I dont think there is any malice in it...he just stuffed up. I wsas more annoyed with Tanders mysterious slowing in the 2nd heat, and when he was given the black flag how he rolled through corners holding up Lowndes so Kelly could catch back up :P

No it wasnt his fault, he was blocked by craig

Wrong

"...wat happened with him and rick was nothing but an accicedent."
Doubtful...alot of morse code going on as that clown Crompton calls it. The fact is Lowndes had the right to choose that line, was already on that line and Kelly hit him. A drive through does not compensate for the injection of a bunch of toe out. But a penalty served is a penalty served and that should mean that you are absolved of your treachery..or "accidental contact"

yeah kelly is a f**knuckle. poor lowndes.

I was shocked by tanders behaviour. I would have thought that kind of stuff would be beneath him. clearly I was wrong. shame, shame, shame.

The boos almost drowned out kellys victory speech.

I have never liked holden since they destroyed the 24hr at Bathurst. They are clearly the trash of the two sides. Murphy is an idiot and this kelly is no better.

The incar showed him clearly taking him out, then the rest of the boneheads behind them bumping into each other following this cheap shot by kelly. I mean they are heading down a hill, cant they see that there is something going on just in front of their noses?

This is another reason why V8SC cannot be taken seriously, cheap shots, amatuer driving, poor dicisions by officials. I was watching the GT racing before the V8's and you can see a clear difference between them.

that's my rant..

Oh well, when you spend your whole life being the spastic ugly smashmouthed spoilt kid you tend to act out.

There was some great racing before but the entire season has now been ruined by the petulant and underhanded tactics of Tander and Kelly. R. (doesn't Rick usually become "Dick"???) I had respect for Tander once, but no more. It's a pity we never got to see if Kelly actually had Lowndes pace in the final race but as it stood he was clearly in no chance of winning without some other "intervention".

At the end of the day he will neither be as popular, talented or as gracious a champion as Lowndes has been.

I remain disgusted by the V8 Super circus.

At th eend of the day, i think both Kelly brothers struggles for pace when they first fronted the V8 grid, but after some races and tuition form team mates there is no doubt they are talented guys.

But, for Kelly to win the championship. He admitted to planning on going out and collecting points. Tander in my eyes deserved to win the championship, and if he had i would not have cared. But Kelly? Man, thank god they are changing the points system.

Actually, i wont be surprised if he is excluded fromn the results...and on count back Lowndes wins. I dont want to see it, but could happen.

I did read there was talk that Tander could be on the move....lol, they actually want to put the Kelly brothers in the same team?

In my mind Tander's efforts were far worst than Kellys display, which could be take a few ways... but had the DJR car not cause such damage to Lowndes car, with the Kelly drive-through factored in everyone could have enjoyed some actual racing instead of the poor performance we actually saw... how anti climatic.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
