Sad to see hear and see footage of 'Chopper's' Tuff XBRACER Coupe smashed up in Targa today!! I did see it lay a nice patch at Longford this morning!!

Heard all about it but haven't seen any pics of the car as yet :action-smiley-069:

Im sure that Eric and his crew would be pretty upset with the outcome :P

yup. Saw the Just Jap R32 roll down a 50m drop during the fern glade section on sat arvo.

Doesn't sound too nice, any pics???

Ricky moved his leg out of the way, he figured it would be rough, even though, it still niped the side, badly bruised and black, about 4 sizezs bigger. LOL.

The car is stuffed, not worth repearing, so a new car is already started, teh new shell will be stripped out this weekend, ready for some seam welding and then upwards from there. TARGA bit hard this year, bugga.

    • 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.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
