when were you sneek off to oran park mate, pit crew?

Yeh mate, helping my mate with his Saloon Car, will be on Speedweek on the 12th Nov i think. if you watch it he's #80 in a falcon! Left Thursday morning at 4am towing the car, and got back 8am Monday, you could say a quick trip! :happy:

I could have got some silver tint but it would have cost alot more than i paid ;)

Some of the guys at wynns can do some great tint jobs. i'll try and get some pictures of our tinters car when he gets it back. he has silver tint with flames cut out and red tint for the flames

just thought id mention im an idiot

left my lights on 2day 4 some reason

went 2 jump start my car

and somehow put leads on wrong way and by the time i realised the leads were melting, i heard weird noises n smoke everywhere lol

then it took about an hour afta i started the car for everything to seem to go bk 2 normal. my alarm was making wierd noises but then started working again after a while

any1 know if i would have done anything bad to the car? would have been connected for about 15 secs.

that doesnt sound good at all mate. but to put your mine at ease, an alarm making funny noise is a concern. although mine played up a while back in winter just before i fried my starter motor but its fine now.

been driving all day 2day, seems ok.

although i think ive detuned it, it really laggy and loose power over 4.5k

time 4 a tuneeeee

also need to get front pads, any1 know the type they r, cos every time i go mechanic he had to take them off, trace them and fax 2 his supplier 2 get the right ones in, so i wana know wat type so i can go get the myself

lol your lucky.. I bought a new battery, bloke asked me what side i want the positive I said top right. Got home, it was going dark, couldn't see too well hooked battery up. Upon touching the last terminal i saw a big spark and a big crack noise from the fuse box.

Blown powerfc, blew multiple cheap fuses under the dash and an expensive $35 75amp fuse in the fuse box.

It was a cheap batter so it had the + and - pressed in to the top plastic, so not easy to see at night. :P

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
