Woo on 2nd trails Newmans by 10 seconds after stupid 9 stages of dinky dye motorkhana crap today. Sunday will bring the mountain, the Skelta looms large behind!

They have motokhana stages?? I need to do this rally one day!

I always thought Lake Mountain could have been an epic Rally if they put a motokhana style challenge in the carpark at the top.

It's the one thing I really miss about Dutton event is whacking the handbrake everywhere! :)

Well, it wasn't really a motorkhana as such, not tight enough to require the handbrake.

It was a 1.1klm loop using part of the V8 Supercar track.

Would have been an excellent Prologue and sponsor ride course, but hmmm, to travel 1,200klm for one day of it? Not so sure.

A perfect world would have seen friday arvo/night passenger and Prologue there, and up to Mt Stuart for Saturday/Sunday

Mt Stuart is an awesome challenging piece of tarmac. :)

that was fun to watch team Woo.

the key to that video for me was the commitment. at one point you are accelerating upto and over a crest that is then followed by a 8 right into 8 left. from the incar you cant see where the road is going over the crest but if you was reading the road (bad thing to do) you could see it was going to go left. its that commitment to keep accelerating where the average punter would go screw what the idiot to my left is saying im gona lift off that wins plastic.

Also did anyone elce notice the clutch kinking, sideways action, wheels in dirt action that was closely followed by a crowd of people or fluro vested photographer? :blink:

Thanks guys.

And yes, big congrsats to Russ and Sarah, I'm very very proud of them both. It really was the perfect outcome, couldn't have asked for anything better to be honest.

Well, actually, it would have been a lot better if Coop didn't spin it and bang up the GTR again.

Our 4:09 run, quite different from Russ's 4:09 run :P;

Huge well done to Timmy, Russ and Sarah, Coop, Wade, Gary, Peter, we had lotsa fun, and it wouldn't be the same without the fantastic NQ hospitality :D

Nice one mate. How much time did you shave off from your first run to your fastest one out of interest?

First run, Russ/Sarah, Woo/Me and Coop/Wade all did 4:20's thinking there wouldn't be much more in it, maybe a second or two would be fast.

Second run up the hill Russ/Sarah did a 4:11, Woo/Me did 4:10 and Coop/Wade did 4:16.

3rd run was fastest with Newmans and Team Wooster doing 4:09's

Yes, interesting question Snowy.

I was interested too to see the difference. First run we attacked as we would any other tarmac rally stage that we would see once, and we did a 4:20. So that's a little over a second a kay slower. On subsequent runs, we still drove purely on the notes, I wasn't trying to remember it, but of course you kind of do anyhow, plus you're 100% confident with the notes after a pass over them.

The 4:09 run was our 3rd pass.. Other runs were consistant 11's and 12's.

One thing that came out of the weekend was our writing of notes, we only had two passes over the course, wrote the notes, and they were spot on. We gave a copy to Russ and Sarah and they proved the notes were quick. They had different notes last year and mangaed a 4:12 in the time machine R35. Very happy with that :P

You tempted to write your own notes for targa now?

Thanks Harry!

Nothing wrong with John's notes at all in my eyes mate (in fact they're superb), but if time and money were plentiful, then yes, writing our own notes would be awesome. That will have to wait until Tim and I secure a factory drive which would allow for a few weeks writing and checking notes.

I know damn well if I was a Tassie local I'd write my own. :thumbsup:

    • 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.
