give the big boys hell tomorrow dave. yeah no practice for me either which is a shame because i wanted to try out gary's new shocks.

the a048's are going to suck against the guys on slicks once they get going. I'd bring some slicks along for you guys but I've only got 3, wrecked one when the caster rod broke

still, should be good to see how you go, I was OK to take 2 rows of the grid so you should be able to do at least that with the power you have now. Its a shame they wised up after a few races and started going sideways on the start to cut me off.

[giant]

bloody hell, they will be pissed if you beat of semi's ! that would be good to see! hehe

[Neil]

lol I think that is what they are trying to get on top of Andrew.

New shocks are in after 1am this morning (and thanks for providing the cold cold garage and help Neil ),

No probs buddy,,,I wasn't cold but then again I did all the hard work. I gotta love ya style though,,,just a quick shock change turns into rear arm changes as well ya bastard.

If you hadn't sat there drinking and lazing around talking shit it would have been finished straight after dinner. lucky for me you don't smoke or nothing would have happened.

Lofty just pick the sportys off one by one,,,most are un-reliable old girls and come Sunday arvo you could well be kicking some big arses. Semi's at E/C will be interesting.

ummmm anyone planning to go out specifically to see Duncan race shouldn't

i'll let him post details later but we're out for the weekend

looks like Dave also had some problems in qualifying- hope it all got sorted so there's at least one Skyline still running this weekend.

*cries*

[Merli]

ummmm anyone planning to go out specifically to see Duncan race shouldn't

Doh

I was going to pop out tomorrow morning and watch the first race

i'll let him post details later but we're out for the weekend

Doesn't sound too bad, if it's only one weekend you'll have to miss.. That rules out a whole list of potential boo-boos

[Duncan]

yeah this particular weekend didn't go as well as last. 99% sure its got a spun big end bearing. the oil pressure was never right on that motor so maybe next time. even worse, the commodores are going pretty quick at eastern creek 1.48 and I don't think the car was sorted well enough to get close to them. but we will be back...again....

looks like lofty had a bad weekend too....not great for skylines all up

[Duncan]

haha 1 minute too quick andrew....its deader than a dodo. we are out for next round as well (4 weeks) but will be back for the round after that with a bit of luck. We need to "discuss" some things about this motor with the machine shop first

[Neil]

Out to dinner is great,,,but no tomorrow sucks,,,, I hate GTR's.

Neil.

[Merli]

[Duncan]

speaking of which neil...wtf are you!

[Kinks]

We need to "discuss" some things about this motor with the machine shop first

Sure sounds like it!

Man that really sucks, sorry to hear it.

[benm]

From memory you did a 1.50 and a 1.52 before you came to a rest.

First flying lap of the BSM gtr was a 1.42

[giant]

sorry to hear that dunc, it certainly is a love hate relationship with skylines sometimes!

[Merli]

we are out for next round as well

Doh, you miss out on an Oran round

[lofty]

hi

we had a shocker, only got 1 flyer and was still warming her up but it spun a bearing too.

We have built another engine up and its ready to race I was happy with 1st lap being a 143.00

but sunday will be fun from the rear of grid.

BSM

[Duncan]

ahh meh shit happens soetimes. you need deeper pocketrs than mine to rutn thesecars.

dave, if you got a 1.42 that is a good start, that car has a lot of potential as a sports sedan and i reckon if jeff has the time andmoney to persevetr with it you can make the same sort of impact as yuo did in IP and production cars. hope he gives it a shot

[Duncan]

good to hear dave I wish nmy spare motor was ready. althogh i might be a bit under the westher tomorrow. best of luck I'm sure you can grab 2-4 spots off the start.

surprised to hear it was a bearing though it looked like rings to me for sure? a lot of the black stuff came out, at least like my car it will never rust under there

[Kel]

heh heh did anyone pick that someone was quite Drunkan when posting last night
