Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

It seems i unwillingly opened a can of worms here

Big call. Depends on what you call larger scale I guess...

by bigger track day/car event I mean by number attendance

Happy laps and powercruise are NOT track days :glare:

To me any event that is held at a race track is a track day. Regardless of how amateur/fun/serious it is

Is it during day time: yes
Is it on a track: yes

I will agree that happy laps is not a "track day", but don't drag events like powercruise through the mud. It is the upper pinnacle of what it is, and a win there basically puts you one of the fastest usable cars in the state.

Winning/placing at events at "Powercruise" is the be all end all as far as I'm concerned...

Powercruise is high on the list for the common car enthusiast.

Only if you consider a world outside drag racing, which apparently these guys don't

Powercruise can EAD.

Im not all about drag racing.... Interesting fact #6287: I've never taken my r33 to the drag strip, ever.

I have, it took me a few years to recover, and almost made me part my car and burn the rest just to make sure I was never associated that rajab awful cesspit of bogans.

Let me guess, you got chopped by a few commodores and you hurt your little Gtr ego?

McFly, telling it how it is.

I can see the merit in powercruise for those inclined that way but I wouldn't call it a track day. Nick, come to the QR sprints :yes:

If i had the $$ id set my car up for sprints and have a stab at it. Unfortunately it isnt and i dont have the $$ so i dont. Plus my driving talent is poor lol

My driving talent also sux - I will still give a track day a go when I am ready.

Children children! you buncha one eyed bigoted closeminded snobby noseup retarded ratbags.

the word "track day doesnt have its roots in circulating at speed around a race track in a car at all. Athletics have track days, horses have track days, cars have track days.

What you do when on the track is your affair but it is a track day regardless.

Drag racers have track days, time attackers have track days, bogans have track days, drifters have track days dirtbikers have track days, rc fans have track days. drug addicts have track days and for those old enough to remeber even swagmen have track days.

Sprinters are looked down upon by door to door racers, drag racers are looked down upon by sprinters and door to door racers, burnout boofheads are looked down upon by drag racers and spring racers and door to door racers.. power cruisers are looked down upon by segments of all the above and drifters are the scum of the earth according to most.

Take it from an old head. pretty much all of the above can give you an adenalin rush and make you wish you went and had that quick piss before you lined up.

Drag racing is a science in its own right as is time attack and door to door racing. (similar but with some differences)

power cruise is the showcase to all that is holy to the tough street car brigade. regardless of make model or country of manufacture there is true art on display at these events along with horsepower beyond imagination. To suggest that all one needs is a phat engine to be a player in that game is ignorant. the majority of the better cars are built from the ground up with a singleness of purpose to rival any found in other disciplines of motorsport.

You dont know what adrenilen is until you are circulating on a track with a 100 other cars and a collective hp effort totaling may thousands. Its a sight and sensory overload regardless of what you think of the tatood mullet hangin out the window of the car beside you.

Lighten up kids. dont just look over the fence and sneer, jump the bloody fence and go have a play.

you may be surprised.

I think this is the first time I have ever seen Noel post in here

Holy mother of replies, well said old man :)

This being probley my favorite line of the whole thing: power cruise is the showcase to all that is holy to the tough street car brigade.

And talking about mullet sporting bogoits Scott can vouch for how much we wanted to blow old bud in that [skids] ute away at PC.

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
