Edit: if i attend the meet i might take the stocker stagea due to the "sporty alternative" subject to overheating upon reading the plan is to grind city traffic to a halt...

yeah shane

but we have a motorsport douchebag *cough* i mean minister now

but foley aint shit

ever since he got smacked out on his pizza crawl, hes been politically as toxic as rann (rightfully so)

Hes already said hes leving politics come next election...

He wont do shit.

But I'll still try and rock up to shove the middle finger in mike ranns face

-D

it is the friday of clipsal, and been told that several drivers in differant classes racing on the weekend will be joining in on the protest. Foley may listen as yes he is leaving but if it goes through parliment it will piss alot of people off and that would make foley happy as a last hurrah so to speak. Turbo tom 'minister for mining and other stuff' likes his driving and is mates with foley and have been in talks about these issues

A quick reminder that the Adelaide Motorplex protest cruise is occuring tomorrow afternoon, so bear it (and the delay it will cause) in mind if you are heading into or out of the CBD and surrounds from 1730 till 2100 this afternoon/evening.

I believe that a gridlock is the idea here

correct......it's the only way to stick it to these pollies (being a pain in the butt) particularly with all the petrol heads around.......they've got to pay attention

Prior to news breaking of the upcoming protest cruise during Clipsal weekend, media coverage was limited to a couple of Port Messenger articles. Look at the media interest now, multiple Adelaide Advertiser articles, and TV news coverage.

Media coverage, which the Labor Government went to great lengths to prevent not that long ago, has unearthed a split in opinion between federal and state Labor: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ipad/federal-state-labor-split-on-racetrack/story-fn6bqphm-1226019439222

It took similar protest action to get a positive result in NSW when drag racing identity Jim Read led a blockade protest cruise through the Sydney CBD, as a result Sydneysiders now benefit from Western Sydney International Dragway... paid for by NSW tax payers', not private investment that would fund the proposed motorplex.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
