Just got informed from my mate's GF who I've been coaching/training for tournaments, that she's pulling out of the National Titles in December. She's done so well to snatch first placings in the last two State tournaments (under my training) and was a favourite for the Aussie Title. Bit disappointing her decision, but I can't say I blame her. I'd be a hypocrite, seeing as I did the same thing some years ago.

Just like me, she's had a gutful of the bullshit rules, poor refereeing and political BS surrounding the tournaments. SA has a weak platform and nothing has changed in the 6-7 years when I walked away. Anyways, I've invited her to my school and that way she can compete in some (tougher) contact tournaments. Pressure will be on me now :) JKA/AKF tournaments are tougher ... but she's got bigger balls than most guys I know. She'll tough it out. Hope she enjoys regular medical bills ;)

SA doesn't just have a weak structure for car clubs ... we also have weak sporting federations, at least the ones I've been involved with anyway :)

NAS = fail :)

JKA = win :(

bah, that's why we have UFC!!

Tito Cortiz used to be my favourite fighter but he went soft & developed a hollywood ego once he started going out with Jenna Jamieson (porn star).......not to mention being dropped by his manager, so now he rubbishes the sport that made him.

However, BJ Penn is now my new fave and even though he is nothing to look at, he is all heart and one of the best street fighters I've ever seen....CLICK

as i was driving home from work on days road i was doing like 52-53kph? it's a 50 road but anyway this truck was going up my ass the whole way beeping! i stuck my finger up at him and got so close i couldn't even see the driver, just a number plate and huge grill! fkn truckies think they rule the road or something

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
