Darren looks like i could be standing on the side at the Sandown 500 ;)

JB's thoughtful team manager sold his car 2 weeks before the race so he's out of a ride for the race and next year :(

Damn man thats gotta suck for him and you!! Not even sure if we are going in 2 weeks yet!! We are drumming up some sponsorship with a guy that worked for Mclaren F1 and has since retired back here! He's looking at starting up a F3 team, Hopefully for us this come thru, we will see!! Whats JB gonna be doing now?? Has he any plans?? He must own a car himself to race surely!!

Yeh nice sounds like you beast is coming along quite well then!!

Yeh the prac day didn't turn out the best, but hey, I think it might take a while for people to get into the whole club thing, and especially people not wanting to drive out to Mallala, but meh! I drive there prob at least 20 times a year if not more!!

Well mines still going so thats a good thing, NO defects, NO speeding fines, NO cop hastles at all, NO crashes and NO attempted breakins anymore!! i am touching wood whilst i say this tho!

There was a few that rocked up, personally i didn't even go over there because we were working on the race car elsewhere in the pits, did speak with Steve out there. I'm sure the club will be fine, as you would know not everyone in the club will be interested in track days, driving or watching!!

Yeh Mallala isn't that far at all, people just think it's in the middle of nowhere, which it is but just about 45min from CBD!!

Hour and a half until i taste the sweet sweet flavours of BEER!!

Anyone going to the Classic Adelaide Street Party tonight??

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
