I may or may not be out.

I agree totally guys. It gets to the point where you just think "i'm getting pulled over and abused by the general public for doing nothing, why not make it worth it???" I hate the thought of putting anyone in danger when I drive but to be honest my mum has had a thousand accidents in her stock as a rock commodore and I havent had one in my super dangerous HPI...

An interesting point to note is that on "Australia's Worst Driver" the reality show and infact on all the "worst driver" shows from around the world, there has never been a HPI owner. The drivers are usually clueless middle age people in stocker day to day cars! I think you cause more of a problem if you sit in the left lane of the highway doing 20 kmph under the speed limit than if your in the right lane doing 20kmph over!

I'm sure we all have a rant to rant on this topic but I think my 2 cents is in.

i'm out this friday. am up for hitting the town after aswell.

i watched the same story last night, and almost started a thread about it. i'm very tempted to ask a news crew and a reporter from work to come on the next cruise with us and do a story about us, the young car enthuisasts (yes, this includes you richard!!!!), not the HPI Hoons.

hhhmmmm......sounds like a good name for a DVD!

Been a while since i've ventured out.

With a new battery and tyres i could be good to go again soon, and no work on Saturdays means i can come out, and stay out.

Would have been better if you repeated the O or F, the T just looks weird repeated, and wouldn't sound right if you tried to pronounce it anyway :)

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
