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...

Obviously 32 GTRs and Evo 4s aren't video worthy! :D

I know :) Ive sent the guy a message hoping to hear back to see if he has any extra footage of the GTR...

The Lambo flamage is so cool tho :banana: Jason is a pretty cool guy!

I'm always amused by the old "driver needs nav" thing...... like, what happened to the last poor bastard who sat beside you?

Haha - doesn't say much for me does it. My next rally is likely to be Targa High Country which will be my fouth rally and will most likely be with my fourth different Nav!

But I can see it's going to be harder and harder to find new ones since my old ones all seem to get abducted!

One was abducted by an EMO, one by Indians and the other by Aliens (who removed his manhood)*

*this may not be true but its the only logical answer I can come up with so far.

Before I forget.... came across the best.rallystory.ever. recently...

How A $500 Craigslist Car Beat $400K Rally Racers

Proves there's yet hope for all of us backyard races :(

Trying to choose my favourite quote:

Parked the crapcan with Loeb, Hirvonen, the whole crew. I can only imagine what the other drivers where thinking when they strapped in: "WTF? I wasn't even born when that model came out."

OR...

Got there too late to do reconnaissance and had to mooch stage notes from the Peruvian rally champion. Dude is cool but notes are in Spanish or something. So e's are rights and d's are lefts?

OR

I once asked Bill why he insisted on going through every spectator section crossed up and with the engine banging off the limiter. "Dude," he said, "I don't care if it costs me a couple of tenths. It makes the fans go nuts."

So for those unaware, Lake Mountain saw some interesting times when a high profile Porsche (may have been driven by one K. Weeks) came upon a fellow competitior coming back down the stage on a closed road...Needless to say, Mr Weeks was very animated when he was telling us at the start line on the next stage.

Video evidence has now emerged...

You only need to watch the first minute!

Little Emo spun and decided it would be a great idea to go back down the stage a little to turn around, as where he spun was armco on one side, cliff face on the other...stupid stupid decision.

Worst part is, he'll be at Targa! :(

LOL, last weekend would have taking a lot of string pulling for both of us...but Targa High Country, just look at India as the driving force for me losing my will to live and in part losing my fear of death....plus all those drunk'n tuk-tuk rides means i am far better prepared for sitting in the silly seat :banana:

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
