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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
