$50 per dick? I could get a lot of dicks put on the car for enough money.

They don't seem to like design/tech advice from non engineers. I suggested they look at getting a Wolf system this year for the ECU instead of forking out mega bucks for a Motec M800 with all of the options unlocked. Didn't go down to well. My opinion in something like this would be to look at the top teams around the world and see what they are doing and a lot of the top teams, including the winner for the last three years running in Australia, are running Goodyears. Know why? Goodyear have spent time and money developing slicks SPECIFICALLY for Formula SAE competition world wide. Yet for some reason we are running Hoosiers. But what would I know, I'm just a business student I'm going to be hitting Goodyear up for sponsorship for the team as one of my first projects, followed closely by targeting one of the big fuel/lubricant companies. Need to develop a solid marketing plan first and try figure out if I am allowed to sell naming rights for the team/car as part of a sponsorship package. I have a modest goal for my two year stint with the team, I want to double their operating budget. They are currently receiving almost no external support and managed to place 15th from 48 teams in one of the most competitive comp's in the world for this category last year. I'm super keen to see what they can do with more coin/product/services behind them.

Reading an article on how much of a dick online gamers can be and came across this gem of a quote: " If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let their be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it."

We had an XF drag a F250 down the main straight at one of the happy laps

I'm in a lecture now.

Pffft, not about what you want

there's a big rocket I'd love to see her playing with

Mech/aerospace engineer.

I'll do my best bit of competition though. Females are outnumbered shit loads : 1 in engineering. Only 3 chicks on the team in total.

Here's hoping!

Finally heard back from the insurance guys, they are going to go ahead and repair the car. I could be in for a very long wait however as they aren't sure as yet if the IC, radiator, trans cooler and AC are damaged and need to be replaced... Considering it took PWR 4 weeks to make my previous trans cooler and radiator if they do replace them I'll be sans car for another month. IC could be another problem as Blitz don't make that particular model any more Le sigh. Oh yeah, and they haven't even looked at what caused the engine issues like it loosing fuel and becoming completely unresponsive or the surging and then almost stalling idle when I started it up the following day. I'm not pissed that they are repairing her, I'm actually happy about that. I'm just not sure I'm going to like the wait considering it took them over a week just to make an assessment on the car in the first place.

Last years car by UQ Racing without the CF/Fiberglass body over the space frame

I love high end luxury Jap cars. Taking it to the Euro's before the Euro's knew there was a fight going on.

Is that a CRT? Lulz if so, but also HOW FREAKING AWESOME SAUCE!

Where have all the cheap S chassis cars gone? Can't find a turbo, manual S13/S14/180SX for under about $5-6k. Looking on Carsales, Nissan Silvia, Hard Tuned, Boost and here...

A mate of mine had his 32 GTS-T flogged from Auchenflower on Friday night. Car was recovered in late last night partially stripped and two guys were arressted I believe. Hopefully it was the same scumbags.

Did some digging. From the factory the RB20DET had more or less the same power as the VG30ET (one or two HP difference) but 15nm more tourque. I guess the 4valves per cylinder and higher boost/addition of an intercooler really make all the difference.

Wouldn't an RB20 have considerably less tourque than a VG30? And Smity, buy them all I shall then dub you Mr 31! And we shall talk when insurance gets sorted. If it ever gets sorted... I was promised an answer by 5pm Friday. No answer as yet...

Good luck finding a real 200ZR however. Weren't they rare as hens teeth? Also, beyond rarity what did the ZR have over the ZX? I'd probably prefer the VG30 over an RB20

Now you need a Z31 to round out the 31 family

Boo Smity. But also yay Smity!

Who wants to do my stats analysis work for me? Base level stuff so we have to show all working instead of just plugging it into a nice big spreadsheet full of macros.

Probably has something to do with you selling illegal controlled substances...

Le sigh, still awaiting assessors to get back to me taking their sweet ass time.

Also, I'd be curious to look at the whole financial situation for Wow to see what caused the collapse. I remember when ADR (parent company of Crazy Clark's) went into receivership they had just posted quarterly profits above expectations and showing year on year growth. They were a thriving, profitable business. However one of their lenders got spooked by the situation in America and called a loan for several millions of dollars which ADR were unable to meet on such short notice which caused the company to fold. I know Wow had aprox $50 million in debt split between one of the big four (thinking NAB) and creditors but unsure past that. Can anyone enlighten me as to what caused the collapse?
