Yep all barring, the car does ok at Rally Tas end of the month.

Why you looking for a victim to sit in your silly seat?

Na just wondering. Damo is going to be my nav

haha Trav and the GT-R will have their work cut out, both are listed next to Dad and I. I think there is a few busy navigators in the list at the moment

I think he's pushing shit uphill to get it there, i'll take of pic of it when I go out to my car tonight. But it's just a bare shell, with the cage installed (only was finished on the weekend).

My guess is that the old faithfull N1 will be pulled out a week before the event, and have brakes tyres and oil thown at it.

I wish we could here our intercom because you'd here Matt tell me "Don't try and race him" HAHAHAHAHA - yeah right!

To which you replied to me "Nah... I'm not!". haha - lying bastard! What would your wife say if I didn't at least 'try' to keep the red mist at bay. ;)

Great to meet ya Matt! Shame you couldn't hang around longer Sunday night..... I was under strict instructions to mess you up! :P lol

Haha, good to meet you too mate. I'm sorry I missed the after party, but my one remaining kidney probably isn't! Ended up having a few with Newton/Paris etc on the boat instead.

Roy can at least be satisfied that he has 'people' out there willing to do his his dirty work.

Looks like I'm going to have to do some hard core training at the pub leading up to Tas. y'know.. to stay in drinking shape. ;)

:O mannn that was fast/sketchy! Makes my footage seem really boring...

Dad and I had a fun weekend, got down to Devonport, drove to Hobart, went through doc & scrutineering then recce'd the first day's stages before drivers briefing. Left straight after that and finished the 2nd day's stages just before dark.

Car ran fine however started to shudder under brakes half way through every stage from about the 2nd or 3rd stage. Same thing happened on the 2nd day at High Country so we had the disc's runout checked then machined (wasn't far out) and replaced the steering rack bushings, caster bushings, wheel bearings, brake pads and had the wheels balanced but still the same problem so we are back to the drawing boards to work out what it is :/

Anyway here's a vid i put together of the Oyster Cove 1 stage

Did anyone think the stop point for Oyster Cove was a little close to the TF?

what rotors do you have? they are probably warping when the get hot, and going back to shape when they cool down.

Here's some pics of Dads STI that he wants to run in 8 weeks

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
