Adam and I have entered thanks to Kev donating one of his echos to us to use on Sunday. We'll take the other blue one!!

Should be sooo much fun!! Thanks Kev, i will treat it like my own, well not quite because I wouldn't drive my car on grass but we will look after it.

BTW - Kev are they the cars you use for the stunt drive courses? If I make it down on Sunday I'll chat to you about that as I'm super keen to have a go.

Haha Snowy, yes they are our Stunter Echo's ! Just waiting on the jump ramps to be delivered from NSW and away we go :(

I wont be driving on Sunday, but my G/F's son will be he's just turned 13 years old, this is his first 'car' event but he's been driving Karts since he was 4 years old and racing since his 7th birthday. Should be great fun. Here's a pic of him racing back in 2002, when he was 9.

By the way guys - there is a pre-meet tomorrow morning if anyone wants to attend, organised by Age.

The Village Green Hotel, say @ 8:15, with a depart time of 8:30. Should give us heaps of time to get to Moorabbin airport.

>_<

I have a few pics of the yellow one from your first run. Will post them up.

Were you there Chris? I said to a mate that I thought I spotted an SAU guy in a (yellow?) gemini passenger seat, but yours was red.

Maybe it was you afterall.

I have many Gemini's - All Rusty!

I was in the yellow supercharged 1.6lt one first up - Dropped a cylinder after 2 events.

Then moved to the beige 1.8 with twin sidedrafts - manged to hold on all day, but no locked diff let us down.

Also had the backup white coupe with changed ratio diff on standby.

Red one was at home cying cause he is low on compression!

So many Gemini... Is it Gemini's or just Gemini for lots of them?

So many Gemini sounds like a medical term or something...

Nice avatar Age, are any of those videos of the Echo?

Don't want to open them all at work because of the download limit.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
