most certainly still required. with a lock bar they don't move any more, but they still control the toe angle of the hub

yeah they have had some great results, on your cars and others in sprints, hillclimb etc. can't work for me because we have min 3x 20min races and they will just get smashed....even gordon leven were not willing to recommend their hardest a050s for race use. also not a great deal for most people doing longer track sessions.....but obviously a great choice if you are only doing 3 laps at a time

lol yeah about time they got that slug of a car moving better

Alan you are right....people may well be interested in those 2 cars.....they may well be eligibile for import and compliance under SEVS if DOTARS accept under 600klm as near new. If so they would be very cheap to import to aus for road use

honestly didn't pay any attention to the brand, it was generic korean/chinese/whatever. Have been running them on the race car for about 2 years now so they are good enough quality. got them through John at UAS, very reasonable price

lol.....mine are 500-550 a tyre....

go the dattos indeed....great work from both of you anyone else competing from the SAU class?

yeah nothing wrong with MS's skills, still very sharp......lewis's car was much faster but MS held him out for ages without getting overly defensive

yeah I agree Ben....skaife was given a drive thru years ago for passing the cars in front on the grass at a start....racing is meant to happen on the race track. I do very much like some more lattitude from the stewards, but it can't extend to dangerous driving. What Button, Hamilton and Alonso did were all dangerous. i think the difficulty of passing these days mean they have to push harder in marginal situation like pit in/out, at the start etc

sure is, ANZAC day on sunday, day off on monday.

probably just usual toyota quality....he should think himself lucky the brakes work

but its even simpler than that......they are not releasing something tricky like code, it is just fuel and timing settings. i agree if it was a super special race motor (eg a restricted intake ipra motor) and the owner knew....but seriously...a roady? that is just flat out anti-competitive (owner only has the choice of going back at whatever price the tuner wants, or $600+ to start from scratch)

I've got a couple too....where are you?

either you re-use one of the existing bolts or it comes with 2 and the pic is misleading. Either way it is much easier than any way I have ever tried

Cruise Route: Bells Line of Road MOUNTAIN HIGH Meeting place: pm any club member for details Meeting time: 24 APRIL, 10:00 for a 11:00 SHARP departure We will cruise from the start at 11:00 sharp and head to Mt Victoria for lunch at The Imperial Hotel (approx 1.5 hours drive) where we will stop and feed our faces, talk about stuff and things and socialise. Bells Line of Road is situated within the magnificent Blue Mountains, approximately one hour drive north of Sydney. Bells Line of Road took its name from Archibald Bell Junior, the explorer who at the age of just nineteen years crossed what was to become one of the most scenic routes across the Blue Mountains.(Thanks Archie) Maps will be provided with the route, we will also conduct a short halt(10 min) about 17 klm from the starting point at the BP servo on the Bells Line so as to keep everyone together. Ill see you all there with bells on. Then if anyone is interested they can head to catalina for a walk around a classic old race track which went the way Oran Park did before heading home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_Park Don't forget to be fueled up

yes! excellent finds. I only saw the first thingy for the first time yesterday, it is a brilliant solution to the problem

they use the same pad as the AP 6 piston calipers - which means almost every good quality pad is available in a range of compounds

which is 317 awkw for those who have got around to going metric since the 60s

some toyota engine? camry maybe?

I am not familiar with the FIA rules, but CAMS rules specifically prohibit bunching up the field prior to the restart. As we saw today it is extremely dangerous, with cars 4 wide into a corner when they are meant to be single file according to the rules.

yeah no engine check light on 32 series so it uses the cat temp light

that's ok terry - Tsukada-san doesn't understand what we say either lots of hand waving required.

I totally agree....a modern professional series cannot let people win after breaking the rules.

that is mostly because webber is a hack.
