Premier State Rally Special Stage, 6pm 4/7/03, Eastern creek


Recommended Posts

Yeah... and the drifting effort was pretty poor through turn 2... I spose they were going for lap times... and backwards around the track... but shit... they are FRIGGIN RALLY DRIVERS...

Would have been good to see the gravel stage... so what if it has turned to a mud stage due to a weeks rain???

Pete was drunk I say...

benm I called the 04gotskank number and geez it sounded like Tosh on the other end.....

Yeah it wasn't too spectator friendly. The one I went to in Canberra at the stadium a few years ago was great.

It would be great to see something similar at Homebush.

Hmm, can you say uuunnndddeeerrrsssttteeeeeerrr..

some of the guys that were running soft compound rally tyres were having heaps of problems on the skidpan. The guys with the bigger budgets / tyre sponsorships were running a road based tyre, so they seemed to fair better (stage times showed this too)

I was pissed off that they canned the gravel stage, (we had a great media point scoped out) but I had a look at some sections and seriously, the track was really bad.

Lucky for Cody that they gravel section was canned as originally the service after the first Tarmac run was a tyre change only, but as they ran the tarmac stage twice instead, they made it a 20 min service - so he was able to change his gearbox.. (well, his crew was able to anyway :D )

lol yeah I don't think I've ever seen a rally car understeer before :confused: :bahaha:

I guess it's fair enough about the track. Damn Sydney weather...we don't get any rain for months when we need it, then this. :D

    • 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.
