Of course its still happening.

There is no reason it wont be going ahead.

I dont think ill be there the way things are going.

All due to sh|tbox cars like snowys, irish & handbags.

What happens if it rains? :P

Will Heathcote cancel it? or will they dry the track with the convertible Corona and leaf blowers?

Gate action from my car will heb used to dry the track :cheers:

lol the datto will throw a few flames down as well.

Depends whether its a quick shower or decent rain, if its only real light they should be able to dry the track, however if it gets too wet they will obviously cancel it.

There is no promise with weather, its impossible.

But if its raining in Melb, that doesnt mean it is in Heathcote.

In the past 6 times i've been @ heathcote.

Raining here in Melb and by the time i get upto the track to watch etc etc. Its totally dry up there and no rain :D

The track can be dried, same as calder when it rains there aswell.

I hope your car isnt as fast as Scotsmans :D

Roy,

Going on his sig....12.10at 119mph But dont hold me to that..

Yep last time I went down the 1/4, I got 12.1 @ 119. But that was on the old std engine with std turbs. Car was 250kw then, it's now 310kw.

But it's not a drag car in any form. When Bris says 'fast' he is just stiring. The car is fast around corners. But with negative camber and such it's not going to be much faster than a 12 flat or 11.9ish down the strip.

Anyway, it will be fun regarless.

That is you can get any traction at all there, last time i was there i couldn't get any traction, it was stupid, spinning all 4 wheels no matter how i took off all the way through 1st and 2nd....

    • 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.
