well they better wait until fnf3 is finished ;)

for some reason a mustang with and rb26 drift racing a turbo z down a mountain seems more realistic than a ford vs holden commodore race in the middle of a desert half a world away...

yeah i agree I like this guy. I like the factual tone "eg Winterbottom turned tander aroudn yesterday". crompton would either not mention it or take the edge off it not to offend anyone. the new guy is refreshingly straight up.

I'm sure he'll be gone once we are back in aus though.

BTW just saw a shot of the grandstand. didn't see a single person in it. maybe they are all drinking beer on the hill instead?

yep, bad weekend for HRT. can't get much worse when one team mate takes out the other, and they were already down to about 14th to begin with! :ninja: poor skaifey not exactly having a dream run to the end of his career. I wouldn't mind seeing skaife get a dig as a commentator.

and I really liked the pommy bloke they had alongside cromley. where has he been hiding the last 10 months of this year? he was great, finally a very proffesional commentator who called it like it was.

the racing was pretty good too. turns 1-4 made from some great moves and counter moves.

as usual there were more people racing and working on the cars than there were watching in the stands, but it was a good race none the less. cockrant really is a tool though isn't he. flogging his bloody V8 book. fk off buddy.

Did anyone see larry's blow up?

Not sure what had happened to cause it, cause i happened to change just as the interview in the pits started, but he was absolutely going off at the "morons" from CAMS who were the officials.

I think it was something to do with the saftey car.

In race one the safety car got scrambled - just not infront of the race leader as is preferred & usual. Toddler overtook the safety car & got a drive through because of it.

You need a micrometer to measure Larry's fuse when it comes to CAMS & so he gave them a spray.

He was going off at the officials because of the way they 'scrambled' the safety car even though his own driver overtook the safety car whilst it's lights were on without being called through (and came very close to side-swiping it) so I see no problems with Todd Kelly getting his drive-thru actually I believe Lowndes should have got a drive-thru also.

well bit of a tough call when they are already at 100% braking into that corner, then they chuck a safety car out in front of them.

plus if the first 2 cars have been let through and I was third I would be very tempted to follow them too. as it merges out of the pit lane when do you decide its in front of you vs still joining the track

I agree with what you say, it was all abit crazy but seriously how difficult is it to deploy a safety car and get it right. It's not as if the whole safety car concept was created a month ago it's been happening since day dot.

Just noticed the ticket prices for general admission at Oran Park, Saturday = $54 and Sunday = $64.

And they wonder why spectator numbers are down compared to years ago...

But compared to what? Costs that to go to the cricket for a day. Most concerts are more expensive etc etc.

i reckon that's pretty fair. F1 GA is dobule that and literally 10 times that if you want a stand ticket.

given the level of event i tink the price is pretty appropriate.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
