we won "organizer's choice"

which probably had a lot more to do with Hank blatantly bribing the officials with delicious bbq than anything else

no idea where we were at the end, but that isn't really the point of lemons

Hence the team that re-entered their silvia, fitted with a not-very-fresh RD28

Dale! Angie sent me a bunch of pics from the weekend, I'll get them through to you.

Yeah, I agree, I think we won on our epic BBQ - Dale even got a fkn medal!!!

I think overall (laps wise) we came around the 5th mark.

Plans are already a foot for nect year, Dale is even going to help drive!

Update on car: 
It's blowing Fuel Pump fuses like a mother, got it booked it to get towed to C-Red for an investigation. 

Then it *might* head to the body shop.

Good luck! Hopefully it's an easy fix.


Speaking of car dramas...

So I'm trying to buy parts for my Humvee. Found a bloke in America with what I want at great prices. He says he won't ship overseas and I tell him that parts only need to go to Texas. He's happy with that and keeps talking to me.

We finalise the order and agree on the price and shipping. I ask how to pay, he says he doesn't use Paypal (maybe because of their fees or he's old, I don't know), so he says I can pay with a cheque or money order. Well mate, I'm in Australia I can't send you a fkn cheque can I? I ask about the money order, I ask if that means sending the money directly to his bank account which I've done previously for parts in America, it's fairly straight forward. Apparently not! Now he won't accept overseas payments...

So apparently I have to get my mate in Texas to send him a fkn cheque (then I pay my mate obviously) before he sends parts.

Geez! If you didn't wanna' sell me shit in the 1st place, just say so! It's a $765 USD order, why wouldn't you want it!?

Meanwhile I bought my Smart Start through someone else via paypal this morning and it gets shipped tomorrow lol.

Hopefully they can fix it without bleeding you dry!

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
