So Knox police putting a stop to SNL... no more BP Eastlink. theres talk of safety hazard backing up the freeway with people trying to get in. i kind of understand it... but its hardly co-operating with the organisers (though I guess its not technically a legal meet, especially when you got 500 cars showing up)

Unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the meet point just can't get any worse. Sad

It would be interesting to see how they could legally enforce this, short of defecting everyone. Technically it's just a random bunch of cars parking in a car park that is private property (I imagine, owned or rented by the service station?). What's illegal about that? Maybe they should wait until something actually happens.

I mean, if they are worried about traffic banking up because of a meet...have they driven on the Monash in the last 15 years?

The better was at Daniels Donuts, which is a 24 hour Donut/Pie shop which is in a little "shopping centre" with a massive shared car park which is outdoors and open 24/7.

Apparently police came and shooed everyone away, when they were legitimately buying food from a place that is open 24 hours, none of the other shops in that area were open.
Telling them to move on from a legal parking spot trying to legally buy food from an open business serving them? Pretty lolsy.

Maybe go to the one on the otherside? lol id be surprised if they had staff at both approaching any car thats cleaner than most others.

BP eastlink doesnt sell kebabs so im happy to find somewhere else to stand around. Was standing around with VIP people at bottom of olivers hill jetty last weekend and had some dude in the wrangler drive passed slowly and call us gayflamin mongrels. (Mind you one of the guys had a drift RC car)

I got an rx7 rc drift car I bought ages ago with Bez when we thought it was a good idea.

Actually had a fair bit of fun out of it too bad sits in the cupboard now days with some battle scars haha.

So got a notice to vacate current rental as they have decided to sell, and there be a couple months cross over from this place to the new house finished.

thinking finding a short term renal plus moving stuff multiple times is too much a PITA

 

So thinking put stuff in storage and use the rent money for new furniture.

And it's only been day 4 of unemployment.  

IT life hey, (you were i.t right?)

Martin that sucks, worst timing for you - move stuff to your new property lock it up and stay at a cheap hotel for a few weeks?

Actually lets all stay at Pats place

    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses. 
    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
