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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
