CART bores me. I wish they had more Rally coverage. They should also get better coverage of the Le Mans series, and i wonder if broadcasting networks know if they could get great ratings with JTCC over here. Oh well. Motorsport is Motorsport. I'll be tuning in to whatever i can.

Who here likes the JTCC? I've found some videos on the net, but i lost them when the computer died a month ago. I'll try hunt them down again for those of you who like JTCC.

Well, to see some real racing, the State Championships are on at Eastern Creek this weekend.

The real races are on at 12.00 and 4.00 Sunday, but there are also on Formula Ford, Formula V, Improved Production, HQs, Sports Cars and Sports Sedans racing in between.

Well, all the sports sedans are pretty over the top! There was an incredible Jag XKR at the last meeting that did a last to first run three races in a row!

I've seen two Rx7s, but I'm not sure what they run - most of them are Chevs these days.

500hp! Not bad for a little 2L up against all the V8s.

Still, no wonder those cars break so often! There's also a fiat running a huge turbo something. Very expensive way to race - but about as quick as a supercar.

If you head out, drop by the Daewoos & say hi.

Duncan.

    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
