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...

It's easy to sit outside and look in, but I feel the whole media circus around Tugga (to coin a phrase) leaves plenty of room for improvement. It goes without saying that there is millions poured into the sport each year and theres some pretty high profile sponsors floating around, but it seems as though unless you have a raging bull or a zoom zoom or have a monumental off, any sort of coverage is difficult to come by. The tarmac rally scene could have a much larger following if only the media channels were used to good effect. It's been how long since Targa now, and the mainland hasn't seen the TV coverage yet...

thc website isn't far, the requirements placed on our new developer meant things are taking a little longer than hoped.

tony seemed pretty happy when i spoke to him this morning. his plan was to always offer his evo ix to market post-tt10. he isn't confident evo x is the right car for him going forward. i think he'll be happy to play with his off-tap fd3s track car for a little bit, going by the engine and body bits i ordered for him today!

the tt tv show will never keep everyone happy... but i've worked in this office for ten years and near nobody complains compared to times past.

em coverage wasn't great, by by the time the leading cars crash out, blow up and are excluded you aren’t left with much... unless you want to commit a massive injection of funds to redo the show as its required to be finalised very shortly after the event.

over all its a good piece with awesome photography.

I agree it's much better than it once was, the chopper pilot knows his shit, and you can never expect everyone to make it on.

Now tell me ya hunk o spunk, in the old Ovlov being forced to put on some weight and install a steel cage?

Just wanted to find out some finer details in terms of booking accommodation early, it seems that a few places in Mansfield are already booked for the week leading up to the event (which will be the time we plan to recce).

For the actual event will it be based in Mansfield for Friday evening then Buller Sat & Sun night?

Well part of the deal I've made is that car doesn't come with an engine, brakes, shocks, wheels, exhaust or interior. (and tail lights - that car has LED's which I don't want!)

So I'm going to need those parts from the old car as a minimum. The big issue with the other parts on my old car is the bonnet and guards. It will probably run externally as a standard white car for THC but for TT11 I will put the kit back on and then it will be a case of whether the car stays white or goes back to blue. I'm pretty sure I know which way it will go......

But yeah Dan I am keeping the drivetrain in the new one. Anyone want to buy a 5 speed GTR gearbox?? :D

Hey Snowy, did you buy the GT-R off of Aaron? I think I saw that car yesterday when I was there picking up my wing :)

If so, very neat mate!

Well, hmmm, new nav Tash is in the car for THC, gonna be weird without you Timmy!

So Tony isn't running? I bet you do no good with her... you won't be able to keep your eyes on the road!

Spoke with Gav the other day, engine is rooted so bought a built donk out of the states, and will be mated with a Motec/Autronic or similar.

And in other news PAR are rebuilding our Sprinter's dogbox and changing the ratio's for 1st/2nd/3rd to be more appropriate. The bad news from this is it has put back our development and testing on the car a few months so we won't be going to the Southern Mountains rally at Eden in July :D

Yep thats the car. :D \

But only half of it is mine remember. He gets to keep the rest. LOL

BTW - fair sized entry list for THC if the Targa newsletter is anything to go by. Am really looking forwards to seeing the course and the logisitics of it.

From what you were telling me Timmy the S2 will be a cracking car with that new engine combo in there!

Anyone know how wide the roads are at THC? I'm just beginning to wonder what it will be like passing you guys in stage........ :P

It's a good half though! The best of both worlds - driveline from yours, body from his.

PS I don't mind the LED lights... :D

Actually the driveline from his too.

Just the engine, brakes, wheels, exhaust, seats, suspension and tail lights from mine :D

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
