Most of the top guys don't want to punt a Skelta fast cause they don't feel safe in it, let alone a R400.

Speaking of crashes, that blue evo that hit the power pole only had a bolt in cage. Which surprised me

Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

My boss has the new 2L turbo FWD TT... really nice car to sit in, interior is a little cramped but very high quality... driving position is great as long as your not too tall... but its still a TT and as such I feel just a little feminine when driving it... handles great, VERY responsive on the throttle, has great torque down low

I'm sure its big brother the TTRS would be more manly... matte black does help... remember you are required to wear your blue tooth headset at all time when behind the wheel of a TT!

Matte white TT-RS with the dark intekes etc looks the goods. Certainly a lot less famanine than the series 1.

We had a good look at/sit in/feel of matt's TTRS pre-his mail delivery service gone bad. Was a lil cramped to get in/out of due to the exceptional cage, but a warm home once in, maybe a quick-release wheel or works bell flip up might make life a lil easier, but true credit to his build. They are a much nicer car than the early hairdresser spec cars.

I was so impressed with how it went considering how stock it was (stock magnetic suspension, stock brakes etc). Chuck a Haldex torque controller in to send more drive to the rear and it would be amazing.

I was amazed how much of the car is made of alloy, wouldn't have made building the cage easy!

So a broken drivers seat sitting on the consol didnt surprise you...

Its the cardboard box theory... an open box upside down has strength... with opening up - weak as p155.

Ask Simon Evans - even the best cage is not going to work best in a big sill impact, that is more car strength.

Hehe, he is nothing. After a night at the strippers i jumped in the lil R32 and chopped him at Sandown. And ther great thing is unlike my chop on the F430 at Winton this one was caught on tape :P

Well, talk about a late call-up. On the plane tomorrow morning (thurs) to Adelaide to recce for the ASP this weekend. Due to a fellow nav having to pull out, i got a call at 11am this morning. Looking forward to trying a new event even if the longest stage is only 10ish kms :D

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
