I pick up my old race bike soon ...

But can't race it yet :(

Got some top news from a good mate ... :):D:thanks:

Just got off the phone to a mate of mine (engineer/guru/mad scientist) who is throwing some cash my way to get me back into racing on 250cc bikes!!! How cool is that.

He's a pommy Einstein with bikes and use to race proddies (250cc) in the UK. He's taking delivery of my race bike this weekend and setting it up for the Mallala circuit over the next couple of weeks. This might also include a strenthened bottom end, race exhaust system, and rejetting. Excited much? :(

Problem is ... I'm working in Victoria (Phillip Island) for the V8 Supercars and MotoGP over the next few months ... so I can't be there to help set it up. So its kinda handy he's helping out in a big way :D But he's a skinny runt at 70kg and I'm 85kg!

My first session on it might be early December. Racing season starts February 2010. Not really much time when you think about it. ... now where's that mountain bike?

i bought a sticker for my car off ebay. it says '100% jesus.'

im so gonna win a best graphics award at the christian car show.

:)

In other news... Here are some new plates destined for my mates turbo Starlet that some of you may remember from the SASupra dyno day (looking at you Dave)

    • 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.
