Ahahahaha. Looks like it'll be a heap of fun. As usual.

So the Banana didn't leave a firey trail behind it?

Lol no the banana hasnt lit any fires yet :P

Na Massive thanks to Ray and RE customs for all their work on my car over the past 6 Months...

some of you may know i blew a turbo at Sandown... With some issues getting parts out of japan and then me ordering the wrong stuff we finally got the car running and making some good power.....

Monday i found the car to be leaking fuel and not at any LOW rate.... So a huge thanx to ray and the RE Crew for getting my car in at about Midday Wednesday and replacing my fuel lines which has split near the tank, in time for me to get the car to the GP....

And Rosco all i wanted to do was gate it in that tunnel but thought i might deafen someone if i went down that path :)

Great to see the big turn out from SAU. Yesterday was rather quiet i only managed to bump into Al and meet Dave (Leewah) but hoping to meet a few of you's on the w.e. Make sure you all come and say hi, i'm the little asian guy parked next to the Autosalon marque :)

You probably cant get in the tunnel during the event as I think you need a management pass but being in their when the Jets fly over is insane. It echo's through the tunnel and is so much louder than the F1 cars.

I miss driving round the course on a golf buggy. If I was still working there I would have put an SAU sticker on the golf buggy and parked it at the stand :)

It's waaaaaaaay too hot. Don't think I'll go today but will be there for the weekend.

Went in yesterday for a few hours. Watched the V8s, Porkas and the Aust GT cars go round a bit. The DBS is one of the hottest looking cars EVER!!!!

Ditto. After yesterday, I don't think I could handle todays heat.

Aust GT Cars are awesome!

    • 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.
