great day

well done Mark!

I think theo needs to finnaly ditch his tires or hes going to struggle.

my understanding is theos car was making even more power this weekend with the modified t88 38gk. but obviously traction was a problem.

also well done to WILLO R34 GTR now under marks guidance running a new pb. 11.9

gettting there now well done!

Mark what times was Theo doing and did the milenium supra race?

congrats on the 60ft too thats amazing

regretfully the only thing millenium are doing with that car is polishing it.

it dissapoints me to no end to see a car of the callibre being a show pony. sat there all day with the other millenium cars being polished.

Particurly that Millenium was a decent sponsor of the day - and a sponsor of one of the classess...

last time it ran was last years jambo 10.0 @ 155mph i think?

Nice to meet you Adrian, here's a pic Neil grabbed for you...

RE: Driveshafts. Had spares, no compulsion to relieve my car of them however. Can't imagine why...

I've never driven a track that well prepared before. Flat out tore the pinion out of Rob Barac's diff! Now if I can just replicate that .003 light, 1.66 60' and 118.92mph all in one run i'll be stoked!

Thanks for the offer of the shafts though :O

adrain i do my shit my way not yours so keep your comments to yourself. had plenty of drive shafts in the truck so what is your problem. If you have a problem with me just ring 0418742486 talk soon

Listen here pal - You don't know me from a bar of soap and I really don't care if I caught you in a foul mood or not but you were a rude prick when I said g'day to you and tried to have a bit of a joke at the start of the day.

I'm in this for the fun and comradeship to be had from drag racing not to be told to wake up to myself by a bad sport.

Thanks for the advice but with the way you carried on on Saturday, I'll say just what I want.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, especially if its first hand experience!!!

Adrian, it would be good to see all those numbers come together, however, this is drag racing and there are so many variables!!!

I will continue to watch with interest. I do have to say that being around the sport since I was 5, the reasons for being in it are purely what you have states already!!!!

But there is a bit of competitiveness but this is never before mateship and fun!!!!

Cheers

Neill

people like to hate the best, theo has been at the top of sport rwd for a while now. we should respect that.

just because mark j is now a fierce competitor it doesnt mean every sheep should follow and join the hate gang.

ive rang theo before and he offered help to me as has mark, i dont know either particurly well.

I'd imagine its probably the way you conduct yourself adrian???

We met Adrian last year at Jamboree when he was in a pretty bad mood after circumstances surrounding the event, and he was never un approachable or rude when we saw him at various times during the day.

So I really doubt it was the way Adrian conducted himself..

I crewed for Adrian all day and I'll tell you now his conduct is 100% all day and a pleasure to crew with. Ive been around drag racing for 20+ years and its guys/cars like Adrian/2RISMO that make the sport. :D

Not ever being one to add fuel to the fire....Ive had many a lengthy phone discussion with Theo and he has always been very helpful and friendly with advice etc....but......

Last year at Jambo Theo, i came and introduced myself to you and you were a rude and arrogant prick so ill go along with what has been said here.

Mate a friendly demeanour goes a long way, I may have caught you at a bad moment so i came to your pit later and saw no change in your attitude towards myself and others. I don't know, maybe your personality cannot handle the stress that is competitive racing.

And Mick if its people who carry on like that, that make the sport its not one id like to be a part of. Take Joe Signorelli for example one of the most approachable guys ive ever met. I could go on...Kier Wilson, John Munro, Rob Barac, Mark Jacobsen etc....

For sure-a friendly drag racer is a cool drag racer-another example is Dom Rigoli who had a grin from ear to ear all day and even when he had a few car troubles he would laugh it off and crack jokes about it. ditto Rob Barac who broke on his first run but you would not know it-he was very friendly and couldnt do enough fur us on the day. Same goes for the Hardcore racing boys who lent us a spare full NOS bottle and simple said dont worry bout money yet just go out and cut a PB. This is the reason I'm back in drag racing and no longer in V8 supercar or should that be V8 superstar!!!

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
