  1. It amazes me how many catch cans are sold with no medium inside them, they are basically useless without them. As above, put some scourer wire pads inside, not steel wool though, the wool is far too light and seems like it could blow away with a breeze.
  2. Any longer at happy laps and radiator hoses start giving out in my experience...
  3. Good luck, they didn't have many left at the store near me, but they'd been there a while which is why they had dropped the price so much
  4. Aldi And horse came 7th, but 1st race, good thing I stayed at test and tune...
  5. Yep, still got a free pass that expires December from a time when test and tune was rained out. Bought an open face helmet for $40 yesterday since the full face one got too hot on Saturday. I'll go back out as soon as Sneaky Pete decides to run his car.
  6. Looking back at my videos, I'm starting to wonder how I would have gone if I'd let the car get anywhere near redline... I just have too much mechanical sympathy I think.
  7. Can anyone confirm if they were allowed to run yesterday with an open face helmet with just AS1698 but no :2006? I saw some for sale at ALDI today for just $40, but remembered this thread saying 1698 was different to 1698:2006. Willowbank's website says: "Approved Open Face Helmet – AS 1698 min" Can anyone confirm? The full face one got so hot yesterday.
  8. Just dug out the timeslips from my glovebox, 11 slips, and that doesn't count about 4 that I never bothered getting because they felt slow. Not bad for $60. Thanks Mike and anyone else who helped organise an awesome day. Can't wait for the next one! Should have a tune and 20psi by then, hopefully even E85.
  9. It may have taken all night but I finally beat the 14.2s, best time of 14.140, and all it took was to turn off the bloody headlights apparently...
  10. *Yet* Its just waiting for me to arrive... Some dark clouds around here, even if not much precipitation...yet* Also, Sorry guys, I just washed my car... we're doomed.
  11. Just seems like there would be more helmet than anything else in those pix, unless you have a thing about hands... Anyways... Anyone out around Ipswich got an update on the weather situation, not looking good here but I'm on the bayside.
  12. So you are asking for pix of mike's helmet?...
  13. So close, only 1 more sleep, anyone else polishing their helmet tonight?...
  14. What time do gates open? /About what time is everyone planning on arriving?
  15. Insert your own R33 joke here I guess, North Lakes today:
  16. will pay Friday night. how is this going for target numbers? Could I invite another 'magna' along?
  17. Longevity will be the deciding factor, these are cheap ones from eBay. Also, all led headlights like them use a tiny fan on the rear to cool the aluminium heat sink, I have run them for 5 mins in a go with no significant heating, but if the fan goes or lets moisture in they will probably die... Will keep you posted
  18. Here is another potato quality picture that shows how bright it really is, very spotlight-like beam, which combined with the HID lens lights I already have gives a very full spread. Even if I've only fitted one side so far.
  19. Then why does your commute to work take 5hrs?
  20. Oh, yeah, wikipedia says evo 8 and 9, but had read people say "evo 7 onwards", maybe they meant "after evo 7", I just assumed maybe the later model 7s had S-AYC.
  21. WTB, evo 7/8/9 super-AYC diff in good condition. All those E85 evos running around with LSD diffs, surely there is a big pile somewhere
  22. Yes, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pete for coming over to help me with a massive dump, couldn't have done it without you... Here are some photos, (suppose its about time I make a build thread though lol) Here is all the shininess in its final location: Old vs new: This will probably cause the best improvement, the old throat was LITERALLY a 1" square passage! (Fck you Mitsubishi): I did the front last weekend, was considerably easier...:
  23. Okay, so, I may have overreacted to my coolant system failure last weekend... Genuine hoses and ebay radiator.
