nah it was better than ever this weekend.

Last corner I missed the tyres by about 3cm.

I think I fell off because there was oil coming out of my catch can onto the tyre, emptied the catch can when I got home and there was about 50ml of oil in there... Fkn more oil came out than stayed in!

I concur... It was a left hand corner, your catch can is on the right hand side (from the drivers seat), with the breather ingeniously placed on the right hand SIDE of the catch can, makes sense that if it had a bit of oil in it, it could slosh out the breather and straight down in front of the front right hand (and outside, taking the most weight) wheel :/.

Catch can is coming out and being sent away for some modification by someone who actually knows how catch cans work.

oh, don't watch the video in the embed on this page, the sound is like 50 times better when you watch it in youtube.

Is it just me, but when I'm doing zig-zags on the back straight here

Does the car just not want to turn left?

Time attack really opened my eyes to the comprises I make not only in my car setup, but also my life style. If I want to be better I need to practice and develop the car more, and that costs money. You're all my witness when I say, no more beer unless its a super special occasion and no more junk food, no more spending $15 on a take out meal when the supermarket is closer and cheaper. Postie bike development halted, no more motocross... Gotta start doing it right!

For those who are interested and don't follow me on facebook I'll give you a little update to my pledge.

I've stopped buying & Drinking Beer, fkn hardest thing I've ever had to do. But I've saved a tonne of cash and I'm feeling heaps better.

motocross is dead :( Makes me sad but doing skids is more important right now.

My starting weight was 125kilos and now I'm down to 90 kilos. So making pretty good progress there, only down side is my Sparco evo 3 doesn't fit me anymore and a slop around in it all the time and I'm even further away from the seat because my back fat was propping me up! hahaha.

So yeah, that's all going well :) I'd like to say it's helped with driving but I can't be sure. I know I'm better than I've ever been now but why? We'll never know...

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
