Alright, we're 3 days out from Lake Mountain and there's no talk...

We've had the car re-tuned, had the suspension tickled with and have a new set of Yokohama shoes.

Looking forward to the weekend and the weather looks ok...24ish on Sat and 20 with poss showers on Sunday. Adam is looking forward to running in the wet...not sure if thats good, or bad :blush:

oh well i decided not to run rookie, as i didn't have the monies to do it, and no incentive after the possable free entry to Targa was taken away.

just have to join the local circuit series 3 rounds in, and get the car setup for next year. Which i'm guessing will be a 6 day event for the 20th aniversary.

Im sure your all up on it, but this is what i think of when the name Adam Newton and wet are added together.

Its amazing how much that car has changed, they day after that footage I won a comp to go for an extreme ride with him arround symmons plains, and then only a hand full of laps later he ripped the rear quarter off it on the pit exit armco!

So we had an interesting weekend.

Seems the dreaded cold tyres/turn 1 curse was out and about over the weekend.

We started off with an uneventful 4:45 and spent the rest of the weekend trying to match and better that time. Stage 2 saw us massively sideways, rear end in a ditch, rear bumper torn off and right rear alignment shot to pieces...all on turn 1. Despite this we still managed a sub 5 min stage time and all we lost was the rear bumper and a little shine off the car! A spin at turn 3 later on in the day saw a 4:57 before the rally gods allowed some form of speed and we finished Saturday off with a 4:43 on Stage 6.

Adam took the car back to Techsport for a rear alignment that evening while i found some accomodation and the biggest parma i have ever seen.

Sunday saw a much more consistent effort with the only thing effecting our times a damaged Porsche(with oil everywhere) and a little bit of drizzle that we backed off for to ensure a finish.

The final stage 10 started off well and only got better as we blitzed the 9.3kms, smashing our previos best by 5 seconds to end the weekend with a 4:37.7. Good enough to be the 4th quickest on that stage.

Results saw us 6th outright, with a 1st in class, a great lead-in to Targa Rookie in a month.

Was fantastic to catch up with everyone and Jess, Burgo's R looks a heap of fun :-)

      Could it really happen......

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
