the local paper said it was announced earlier in the week that the management rights to Lakeside Raceway has been given to QR. So while I don't think that's the best result for club motorsport in the reigon - QR have basically priced their track out of the reach of Sporting Car Clubs to run events on Weekends so they can run Sprints themselves and pocket the profits - it will at least mean we'll get access to the circuit again, and state level racing should be back on the calendar for Lakeside. I can't believe it after all the years its been closed! Best news I've heard in a long time! But the track and the facilities are only protected until 2010 under the deal done by PRSC and the QLD Heritage Council, so we may not have all that long to enjoy it - once May 2010 comes around, council can move in with the bulldozers if they want to.

I shouldn't have sold my IPRA Datsun... may have to build another car to get out there and race while the opportunity is there. and there is a HR30 coupe in the carport doing nothing...

Yeh tetley told us about it a few weeks ago at the last Top gear at QR. Said hopefully by may next year we will be racing there doing sprints and proper racing again. Im not fussed over who got the rights to it, the fact that there is now another track going to be available to race on is awesome and so close to. Running at just QR and MP can get abit mundane unless you want to travel further. All in all its excellent news.

Im looking forward to it. Its only 10 mins away from work here at Brendale.....hooray :)

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
