very nice indeed! some great moves there. It must have been reverse grid, or some quali problems because he seemed much better than the guys in front, but none the less there were some awesome passes in there. I liked the round the outside of the black one, but it's hard to pick a standout.

ok.. thats just suicide!

I go to uni at bathurst.. (all of 200m away from corner 1 of the track).. and these things are FREAKING LOUD!

After driving many times around the mountain.. (and even chasing an Eleise funnely enough) around the mountain.. Videos do not do some of the corners, climbs/decents justice.. the corner just before conrod.. is absolutely BALL BREAKING! .. clearly.. cos the driver lost his ..

not lacking power going up the hill, he just got a poor exit from the first corner because he went so late under brakes....not that it caused him much trouble for the rest of the lap lol.

Dean is a good driver but unlike the rest of them had raced at Bathrust before - need to remember most of those guys were first timers in their own cars - he was experienced and in a borrowed car ;)

no same name different guy - this dean evens is the editor of motor mag and has done a fair bit of racing...I met the other DE at Targa not the same bloke.

Dan...re your question.....the answer is they don't not hit each other. Side on/full body hits don't do much damage or unsettle the car too much, its when you hit one quarter panel it all goes bad....

I'd say it might be easier on the panel beaters if they were all the same colour :unsure: there must be a lot of paint swapping going on. Looks like fun tho, would someone lend me a car?

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
