Not on a rally but I once made the mistake of having a caramel milkshake at lunch before going on an intense twisties run in an EMO. I felt terrible even as the driver! LOL

But it did teach me a lesson to watch what I eat before driving hard. :merli:

Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

Yeah I remember the 2004 East Coast Targa. Appo and I decided Eggs Benedict would be a good breakfast prior to racing. Yeah nah, not good. It repeated all day. I never throw up though, throwing up to me is the equivelent of the end of the world.

oh you big girl!!

I took wet T-Shirt comp to a whole nother level that day! :sick::(:merli:

I get a pins and needles feeling come over me sometimes...but I used to not eat anything before a rally until that day I thought I would be fine.. :no:

So will go back to not eating before rallying..

I am fine on the circuit it's just up/down. around and rough that got me..only on that one stage too..Weird :D

Hmm i think the key is more to eat properly for these events and digest it all properly. IE chew the f**k out of it.

Have breakfast early to give yourself time to digest before jumping in the car. i think most ppls problem is they have brekfast and then get in n drive.

I don't normally drink milk or anything (was lactose intolerant as a child), but this year ive been having Up and Go's to start the day and maybe a bit of toast, and of course my friend COFFEE!

Next most important thing to do is keep yourself hydrated. I think this year made a huge difference for benny and I, by having energy drinks and lots of water. attention span lasted longer, felt fuller for longer and didn't really have any signs of fatigue set in.

Oh and if all else fails take a Quells atleast half hour before getting in the car and then another at lunch time :merli:

Yep, keeping hydrated it a biggy. You gotta always feel like going to the potty. All the girls at Targa use those lady wee things so they don't need to strip down full to widdle. They can just stand up next to the boys on the side of the road. Its ahhhh, piss funny :merli:

Roy - Nah, E3 is an import rally car, can put Tassie SI rego on it though... my old GTR which still has it years later!

phunky - Road car, 3.2's are cheap now for what they offer, but 996 C2 isn't that much more and offers more go a proper roof, and less stick from mates!

So..... went to Winton today for a bit of a cobweb cleanout and to evaluate some new tyres (since me and Dunlop M1's were not great friends) and got halfway through the 1st practise session and I popped another front right wheel bearing - same as I did at Targa Wrest Point earlier in the year.

Don't suppose anyone out there might want to proffer an opinion on why I'm suddenly doing front right wheel bearings after 5 years?? The only significant difference on the car since before this issue started is a Nismo front diff. But I can't think why that might be doing it (unless someone can tell me otherwise?)

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
