Good on ya Timmy! Just to let everyone know, Tim's been headhunted by hot steerer and great bloke Gavin James. These boys will give the Early Modern guys a red hot run in their non turbo 944 :happy:

GO LADS!

Gavin couldn't sell the car? Good work Timmy, you should be a good chance for a podium.

Thanks guys, was a major last minute decision, but will be a good one hopefully.

Haven't discussed service crew arrangements with Gav yet, but Ben are you and Damo servicing this year? Wouldn't be asking you to put yourselves out and service for us, but maybe help us with a splash of fuel?

I'm crewing for Dad, and Damo is crewing for Kerry. I can carry extra fuel for you, and i'll have tools/race tape/cable tie's on hand if needed. I image Damo will be the same, but you'll need to check with him

Still chasing some accomodation, floor space, a roof... anything in Strahan really just for two, as she is totally booked out :)

Have made many calls nationwide, there is zip!

And I really don't think queenstown is an option since, we most likely won't have a car down there and the road closes at 6:58am queenstown end :D

i see the mazdabaters are running e85, i'll be interested to see what their fuel econamy is like, and if the car arrives with a bathurst tank. rX8's are thirsty at the best of times, let alone with a turbo

I heard Glenney is concerned it won't make the distance over Arrowsmith.

I wonder how many cars we will find run out of fuel toward the end of the stage this year? Only person I know who isn't worried is Barry Oliver, he was quite comfortable the new GT3 RS would get through fine since its the same capacity tank as the GT2, but more economical.

might buy a drum of e85 and sell it for $10/l, 5k from the end of the stage.

can't see any issue with that as long as you buy it from the monopoly supplier at whatever price they deem fair :laugh:

hmmmmmm, im not sure if that looks like fun or is like one of those amusement rides that scares the shit out of you to the point that you cant wait for it to be over so you can get off.

the shots with the cliff is unbelievable. Hats off to you people...much respect.

Nine more sleeps and I'm there!

ps: nice to keep reliving those potato farming adventures boys :laugh:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
