Troy - I'd do it, but i'm to scared of your car, it just randomly spins for no reason!

The reason is the tool behind the wheel was doing a whole number of things wrong. From driving a car with bad suspension too hard, too not paying more attention to overfilling the gearbox, not paying someone like Racepace to maintain the car... to well just driving like a tool. Thats what the carrot of a 1:22 at Sandown does to me. Imagine how much trouble i have when a shiela gets her kit off in front of me.... I'm way too exceitable :closedeyes:

James isn't allowed to punt the Aston hard or else he'll get fired.... Still - there's worse things in the world than being paid to drive an Aston around for 3 days even if you can't drive it 10/10th.

There is a new "Teams" competition this year and I think we'll have to form Team Racepace in Vic :(

Is this the V8 Vantage owned by a Tassie dentist that was in Targa Tas this year? Or could it be the DB9R recently imported for Nations Cup?

Both sweeeeet sounding Motor Cars sir!

Well i'd be perfect, i never drive 10/10th.... :D

What's with the "teams' competition? Team racepace FTW!

Very true mate, and that's how I originally was going to go but I began to worry about all these SR's and how old they were getting and thought it may not be as easy as that in the coming years, so I went the new engine route. A 1:21 will be awesome for a gts-t, let alone a standard engined one!

Well after day 1 James Ward leads Class A for co-drivers and finds himself 4th outright on handicap points. Not bad for a hack.

And as expected giants R32 GT-R is slaughtering the field in the main competition.

If he gets a trophy on merit! Be pretty cool. But the NSW rally must be pretty weak if a pampered Supercar is allowing him to come 4th outright

Wooh - trophy on merit! Trophy on merit! :wub:

The Aston did a great job all weekend. Never missed a beat and looked and sounded great every day.

I won Class A co-driver and came 4th co-driver outright handicap (I can handle being beaten by Russ, a GT2 and a Carrera RS).

Great event - Eastern Creek Sunday was a standout - and as always, great people involved.

Car is filthy and I'm knackered.

Time to put a report together for the boss...

Congrats to Mark and Russ on another awesome performance. GT-R's finishing 1st and 3rd as well. Not bad for cars designed in the 80's. Although I still can't believe Mark got beaten at all the track events. That GT2 must have been awesome with a handy driver to boot.

And well done to the Hack King James for winning his class in the Aston Martin. It seems this last 6 months of motorsport has turned you into a bit of a driver.

    • 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.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
