Ferni...I remember from the last round and the vid that jack posted up that he had his IR receiver on the passenger side door which would suggest that the transmitter is on the other side.

You would've got your lap timer by now so you might be able to clarify this but all you need for the transmitter is a power source right? Either way I have no option but to have it on the drivers side due to the cable length.

Yeah, snowy is going to extend them... It didn't even occur to me they would be for bikes, i bet if we told them it was for a car we would of got the longer one.. o well i'm sure snowy will figure it out, working for a cable and wire company and all :O

As for the transmitter, yeah just 8 AA batteries inside, or 12v external powersource from somewhere... not sure what they usually use? Would AA batteries last all day? I guess so.

Shit, i need tyres, brake pads and need to do something about the gearbox spewing out fluid at high speed. Shocks are still sitting on the docks of Kobe >_<

So this will be the last time i drive the car with the Bislteins for a while. With new tyres and pads i may wind the boost up and see how low into the 1:22s i can go. There is a 1:21 in it but i dont know if i can put that good a lap together without ironing out the suspension better. But i have been watching my vids carefully and know i am losing time when i spin off and hit walls :laugh:

HAAAAA ! :laughing-smiley-014: Gold dude, GOLD ! I think I nearly pooped my pants laughing just then, at least You've got a sense'O humour about it eh?

WHY would people go and schedule motorsports events on the long weekend? Don't they know I've got an engagement party, and mates-back-up-home reunion thing happening ? ? I wanted to go car-whore at Phillip Island for the Vic champs too, Gee-Gosh I like those sports sedans! >_<

Have fun guys, I'm out.. >_<

I haven't taken time off for almost 3 years so I'm going away for the weekend...

Looks like Aaron will take this one, unless Snowy or Scotsman pull something out of the hat!!!!

Troy, don't push for that 1:21, it may be out of reach for the time being...

If i front the 2.5k for tyres, pads and fuel....i will be trying my little heart out. I will be happy with a few laps in the 1:22s, but i need just one lap where i get into the 21s. If i grab 3rd through turn 1. 4th up to Dandenong. And use max revs i think the car can do it >_< Its just that the car is a drift machine when i use those gears...hopefully there may be a little truth to the poor rear grip and gearbox fluid thing and i may find some of the lost grip????

Not having a serious go at you Hardman but that's the softest excuse for not attending a motorsport day I have ever heard.

There are only 2 excuses accepted by your peers and they are:

1. My car is broken.

2. I have to attend my own funeral.

Soft.

As for scheduling over a long weekend, we take what we can get.

Awesome Snowie....if you can do mine at the same time that would be great....just let me know when and where :/

Ferni....I didn't have a close look....if thats the case why can't we set one up on the drivers side of the circuit and just run the IR receiver to point through the drivers side window?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
