Sorry I missed the Xmas dinner, had a family issue to deal with. My poor eldest son felt the need to protect himself (with a blade) from his pyscho mother who was beating him. Not good....

sold my track car tonight to a sau:nsw member. Plus I've sold the house, out of here early January. Busy week with a lot happening.... able to move on with life now tho. Will be set for uni next year, things are taking a turn for the better.

I don't wanna be that guy, but seriously what has happened to spelling and grammar? I swear as the years go by, it just gets worse and worse on SAU. I dont give a shit about missing commas and petty shit, but the your and youre, where and were, some people just have zero idea. Hope they never have to write their own resumes and do an office job! Some people on here cant even string a sentence together ffs!

I think you'll find that most people that can't spell or use grammar actually work for the Advertiser...

^^^ how lucky was he to go over that rock wall - had he hit it they would have been identifying him by dental records! Nasty stuff - and yes those guys are freaking crazy!

If you haven't already, track down a copy of "Grand Prix: the Killer Years" - same sort of story, it gives you a whole new respect for racers and what they do.

yeah seen that a few years ago. pretty shocking the way the sports governing body let the conditions for drivers get to such a level, guys are needlessly getting killed in almost every race.

although the same could be said for road racing (not that i would agree with it)

I got these seals etc as part of a VRS kit I bought a while a go, does anyone know what they are / where they go?

There's 24 of the little brass cups on the left, so I'm thinking it's all valve related?

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
