hahah taking the high line thru the corner eh?

I guess the wheel alignment was not 100% after that. Glad your dad was ok though.

Surprisinly the alignment was fine, did slice a tyre open though.

i went for a run the r35 v8sc safety car on sunday prior to the start of racing, was pretty cool, but seriously how many flashing lights does one car need!

yeah those lights are a bit of overkill - you're not likely to miss a 35 in a field full of taxis :P

sounds like the targa cars were well received?

didn't touch the wall thankfully.

Kel: everyone loved the targa cars, we had heaps of people come up to us in the pits and say we were the best support catigory. some people came just to watch the targa class.

That's really good to hear Ben (on both counts!)

Congrats to Stu and the team on another great initiative for Targa.

sorry for the crap phone pics, but theres been some progress on the evo again finally!

looks pretty cool sitting low on the new coilovers i think.

just waiting on some new caliper pistons and seals, the front seats and we should be right to play (with a windscreen)... special thanks to monty my dog for all his help and downing my boost chocie bar on the sly!

I got there about 8:30am on saturday morning and the R35, a GTP and the Cayenne Medical car were doing laps, man the 35 was impressive!!! GTP was nothing special (had 5 people in the car) but the Cayenne OMG! braking deep into the hairpin and by christ it was fast out!

didn't touch the wall thankfully.

Yeh definately most enjoyable class!!!

Bloody hell Benny, that 33 has been copping a pizzling lately! Might be time to retire her to Speedway racing I reckon :D

Funnily enough his uncle races speedway!

My vet tells me that chocolate is cumulative in doggies (much like mercury is cumulative in humans)... They can't process it and get rid of it and it can be harmful if enough choco goodies are ingested.

That's why they have carob drops, and not chocolate drops for doggahs!

Just an FYI :D

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
