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:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
