i think the "type r" updates the the lambo have done wonders for it? Did White Hot or SupaLoc racing homoligate the changes?

Probably. I know SupaLoc are trying to incorperate crumped front ends into the changes now as well.

Actually whilst Week's latest effort will still probably cost more than all of our cars on here to fix - it looks like he's got away damn lucky as the chasis rails and all the suspension components seem to be ok.

Brilliant to see Dan on the podium - I have a choice photo of Dan & his champagne which I'll have to post later on (unless a suitable bribe comes my way today)

I dont remember it being too incriminating... :)

Looking at our pace, we were just under .5sec/km slower than the Early Modern winning 996 Turbo so over 200 competitive that left us trailing by 87 seconds. Maybe next time on softer tyres (we weren't on Ms) and with a few subtle tweaks to the suspension settings we will be able to ride the bumps better and show a little more pace :)

Bring on Lake Mountain :P

I know Weeks binned it but haven't seen pics. Was it the same old car repaired or a new one?

And yeah, the Type R spec has transformed the Lambos, and they're actually getting the power you'd expect from them now too.

It was certainly a real mess (the '09 car), but it takes a lot to "write off" a vehicle of that value...... Like, YT bent his like a banana in 2006 after his big jump over a culvert drain (the extruded alloy chassis rails between the passengers and the engine) and it was repaired fine.

The offending valve that just came out of YT's engine....... definately would have caused a drama. lol

I was chatting to him before the presentations and he mentioned the need to change how he drove the raging bull. Instead of relying on teh powah to pull him down the straights, he was finding the need to try and carry more corner speed. How that is possible...I don't know :P

Anyone heard any more re that pic of Jones runnin that epic cut?

There weren't any corners listed as having a penalty for cutting this year, so I doubt anything will come out of.

Good to see no chicanes there too :P

I was under the understanding that no corners should be cut, just the ones with lines had a judge of fact on them, and if cut would result in epic rape. Looks like a good bash plate is the go for some epic corner cutting later in the year.

My thoughts exactly...... it's TARMAC rallying not farken WRC. Where Benson when ya need him? :P

As I said earlier - last year before all Octogon events there was specific mention of the "no cutting corners with white lines"

This year there was nothing so I can't see how he can be penalized.

It's in the Supp regs

I heard that Weeks was quitting the rally scene and going back to circuit racing??

Anyone care to elaborate?

Yeah i herd the same thing that he has lost his nerve abit, but maybe like Garwood after his smash in Targa a couple of years ago said he would never race a car again and he came back better than ever, it might just take time before he's keen again

It's in the Supp regs

Bit iffy unfortunately (for those who like to read the rules to the letter to bend them) because I don't recall seeing a bulletin?

From the regs.....

18. Cutting Corners

Any competitor who is observed taking a line that results in a complete tyre (front and / or rear) passing beyond the white line on pre-determined corners and

thus leave the tarmac surface will receive a penalty as follows:

• First Observed Offence: 30 seconds

• Any further offence will be the first offence plus 30 seconds for each subsequent offence

These locations will be advised in a bulletin.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
