Hi,

For those of you who have been to a few track days, you'll know that it’s pretty much the best fun you can have in a car.

I enjoyed the Skyline days so much that I've signed up for a real racing series, the MoPro Cup.

Unfortunately, I'm not racing a Skyline. Instead the series is for identical Daewoo Lanos (or should that be Lanii?), and we've just finished the first round at Oran Park. As all the cars are identical, results come down to driver ability, and this creates incredibly close racing.

The reason I am posting this is that I'm looking for assistance in the form of sponsorship for the series.

The cost of this sponsorship is $200 per round, that's just $1000 for the rest of the series.

Your $1000 will get you:

* Coverage on my car for the next 5 rounds.

* My support of your product whenever possible (eg. after race speeches, distributing information at races, racing apparel and any other opportunities you can think of)

* Free entry to the remaining 5 rounds (the next round is Eastern Creek on 22-23 June)

* 100% tax deductibility for your company (claim it on your next BAS!)

* Hot laps at Sponsor drive days (the first is next Saturday, 25th May at Oran Park)

Of course, we are willing to discuss other packages, dependent on your business's budget.

Specific opportunities

* If you sell import cars, the crowds and competitors at these events are (not surprisingly) interested in performance cars. I saw 2x Skylines, 2x 180SXs, and a 22B WRX among the crowds (not to mention the Pulsar GTI-Rs, FTOs, Familias and WRXs racing in various groups.)

* If you have a performance or motoring related business, the spectators are obviously interested in performance parts or services.

* If you have a unique business product this is a unique way to market it at a reasonable price!

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact me via [email protected].

As long as we have an agreement in place by Friday (24/5), you are welcome to attend the day at Oran Park next Saturday to see first hand how fast and close these cars really are. If not, there will be future hot lap opportunities, and of course the other coverage as described above.

I would also appreciate you passing this opportunity to any other potential business owners you know who love their cars and motor sport. Long term, I'd like to be racing a Nissan, and this is really a stepping stone towards that goal.

Thanks for your support,

Duncan Handley,

Future GTP Champion in a Nissan!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
