Ok, So I went to Jump Mania today with my dad and little brother.

Boy oh Boy.. what a ****ing waste of dollars.

It was at the superdome (which isn't massive, in fact pretty pissy) and of the 3 hrs we were there, there was at least 40mins of intervals. The rest of the time dudes came out on 50cc mini bikes and drove in a circle, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground, 4 dudes on motocross bikes put on a decent show for about 30mins in total, 3 little mini monster trucks drove in circles (again, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground) and the big monster trucks came out and drove in circles... oh, and at the end, these trucks jumped on some cars...

The wining points;

- Truckosaurous (or whatever its name was) - oh man, i wanted to die!! Ten mins before this comes out, they push out a shitty old VN commodore into the arena. The lights go out, the lasers start, the (get this!!) jurassic park music starts and out comes TRUCKOSAof tUROUS. Truckosaurous drives over to the VN, clamps onto its roof and lifts it off. He makes it look so easy! It looks like the roof might be... IT IS!! The roof has been PRE CUT! So the ****ing thing just grabs it and lifts it off... Then (and this was the exciting part, especially with the jurassic park music and lasers) it drives back and forth over a 40ft area for about 10mins and then retires out the back while people are booing... the VN is then pushed off the arena, and that was truckosaurous... give me a ****ing break!

- The Motorcross dudes. Ok, so these guys were pretty good, but get this, one of them does a jump in the first 10 mins and runs straight into the wall...

- The Mini Monster Trucks. Ripper, when these things weren't jumping a whole 3 feet in the air, they were limping off after ROLLING onto their roofs!! Top work! Of 3 of these retarded things, 1 remained runing at the end. There were bits of them and fuel/oil all over the place..

- The real Monster Trucks ok, so they cost $270k, they wiegh 7 tonnes, they have 1500HP chevs... but really, they can drive in circles as much as they want, but its kinda boring... no, wait! one of them broke down TWICE and the 2nd time had to get towed off... now thats kinda exciting...

- The Mini Bikes - the most exciting thing was when a guy tried a backflip and landed on his head....

Guys, I was almost counting the minutes... it really ****ing sucked. :)

Then, we have a massive ****ing hail storm... :D

who let the bogan into the vic section :)

i went to see truckasaurus in Canada when it was on tour from the US. that thing was a firebreathing VW stomping (it ran over 6 VW's and crushed em all to pancakes) beast. only reason I went to see it was they actually mentioned it in the simpsons, and anything in the simpsons is teh cool.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
