Hi Ben

$250 +GST for the unit that covers all data cost etc

You need a different antenna now to talk to the sats normally we sell the fitting kits for $170 + and they stay fitted for each event but we can lease a kit for 25 bucks just for TT your car most properly has a wiring loom in it ?

Anyway let us know if you want and we will keep one aside for you

Regards

Well we have had some rather bad luck down here and didn't make it back to the silverdome this arvo. Here's my short TT experience..

Yesterday morning felt ok, easing into it so that we made it through to the end at Hobart. Halfway through the Paloona stage after lunch we lost all boost so idled through the next few stages. After a quick roadside bonnet check we assumed it was either one of the intercooler pipes or the cooler itself. We drove the rest of the afternoon without boost (and blowing a lot of fuel out the back) and lost just about any chance we had at finishing the race above half way.

Lucky for us the owner of one of the Launceston performance shops owned a 33gtr which he was willing to sacrifice for us. We ended day 1 with the car back together and working and hope for a faster day 2. Once we are back at our cabin and about to get some dinner I get a call from one of the octagon officials at the silverdome and apparently we were needed back there. We get there to be escorted over to scrutineering for an engine stroke test. We were a bit surprised but ok sure, they had the tools to do the work. I think at that time they realised we were running in the bottom 5 in the category and were no where near contention so decided not to go ahead with it. They did pick our bonnet up though as it was not identical to the nismo one which I'm going to have to source and get approved before the next event.

After some showers overnight we woke to wet roads on day two and an overcast/scattered shower looking sky. Being our first wet targa experience it took a while to get comfortable with roads. After lunch we were back feeling confident and managed to pass an EM RX7 in one stage and a M 911 the next.

After an uneventful run through the Legerwood stage we started driving towards the Sidling, pulled onto the main road towards it, started overtaking a truck who had pulled aside for is when bang. Engine lost all power and there was a trail of smoke behind us. We pulled over and checked the engine bay with nothing looking out of place. Car wouldnt hold idle and or rev past 2000rpm. So I hitched to meet the service crew and we towed the car back to Launceston, getting to drive the Sidling with a car trailer at night in some rather thick fog.

As disheartening as it is, an engine is easier to replace then a body shell so we are luckier then some. Going to do it d before the next event and either find a new block or rebuild this one if its not too bad.

Anyway enough of that. I hope everyone left in the race has better luck then what we have had. Savman's looking promising for a podium finish, all the best!

balls pissbin

[Darkside]

Commiserations on the mechanical fail. Dissapointing way to go out.

Best of luck to all those still out. there. Seems like a tough year if you are confident in the wet.

[Topstage_S14]

5km from the end of arrowsmith (59km stage) I dropped to 5 cylinders, looks like I've done a valve. I was sitting in 2nd at the time, and would have been extending my gap. We did the last 3 stages on 5 cylinders. Pretty sad at the moment, but a few beers will fix that.
