sheet, thats *this* saturday. Yup.. BP coomera sounds good. 8:30a is an early start, but I think I can make it :P

I'm staying at my mates place down the GC this weekend, so heading down that way anyhow. After DC i'll just head back to the GC.

I am out, picked the line up Friday and one of the turbos decided to shit itself, has been sent to Townsville for repairs but we are out. Feeling a little depressed so have decided not even to spectate.

Good luck to all those racing and make sure you take ALOT of photos of the bikini contest (as well as the racing).

Who is still coming to meet at Coomera tomorrow b4 heading off?

I am still up for it.. but the heat looks like it could put a huge damper over the whole thing if its the forecasted 41 degree heat ends up being a reality!! I know i'd never drag my car in that heat.

If the car turnout is going to be low due to the heat don't want it be a whole waste of time and trip. It seems quite likely ??

Can just save the money and spend the time in my mates pool instead :)

I reckon they should post pone it. If not for the attendees but for the drivers... **** sitting in a car with the windows up and no aircon on with long sleeves, long pants and shoes...

Yeah, seems stupid to be honest. There will be dramas somewhere. But guess you can't just "postpone" a large event like that for those coming from all around QLD and possibly interstate.

blk: by that theory get there early in the morning :) later in the day everybody could have given up and gone home. But no idea !

The postponed it last time it was one. I personally don't think it's such a big issue with this one as compaired to the last one. Last dragcombat was the only event for the whole country. This year they are taking it to nearly every state. But yeah, they postponed the last one, even if it was only for one day :D

Also, I've been watching the trends of the heat lately through the BOM website and it's actually the hottest in Ipswich/Amberley around 2ish in the afternoon, then it drops. So either early morning or late night is the way to go :)

They postponed it for one day last year because of the heavy rain.

So ...it's going to be hot, it might be less humid out there than in Bris. Cancelling would cost them a fortune and is simply not on,

We are taking the car out there ....and we will run, doesn't look good for 12's though.

Any of you guys make it out there,don't be shy, come and introduce yourselves....you might even get a cold drink. Look for a tatty maroon Rangerover with a silver 4 door beside it..shouldn't be hard to spot the number plate....51JAY, nice of him to let me drive his pride and joy

Anyway Ithink we should make the effort to support Drag Combat and we'll be doing our bit See you there

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
