I tried timing once and lost to you reece by 1 sec on mornin course 2.. it has inspired me to use good rubber and try and do times in the champ series next year.. Im hopeful of winning now lol

My diff is having a heart attack after trying to drift on 265 semis lol.. time for a 2 way for texi next year..

Oh and reece, adrians clutch is dead now lol good work!! told ya s15's suck! 34 powa!

That sucks, I feel really bad now, It still felt really good on the last wet run I did. I'll give him a shout out and see if I can help

did 6 runs whole day and 4 of those with TCS on .. FML. But even so was lotsa fun, especially in the rain at the end when I finally figured out I had TCS on the whole time (great timing there)

Thanks to the bloke that told me I was riding my clutch and that it was smoking after the first run ... Ben I think ? Appreciate it mate .. if you hadn't spotted it I would've probably killed the clutch. I was so friggin lost because of the TCS that's probably why I was on the clutch constantly trying to change back to first as I was like WTF IS GOIN ON MAN NO POWAAAHH

anyone got vids of the battles when it started pouring down towards the end of battle 1 ? I had Anna smashed but started celebrating too early and fkd up my finish :ph34r: Some accomplishment there ..beating a girl in an MX5 ..and couldn't even do that right. :down:

hehehe... dont underestimate the mx5.... you just wait till i have some decent tyres and sway bars on the thing for next texi!!!!

lol MX5 FTW!!!! :down:

flickr ftw :)

Hey Kory, i've ordered a vid & pics from you & by the quality of the pic of my r33 (midnite purple white rims) on page 2 of the thread, glad i did. It looks awsome, I'm praying for some good video action as i have not seen the car move from the outside yet (First time at texi) & not long bought the car.

Looking forward to recieving my copy of your excellent work! :banana:

He can buy my old hd one if it fits

It was all the car Eric :D

Its good your car was so fast cause I was having to much fun sliding around after that. Apparently if I didn't stuff up the last part of the second course in the Evo, it would of had your car. Damn cheater evos. Also the times for the Chaser in the first course was 26.3 and in the Go-To-Whoa was 8.4.

Yes, I know I've still have much to learn as a Texi Padawan, but I can't help being a proud pappa.

Thanks mate :( Pretty sure Matt got some sweet shots of your car too, so you should have a bunch of great shots!

Just curious, but by the sound of your car, your running a big single aren't you? Maybe like a T51 or T04Z? Sounds friggin awesome!!

    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
