LOL i bet she was nice to her pit crew and staff... be stupid not to.

And aggressive driving is one thing, having a much better car than most (if not all) the competitors at the time and still feeling the need to literally drive two other guys completely off the track is another. The boo's she gets when people recognice her around Albert park still make me LOL

Albert Park?

There's your answer right there. Melbourne is full of haters made worse by the miserable one day - sh*thouse the next weather. Sif anyone takes notice of what you guys like Down There......:)

And a big revup to Lowndsey too. If you aren't going for the win mate then payback to the Toll HSV cretins for last year at the Island.

meh nice to drive maybe.

but too smooth, camber is correct on almost every corner....they just dont make enough mistakes. these guys will cruise around in their current positions for the next 14 laps.

Me neither but Perkins Engineering needs a half way talented driver.

Now I am not saying that Price or Perkins won't get there, but...

If you look at who was last in the points standings (for teams) you get BOC.

They are getting two new Walkinshaw built cars & McConkers next year. So things are looking up for them.

Next line line is the Perkins team. Second last. Beaten by WPS, PWR etc etc.

So clearly they need someone or something new. I am just not sure of the four HRT/HSV drivers Toddler deserved that fate.

Anyway who is getting the second HSVDT seat. Surely not Dumbrell?????

Having viewed the races from the Triple 8 garages and met the team...all i can say they are a team of champions from the drivers down through to the mechanics and staff. They were always smiling, happy and not winging carrying on even when Lowndes was strangley given a bad sportmanship flag in one of the races.

And the way Craig conducts himself over a race weekend should be commended, it seems the long lines for autographs reflects his No.1 status as most liked driver.

Like Geoff said, Tander at PI last year means i have lost all respect for the guy, and im told that on TV you could hear him winge and carry on when Lowndes got past him in the last race :P Oh well, fingers crossed in 2008 we get a champion that i dont want to egg :P

I'll agree with Troy and GTRgoeff in saying that the 888 guys are very nice people, as i have talked to a couple of the guys met through work. And Lowndes has always been one of my fav drivers although im still yet to meet him...until friday that is, i've got V8 Supercars hot laps session with 888 :laughing-smiley-014: Cant wait, half a day off AND go racing around in a 635hp Supercar

Whilst I agree with you sentiments according to the current issue of Auto Fiction 888 arced up big time about the flag waved at Lowndes on Saturday. As in tried to get the IPO chucked out of a job.

Anyway, why has Ross Stone not called yet?

Well i have not read what Auto Action have printed but i was in their pit all weekend...and saw or heard no such thing?!?!?!

Having spent a fair amount of my weekend in with Campbell Little and half the 888 crew at sandown i totally agree with you Troy, There are some absolute top blokes in there. And they showed they can engineer anything with Alan Simonsen and Tim Leahey winning the 3.5Hr race by 3 laps!!

Some big upsets in the V8's for next year with sponsors changing teams at the last minute, Drivers contracted to the sponsorship changing team (and manufacturers in some circumstances)

PCR will be starting the year with Lowndes car from this year, at this stage it will be another rookie for the team. I can't figure out why, but Paul pays the bills so he can put in who he likes.

Troy you will be happy to know it looks like MRs Tander will be leaving Australian Motorsport to compete in the Asian F3 series next year. She had a successful test last week in Sepang.

Ford has also stopped supplying BF chassis as they are starting the engineering of the Orion chassis and are hoping to have them out by the middle of next year.

Heard a few more thing that i can't say other wise i'll be in deeeeep shit

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
