Watch a bit of the Bathurst 12 hour race, quite a good mix, Evos, STIs, Holdens Mazdas and BMW. Have to say, there are days when Evos really really piss me off because it's so bullshit fast around the corners but it's good to see them owning the holdens and european cars.

Where are all the GTRs????

omg did you see that Mazda MPS.. the blue Thrifty one.. loose it and flip?!?!! I counted 9 times, and the guy was just a bit unsteady on his feet but was fine!

The whole engine fell out! lol

< owch

Saw that the other day on some show. The last lap of his last race and that happened to him!! They said he spent 3 hours totally blind lying in hospital...what a way to end ya career!!!!

GTRs are in front of the evos but not invited because they have to be less than 5 years old :D

here's a pic from oran park last year :)

the thrifty mazda was racing that day too, but he did better than he did at bathurst. ouch.

this was run a few weeks back and they showed the crash on sports tonight that night.

I thought it was funny a Satria GTi did more laps than a GT-P. Cubes aint everything.

you obviously weren't paying attention to the fact that the GT-P spent about an hour in the pits after the front seal on the diff let go and dumped all the oil out.

Just thought it was funny as i work in a dealership with both ford and proton. normally all the ford guys hang shit on the protons all day. Was good to see it the other way round for once. Falcon diffs are crap anyway.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
