Thanks mate :) I spoke with Russ earlier about sharing his evo5, but he suggested we both use the R35...... navigate alternately for eachother. So we're in with a chance :D

Excellent. That's good news Ben. I hope you can make it.

Thanks Coop, hope to mate :D

Well done to all at Rally Tas on the weekend, Kel especially. Good time had by most by all accounts, Kel, good stuff :) Great to see Quinny through for a win too :ermm:

Someone who's spec C didn't finish the event too flash :) ;

Rolled big time, 7 to 8 times, crew ok

Bloody hell, 7 rolls over - as long as he's ok!

Quick question though; why would you run a spec c rex, or a type RA etc over a normal STi in Targa - they're all the same mechanicals arent they? Unless some JDM models get a significant HP increase...

Thanks Coop, hope to mate ;)

I will have to find my carnage pics and post! There was plenty of it, especially on Savage which should bring back memories Benny ;)

Anyone who came off this weekend didn't do it by halves that's for sure.

And thanks for the congrats- I had an awesome weekend and was just happy to finish - top 5 was a bonus.

It was brilliant to see Quinny win - he fought hard for it and deserved it, especially considering he is running a relatively 'undeveloped' car with road tyres.

Better get your finger out and get that 35 ready for Targa Tas Russ :)

PS: Hats off to Timmy- teh master navi!

Yeh how rediculous was it that they continued the stage even after that mazda crashed in a big way and was taking up 3/4 of the road. And the fact that the crew were standing on the outside of a corner carrying on like headless chickens it was enough to startle you!

I can definately say my weekend was probably one of the more interesting ones, I learn't ALOT over the weekend and met ALOT of great people. Kel your a champ! and a caring one at that!

It was a worthwhile experience and I think I taught my driver alot in the three days, so hopefully it helps him in further rallies. It felt a bit weird being the master as opposed to the apprentice.

Im looking more and more forward to Targa and futher rallies this year and hopefully some good news!

What is AASA? Austrailian Auto Sport Accosiation? All i really know is CAMS because all the events up this way are all cams events.

There is no way my car will meet the M2 catigory at all cause it fails on about 10 criteria for being over modified but i'm told by Some people i've talked to that it'll probably sneak in under PRC rules which the event is also open to. I'm not a hundred percent sure that mine will pass but we'll see. They have let a few small curly ones slide in the past..... :P

I sent Russ a email the other day to see if he'd be keen so hopefully he hasn't commited to anything else that weekend. Be good to have the RGM boys back up for another event. Otherwise anything I can do to help people make the journey up to Townsville possible, just let me know.

The GTR doesn't fit the criteria for PRC and it'd be a dog with restrictors, but who cares... in the interest of getting the event off the ground eligibility shouldn't matter too much anyway.

What’s the entry fee? I'm keen to sending either the Evo or RX7 north during 2010

I answered my own question on the GPS @ rally tas btw

tried it on the first leg, realised it was just a distraction, and left it off for the rest of the rally (didn't even use it on the touring stages)

but then i also had to go through my notes after leg one and delete any distance call less than a 100- we were going so quick i barely had time to get the shorter distances out before needing to call the next corner!

anyone think the chicane on oldina was too small? apparently there were a lot of complants about it.

we were warned about it being tight so I cautioned it but in the end it didn't seem that bad?

hmmm think i better sort that one out!

highest bidder? :)

Chicane on Yolla was a little open, but they are something to drive by eye... didnt see any problem.

The place ment of bollards meant the roads were very clean... good thing. Broken pass mirror - not so good LOL.

I am glad they didn't stop Savage east for the mazda... it was no worse than the escort or jag. The guys were a little excited, but that meant you could see them. We get all the road and they had only blocked one lane.

Great little event... and one we will do in the future.

TT

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
