Cheers Dunc - I've pretty much got everything on that list except the fuel sampler and the 3L catch can (mine is only about 1.5L). But they are 2 things I really didn't know about. It's hard though when the regs for the rallies I'm doing aren't currently available to know exactly what to do.

Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

Forget Red Bull - turns out it's the Cygnet stage that gives you wings

Geebuz - I just looked it up and it seems EVERY speed event I've needed the 3L catch can.

I better give back all those club sprint and Dutton trophys. Mind you there's probably been <5% of cars at those events that conform to that one.

You're right Snowy... they need to get onto it pronto and solidify the regs.

Now with both AASA and CAMS, it's increasingly difficult to know which regs we should be building to!

The latest TT/AASA regs arn't even out yet :banana: which makes it even harder.

re the fuel sampler....would be a very good idea to fit one now special fuels are banned. There hasn't been much point checking fuel in the last few years when there were no restrictions but it might be different this year.

BTW snowy lucky you are a short arse. We would love to put cross bracing for cage in the roof but we always whack our helmets on them :ninja: I take there are still a few bars coming on that setup

TT and TPW regs are approved and set to go, we are waiting on our web guys to sort out some databasing software for both events websites and they'll be up early next week better than ever!

the fuel sampler isn't formally required anymore, but a good idea to have as it can make drawing a sample easier than a hose down the tank filler.

that guy from the evo forum obviously didn't think that approval to run reduced size rims on the 35 might have actually been granted prior to the last targa tasmania and actully written into last years rules!!... don't you just love people that worry about everyone elses stuff for them!

Yeah there's still all the diagonals and the side intrusions to go in there - was just a running update.

And as for the roof the side-bar is my only concern as I've kept the trim in so it is across a bit. We'll have to see when the seat goes in how we go. But if it is an issue I can lower the seat because as you said I am a short ass (silly seat is lower than the drivers seat currently).

the mazda3 will never be the same... and neither will the tiger snake i didn't quite miss!

yeah i totally agree. For a novice driver a longer stage is much easier - the short ones are over before you get into it and all of a sudden its helmet back off, brain back off and wandering around at the speed limit.

Its novice navigators I'd be worried about on long stages - much bigger chance of getting lost in the notes. I was lucky Kel never came off notes all Targa.

Come on I'm used to Dutton rallies where events are over in 30s. I'm an expert at short stages!

It's the longer ones where the "are we there yet?" factor kicks in that I'm worried about :P

I found doing a lap of the Nurburgring pretty mentally taxing by the end and thats less than 20km's (BTG) so 30km's will be interesting.

well I've never done the burger ring, but I never ran out of interest in side a targa stage lol.... adrenalin lasted long enough each time. I felt wrecked by the end of the day though.

But, comparing it to endurance races it is much easier to stay focussed because it always keeps changing. a 2 hour enduro race stint does get a bit repetitive and I found myself a couple of times wondering what I had done in the last 3 laps.

i saw some of the new website today before i disappeared for a long lunch so i reckon it will be up soon!

the targa tas course is still being worked through, but will form much the same as this year... but day one will be better!

the targa wrest point course will be detailed by weeks end with competitive distances.

Have heard about a few of the changes and they sound interesting!

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
