Well one of the best events in the championship has been run and won. What a weekend. Perfect weather for both Saturday and Sunday in the Barossa Valley.

Scott Pedder won the heat saturday and then Steve Glenney took out the over all win.

There are some awesome stages on this event as you see from the pics, there are some huge jumps and great water splashes

Neal Bates Motorsport brought out one of the ex wrc Celicas to run as 0 car

Definately agree with Ash. I think those are some of the best I have seen for car filling the lens and action at the same time. You should put the copyright on the pic as you are always generous enough to put it off the object. :D

Just looked at them all again, they really are amazing pics! The ones of the Service Area are superb especially.

I should grab that one of the VII - Mine too could like this with a small amount of air and an ascent!

I think we need to work out how to put a jump on the skidpan so we can get some cool hang time shots.

I wonder how balanced the GTR's would be in the air?? :happy:

Now that would be cool to see a GTR with hang time

hey guys

yeah most of them were taken with D2x and 300mm f2.8 lens

Yep il be at DECA with the same set up, so put on a show on the skid pan for me

Pharrrk!! Nice camera @ 12.4 mega-pixel.

Almost $7k for camera body alone.

I found out today that Navara's are pretty well balanced when they get jumped at 80kph in a paddock... :D:O It landed 4 square after travelling around 2 car lenghts in the air (judging by the untouched grass after the hump that I hit.)

In addition to the Navara jumping....

I found out recently that Landcruisers are pretty good at jumping in paddocks as well *looks at adam*.... You can get some really good air if you are going the right speed over the right size hump, I would suggest it would be much better if you remember to take the trolley jack and golf clubs out of the back though first! And too fast is not cool, the front end lands really hard and digs the bull bar into the ground.

HAHA

Bah - Landcruisers and Navaras...

Sure, Colin has been shoveling his works Nav through the Sahara a bit over the past few years

Until he binned it.

But there is only one true rally champ

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - there is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
