A big thanks to every one for a great event! THANKS

Lots of problems with my car stalling at high RPM, and i need further mods to my seat and floor pan to fit in with a helmet!

Stoked with last place honours! .................. not really!!

A big thanks also to mi mate Russell the love muscle for bringing along that bastard monkey bike, apparently it's quite the in thing to lubricate handle bars in manufacture to fit the hand grips! However when attempting to ride the stoopid thing the hand grip came off and so did a great deal of skin and flesh............... :D

Any hoo skin and flesh will have grown back for the next DECA, and my dodgy ECU should let me drive the car hard given some TLC.

:dry:

tee hee hee :D

every time I see this pic, I have the Beachboys' Wipeout song playing in my head. Next time I'll be checking my tyre pressures before I go out on the track. Luckily the tyre only came off the seal, not totally off the rim, so all we had to do was pump it back up so it sat properly again.

Lack of tyre on rim = round and round into the embankment. No damage sustained. Thank god... esp as at that stage I'd only owned that car for 12 hours.

RSM top scores from the day's events. 142km/h max speed, most likely on the back track area.

Lateral G's front and rear and left and right over 1.0g's. Rev limit was at 7 grand, so someone bounced it past to 7700rpm.

have you tried Windows Movie Maker, its pretty simple and easy to use

Some more mini-cars.

The supra looks cool as! You need to show these to the organisers of that aussie mini cars series that supports the v8 supercars, mini supras and gtrs tearing up the track would look great, altho they might get banned again :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
