OK thread renamed since it's taken on a life of it's own!

big thumbs up for CH10 with the new channel, they are showing heaps of interesting motorsport instead of the usual taxi procession.

I watch some DTM from hockenheim yesterday (much better racing than the local rubbish, although it was only a 20 car grid)

Anyway.....nascar is on atm. yes they only turn left, but if drag racing and drifting can be motorsport, so can this :( today is the "Milwaukee Mile"

I paid $70 for a bloke to come out yesterday and fix my reception problems just so I can watch OneHD. Turns out I need a better aerial at $340 grr. The sooner OneHD is available on Foxtel the better!

yay, ive had it with going to work on Monday after F1 on minimal sleep.

Behold our prayers have just been answered - OND HD is to be released on 02/07/2009 in regional NSW, VIC, QLD and Tasmania.

Bring it on.........

yeah i needed one too. at least it is half the cost of installing foxtel, and no monthly fees. I can't wait until foxtel goes broke and the few good shows on there come back to free to air.

damn all you lucky buggers with 1 HD already...ive still gotta wait

no SD either where you are? All aus transmittere will upgrade in the next year or 2. I've had digital for bloody years but until this year the only difference was the better reception. Now there's a whole heap of new channels from the existing broadcasters so there's heaps better options

ken oath. I get up too early to stay up until 1.30 on school nights. I can deal with 11pm tho :(

We have OneHD on Foxtel via cable

One of these for $149 does a great job on FTA digital HD.

I've already got Foxtel installed on the basic package with IQ1 which is the best thing since sliced bread but I can't get OneHD on the IQ2 box (not in my area or something which is weird because I thought the idea of satellite was that 'area' became obsolete).

It would have been cheaper for me to pay an extra $10/mth for IQ2 giving me access to OneHD than it would be to spend $340 on getting a new antenna installed.

BTW if anyone needs a settop box I've got an HD one for sale, $100, works fine.

I just picked up a hdd recorder that had a built in tuner so I don't need the old tuner any more

daytona 400 this morning. some of the historical footage is classic (door to door racing on a beach anyone???)

Not to mention what's now destined to be one of the funniest race finishes ever!

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
