you would think that wouldnt you? i mean he would have known that it was heavily modified, and that getting it passed in another state without taking it back to stock would be very very hard and of course time consuming.

Yeah Luke you'd think so. I can't understand why such a HUGE price difference as really it didn't take Dan to long to sell his (compared to other people **cough Andrews S15 cough**) oh well each to their own

got to love the top gear boys

in the recent Britcar 24 hour they organized the most awkward sponsors they could and "conveniently" placed them on the car (especially when the doors are opened)

the sponsors are

LARSON BISCUITS

PENISTON OILS

Futurama movie just came out in the states a couple days ago and there is already a dvd rip out

go to your friendly neighborhood file sharing application and get amongst it

its called benders big score

I watched it the other day. Awesome movie!

Futurama: Bender's Big Score > The Simpsons Movie

Might (hopefullyyyy - fingers crossed!) have a R31 in a couple of days :rofl: omg...summer thrashing...40degree engine swaps :O

Im excited as if though im buying my frist car lol. Hell getting the bucket seats, tacho, steering wheel and all the other F&F shiz happening with this 1 lol.

Nah he doesn't own any cars always driven someone elses. At the moment he may be driving the car for the new owner (why wouldn't you want him he's won 5 out of 6 races in it) I'm still heading over as i have other business to do over there and people to see

Good luck with the F3 team, great to see another SA team out there. BRM are changing to F3 next year with Percat driving

Yeh we speak with Nick all the time, we saw him testing the F3 out at Mallala! But we heard a roumer he was going over to Europe, which wouldn't surprise us, He is a talent and always was when we raced Go Karts with him. So people watch out for a kid named Nick Percat, He will prob be the next big thing to come out of Australia to race open wheelers! and if that doesn't work for him im sure he'd find a seat in a V8 supercar pretty easy!!

yeah, the poor old bat copped a piece of my mind about the elderly driving.

if she cant see my brick of a car in her rear view, nor hear my horn right next to her ear, then she shouldnt be on the road.

my cars still mostly in one piece, its copped a whole lot worse over the years, but insurance will probably slap economical write off on it. spose time will tell.

I also got hit by an 81 year old lady in a Datsun 1600 on Diagonal Road, Glenelg.

Problem was, I was on 2 wheels and ended up in hospital for 2 weeks......ouch!

Did you ask for her 1600?? an 81yo driving a 1600, there the types you want to pull over and ask if you can buy the car cos they are in mint original condish!! Apart from that mate i hope you wern't on your bike you have now!!

I heard through a mate that Nick was heading over to the Formula Ford Festival with TWR (back when he was driving with them)

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
