I'll see what I can do for you once I get back to work www.tyreswithnowelly.com is me!

Excellent thread. Very helpful

I've got a friend who is thinking about selling his. But he is in nz atm, I'll do my best to remember to tell him but if you bump this thread in about 2 weeks that'll remind me.

Yeah I already got a price off Brad

about three pages ago toff.

Big ends aren't much better, Crank is fine. Check out the oil pump though! Whoops.

Yay!!! How good is brad?! Always super helpful hilarious sense of humor to boot

Here are some more pics of broken bits. Piston #1, melted a bit and the top ring snapped into 3 bits. Piston #1 on right with another OK piston for comparison. Bearings in the Mains Girdle, this one, #6 was particularly hurt. #2 Mains bearing, what looks to be a little uneven wear, I don't have the gear to measure it though. Most of the mains bearings looked like this, except the middle thrust bearing. Another mains bearing. Another pic of #6, I've got no idea what the f**k happened here.... So yeah, that's a good $250 piston ruined by me being an asshole. All the other 5 are like perfect though, not really sure what to do with them... All the rods are perfect, the little end bearings are perfect. The cylinder walls are all OK, need a good hone and they'd be good to go. Except for #1, that's got a weird scratch in it, but it's below where the piston skirt is. Not really sure how that happened? It's hard to take a picture of though I reckon all the bearings are hurt from oil surge problems from doing Sprints and Drifting with a stock sump.... 61 seconds around basky with a stock sump, doesn't love it! I've got a new complete engine coming soon; I'll be nicer to this one. If anyone has a RB25DET block or short motor lying around, let me know!

Here is the Drags entry form and supp regs with the prices on it. http://www.devilisledragway.com.au/Drag%20Racing%20Entry%20Form%20revised.pdf

Good news drag fans! The strip has new owners now, I just got off the phone with him and while no official entry fees have been released yet it's still looking to be some good ol' cheap fun http://i.imgur.com/2fRjx.jpg Save the date! I'll post up more details as soon as I know them.

Hey All, I know there are some of you who are eager to get out on the track and just don't know how or where or when or who to talk to. Hopefully this will make it a little easier. If you have any questions let me know either post in this thread incase others have similar questions or send me a PM if you're a little shy. There are a few club\entry level motorsport events in tassie which will hopefully cater to any enthusiast who wants to have some good, safe and legal fun. All you need for them is a CAMS L2S Licence ($95 pa) and a Club membership ($60 pa for HSCC) #1 is Super Sprints, it's just you vs the clock, you do 3-5 laps at a time with 3 other cars on the track with you, you'll get around 3-4 heats in a day. Very fun, very little mods required, pretty cheap (Usually $110 per day) Only mods required are: Fire Extinguisher of at least 900g mounted within reach of the driver, secondary bonnet restraint, metal valve caps, blue triangle on the body indicating the battery location and clear contact over your headlights\foglights\indicators if they're glass. Super Sprint Dates for 2013 are as follows: Feb 10 - Symmons Plains April 14 - Baskerville May 11 - Symmons Plains Sept 14 - Symmons Oct 27 - Baskerville Nov 3 - Symmons Plains #2 is Hill Climbs, Hill climbs are usually a public road, start at the bottom, finish at the top, fastest time wins, one car on the track at a time. Hill climbs are really easy on your car because you're only gunning it for 40 seconds at a time with big breaks inbetween, expect to get 5-8 runs up the hill on these days. Only mods required are: Fire Extinguisher of at least 900g mounted within reach of the driver, secondary bonnet restraint, metal valve caps, blue triangle on the body indicating the battery location and clear contact over your headlights\foglights\indicators if they're glass. Hill Climb Dates for 2013 are as follows: Feb 9 - Highclere March 10 - Collinsvale March 23 - Barrington July 14 - Baskerville September 22 - Hobart Domain October 27 - Legerwood Lane November 17 - Baskerville December 7 - Highclere #3 is Drift, Drifting is about sliding the car sideways through the judged section of the track while maintaining as much speed and angle as you can while following the correct line. If it's your first time I'd strongly reccomend entering a practice day first, mostly beacuse Competition days you don't get as much track time, especially if you don't qualify or are eliminated in your first battle. Practice day entry fees are $150, this includes a $20 deposit which is returned to you after you help sweep the track at the end of the day. Only mods required are: Fire Extinguisher of at least 900g mounted within reach of the driver, secondary bonnet restraint, metal valve caps, blue triangle on the body indicating the battery location and clear contact over your headlights\foglights\indicators if they're glass. Spectator Entry is like $10 for Drift Competition days and there is food and drink at the venue. Drifting Dates for 2013 are as follows: Febuary 9 - Practice - Baskerville Febuary 23 - Round 1 - Baskerville March 30 - Practice - Symmons Plains May 4 - Round 2 - Symmons Plains June 15 - Time Attack - Baskerville July 27 - Practice - Baskerville August 31 - Round 3 - Baskerville September 21 - Practice - Baskerville November 2 - Round 4 - Baskerville December 7 - Practice - Baskerville There is also Motokhana which is just whipping around some cones in a small area either in a car park or paddok, pretty good fun, see the dates on the full calendar which I've attached. Khanacross is like grass track, large track mapped out in a paddok or around a dirt track, dates on the full calendar. Pretty good fun, I did it once in my WRX, had a blast. The other day which you'd all love is the Tassie Time Attack Challenge on June 15 at Baskerville. 3x30 min heats, best time wins, Three classes too, Street, Club and Race. There is also a small Drift Competition on this day too. Please always read the supp regs carefully before entering any event to avoid disappointment on the day. Then there is Super Series, Super series is Tasmania's Circuit racing series, caters to a large variety of cars and classes and is very fun to get along and watch! It's not for the entry level competitor as you need to install a large amount of safety equipment such as roll cages, racing seats, harnesses, buy a race suit and have your car logbooked. If you want more information on getting your car ready for Super Series let me know and I'll do my best to help you out, I've just finished getting my Circuit racing licence and car Log Booked. Super series Dates are as follows: March 24 - Baskerville April 28 - Symmons Plains May 26 - Baskerville August 4 - Symmons Plains September 7&8 - Baskerville November 10 - Symmons Plains Spectator Entry is like $10 for TSS days and there is food and drink at the venue. So I hope this helps you guys out if you want to enter some events this year! If you've got any questions or if I've missed anything just post up here! Or send me a PM. 2013 Competition Calendar.pdf

Ben pls...

how much for complete long motor RB20? What's the matter with it?

.....wut?

Just finished putting her in, here is a of the first start!

exactly what I said.

oh, you guys were just kidding? RIPS seemed really cheap and when I called them they were really nice, so I bought one of thier RB25\30s Long motors Just arrived Yesterday Afternoon, should be good for Round 4 Edit: Hey Jack, can you paint my rocker covers for me please? Need it done before Saturday!

go go ally fitting, it'll last foreverest then.

oh, the motor I'm about to buy comes with a plenum that I don't need! Would you like to buy it?

looks like you guys had fun Water pressure gauge comes in handy for those occasions It'll also tell you if you're head gasket is cooked or if you're getting head lift.

That's one of the plans Rusty, just get a stock\mild RB25 and throw my turbo\supporting bits on it, just get back out there and start skidding again before the car\project gets stagnant.

any videos from the sunday's efforts?

Earth circumference = 40,075km 40,075 x 3 = 120225 Maybe....

I got my last set from repco

Three laps of the world, best.
