Hi all,

I've been working on a car blog all about cars and the enjoyment of throwing them around corners. I've got a few regular sections going like car porn, tips & tricks, rants and my latest being tracks & roads where I overview racetracks and b roads mixed in with an interview of a regular at the track. The first one was just published and it features Chris (evil_weevil - a NSW Exec) who was very accommodating and insightful. The track chosen was Oran Park. Check out his interview here:

I've got another interview in the works now and that features Phillip Island and anther MX5 racer but you'll have to wait and see who that is when it's finished. :)

Would appreciate your feedback on all this as I'm totally noob but giving it a go. It's all a bit of fun and I'm enjoying blogging even though I haven't had a single comment. haha. I intend to try to cover some overseas tracks in the coming months but thought it's best to start locally to work out a suitable template before I approach foreigners. In a way evil_weevil is my guinea cop. :lol:

If you think you would like to participate in one of these interviews and you know a road/track well enough to say a few words drop me a pm for a chat.

Cheers

Nice work :)

Tell Chubbs he's an idiot... they're called Federal 595's not 535's :P

EDIT: I am wrong, Chubbs is right, I'm stupid. He's smart. He's the best. I'm the worst. He's very good-looking. I'm not attractive.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
