem to be weeping coolant from around the turbo.

also had some old codger mumble to me (with my head in the engine bay) on his way past; "stupid hoons, hope your cars broken". stupid old codger doesnt even know me...

doesnt seem like much of a big deal though, just need to keep a couple litres of demineralised water in the car just in case.

And here's my "Holy Shit that's a pretty decent car that Uncle Daniel would love to have in his shed" links for the day:

pantera with a bodykit. would love a pantera, but the 'devil' seems a bit silly, really.

much love for the cosmo. but daily fuel consumption to rival a C-17 globemaster on take off puts me off a little.

Did you reply with 'hey how'd you like to lose a bunch of teeth' Peter Griffin style?

Did you hav ethe aircon on while you were going to the servo? If you did i think i know where the water was comming from.

[scandyflick]

nope, a/c was off, vent was on though.

[scandyflick]

oh, ive bought a set of pads for the s14 as i can hear the current ones squealing, nothing special, just something to keep my brakes going til i get my qfm's and rda's, but uh... ive never changed pads on 4 pot brakes before, so would anyone be willing be help out?

was going to buy a cosmo prior to the stagea

but couldnt even get behind the wheel - made for small people

tune tomorrow, just a quick little one. cant afford anything atm, bills to pay but no money

so, probably just an hour on the dyno mapping 2nd and 3rd gears, for air:fuel ratios and slight fuel/timing adjustments

got a set of 3-guages to go into a din slot, and the injector setup but no moolah to pay for install, yet

anyone interested in ecu eprom tunes?

eventually want to get a wideband sensor, rom tuner and muck around with mine, learn etc, then offer a service to remap r33's on a local dyno?

yeah, the fastest car I've been in was a Turbo rotary with 320rwkw. Awesome engines if you don't break apex seals!

Or invest shares in Mobil, BP, etc.

Or... buy Port Stanvac Oil Refinery. Oh hang on... we already did.

[scandyflick]

i seriously think a decent 20B on idle would go toe-to-toe with a C17 on fuel consumption. ive driven a cosmo with a full exhaust, front mount, couple more pounds of boost, and i could see the fuel gauge dropping in peak traffic. its f**king crazy.
