Well - actually - I have been to AUS well over 20 times and have another business in SYD - I have been a racing fan for many years and I love AUS - Port Douglas used to be my favorite haunt until investors set it - and no I do not know what you are refering to - but my website is dedicated to the upcoming stars over here - and Marcos is one hell of a great guy. You should all be proud!

Check up on you're mate now and then - he's giving it a great go

'Ambrose'

And yes we like him too... well now we do, when he was fighting with Murph up on the mountain he was being an arse... but i dont expect you'll know what im talking about, so carry on

Being an arse must = taking issue with Murph for being his typical F-wit self. :)

If your ingterested in a crew position with NASCAR = go to www.thehotlap.com and look at forum NEW BUSCH TEAM

Might be an opportunity for any of you in that position

To be honest I've been following Marcos Ambrose this season in NASCAR and surprisingly it has got me interested in NASCAR. Ambrose is currently 10th in the Busch series standings and 2nd rookie. He's had a couple of bad rounds the last few weeks but this week they race on the F1 circuit in Montreal and next week is Watkins Glen... a couple of road courses should be good for him.

Seriously as a fan of all motorsports I never thought I could ever like NASCAR... dinosaur cars (still with carbies), circle racing, etc. But this year (I have Foxtel) I've found it 10 times more interesting than V8supercars or F1. Still can't watch a whole circle race start to finish but they pass each other so many times on a lap... and they race week in week out. In F1 they qualify in position then spread out over the race with the occasional pass in the pits (last weeks race excluded).

Go Ambrose.

all i will say ... that following him in the busch series is like watching another bloke .... He shows respect in NASCAR while in our SUPA V8 series he acted constantly like a whining kid.

wonder if the yanks know about his little extra wire hanging out the motec m800 >_<

Good luck to him

LOL you ran out of people to quote, so you quoted yourself

awesome

I guess that was prety lame - LOL

Having good fun anyway. I'm very interested in the V8 Supercar series over there - can anyone point me to a good website so I can follow it around and check things out. Least I can do for everyone following Ambros over here and www.thehotlap.com

I will be down under sometime in March or late February and would love to go to a race - in fact I will make it a point.

Cheers

Yeah I was never a fan of oval racing until last year when we got to race on the dome at Calder Park as part of the Calder Rally Masters. Going flat out around there was intense and that was 1 car out at at time. So doing it with other cars 5cm's away all around you must take some serious big ones.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
