well his partner at the time he died is all for it, mick hone his co driver is also all for it.

that HERALD SUN article seems to be a poorly edited version of the full story in MOTORSPORT news or something like that i read a week ago.

BROCK was the DAYTONA's number 1 fan and loved the culture that it invoked, those who knew BROCK the most and how he felt about the DAYTONA believe he would want it displayed for the awesome car it was not the car that claimed his life.

May sound a little morbid but i think they should show the car and not a replica. when people go to the museum and see the car they can think that was HIS car. not just a replica. If they do put a replica in the museum, what would they do with the real car?

Let it go, dont repair it, but dont wreck it. It is just so wrong to charge money to see it but, it would be like charging for admission into a cemetary. I personally would not go and see it, even if it was free to see.

The museum is in his honour, apparently. So it should have several of his cars. In which case, every car he's competed in belongs there (assuming the museum can obtain it).

Whether he died in it or not shouldn't matter. If it was just the one car by itself in a situation just about his death, then its in poor taste. But if its about his entire life, his beginning and his end are more than apt.

As for "cashing in", that's just typical News Limited bullshit. A lot of museums charge entry. Why should this one be any different? You have to pay to get in to the National Art Gallery in Canberra, which was set up on taxpayer's money yet its not as hyperbolic to go around accusing the curators of "cashing in" on hard working, true blue, taxpaying Australians when it comes to that.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
