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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
