That may be true, but that doesn't stop people from getting WDs as many have! Actually this DECA was pretty good in terms of map ease, Charles didn't have to help much but it was nice to confirm I was doing the directions right. Look forward to some complex ones next time, will make the navigator more useful! :blush:

Just make sure you have a good navigator!

One of my WD was because Brad yelled at me "2 CONES RIGHT!" By the time I worked out wtf it meant I'd already gone the wrong way.

navigators are next to useless on the pan.... unless you know the route off by heart your pretty much stuffed

Russ, Matt and Ryan going down to the wire in the last Deca... better make sure those cars are reliable boys! eg. don't bring a GTR in November;)

I don't think that's true, in much the same way that you have a co-pilot in jet sprints, they're only there if you NEED the direction assistance and the directions they give you need to make sense at first call :wub:

Only issue is when the Navvy 2nd guesses themselves and is being relied on :blush:

LOL yer, gotta get ya communication signals downpat before entrusting them to direct you. I reckon pointing at a cone and saying "go to the right/left of it" or "U turn around this" works pretty well, combined with you having a general idea of the map. Next DECA might try it without a navigator for the weight advantage. How'd ya new LSD go this DECA?

as a navigator, i did save a few ppl from wd but it helps when only a minor part of the layout is forgotten.

good day, interesting times. surprised to see john take the rwd mini wang record considering the huge lack of power but i guess that shows, power isn't that important.

Overall now not only combines 2WD and AWD competitors but all the point accured by each driver in any car. This sees for a much closer final round.

Oi!!! I liked the old one! :D

just coz I don't have a GTR to borrow...

LSD was awesome, but I don't think it really helped my times. Spent more time spinning out than going the right direction. However it was by far the most fun I've ever had at DECA.

Championship has been rejigged and will be up again soon. Overall now not only combines 2WD and AWD competitors but all the point accured by each driver in any car. This sees for a much closer final round.

Thanks Ryan.

Its much better to have competitors on each others asses in the championship, makes for a more exciting November event...

Just need to arrange a car to drive now...

Nah it has to be AWD.

That way I have a chance at grabbing the AWD title as well as the overall one :D

Might rip the 25 out of DFAULT, chuck it into the empty space under the bonnet in the GTR...

      Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
