Went to the Monster Trucks last night; free family ticket. Glad we didn't pay. :S

Extremely disappointed with the show. WEAK is the word. :(

Wayville showgrounds is a terrible venue to host Monster trucks as they are not allowed to rip up the grass so they are stuck to the outer ring which has limited space so no decent jumps races etc.

One rolled it which was cool to watch but apart from that it was an extremely weak show compared to MT events held at other Venues. :)

Was Grant Denyer driving the trucks? :D

first time out at lala in the new s13 for me and my mate (co-owners)

was so much fun! spund out heaps and the under carage might have a few more dings init thanks to the ripple strips but was still awsome fun!

cant wait to go back out there again!

I must say i was expecting more at Monster trucks.... but i still loved it!!!! the demolition derby was funny as!!!!

as a retired demo drive there more too be in than watch lol .

iv been in about 6 or 7 of them back in the days when v8 falcons and full chassis toyota crowns was the go . i even totaled a studibaker lark in one lol . ive been rolled crunched and had one catch fire but never won one was the second to last car running in one but got pounded in too submission lol . watched one up murry bridge speedway the other week a guy come out in a vn commy wagon it lasted 2 hits b4 the front end fell out of it .

I know alot of you arent really into cricket.

Im buying a MRF bat from india. real with mrf hologram.

anyone used these bats before ? I know they are thick. but I hope they arent too heavy.

watch out buying from overseas, unless its from a reputable dealer. often bats can be held in customs and need to be fumigated etc, and youll get the bill!

Yep I heard about that.

This bat will pass through so they say. Australia is one of their biggest buyers so I think they have it all down pat.

clutches never just shit them selves, every clutch ive done has had 1-2 months worth of driving in it

Haha my old button clutch did, was working fine, then all of a sudden i took off in 1st and it wouldnt go into second, clutch was farked.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
