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:

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

HEY! I'm not the one who threw up!

I think you need some of Uncle Chop Chop's medicine....

Oh I used that dont you worry!

This is my favourite quote and made me get through the rally...

Atleast I can throw up and keep going..I got a nice new Rally jacket for my efforts too!

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:

Wow thats an antique setup there!

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:

What the....Really :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?)

this got missed in all the whoring :ermm:

I was very quick to beleive the original report....looks like you're the one who's right Greg, not me :)

Andrew that's wierd as. where is it failing?

I guess you've checked every link and bush? even check the wierd stuff like king pins out.

I had that run where I broke both castor rods in 6 months but no problems since.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
