I just put a magic windscreen in my car. Be interested to know details of other places to get them though as my current source (YT) only had the one and I wasn't able to find any other local sources.

In other news I got some THC stage details yesterday. Apparently Barwite looks like fun as its nothing but 9's + 10's for the first 2.5kms! I really need to get out there and have a look at the roads.

I have been told by JA that if you are going to recce Mt Buller tell the base office that this is what you are doing and they might waiver the $35 entry fee.

Magic Screen? Heated?

TT

I'll be interested to see how you like the heater. I asked some people about them when I started my car, and some hate looking through them, and some don't see them. I decided to save monies, and kept the heaterbox in my car for the sake of 4-5kg

Actually that was me. The car wiggled a tiny little bit - mainly through the steering wheel - when we hit some standing water and I wasn't expecting it - but at 200km/hr it gave me a minor heart attack!

In what way Jess?

I'm just hangin' to get back in the seat :blink:

Its been so long since I have been in a seat :P Havent been on that side since May :(

Do you find it takes a bit to get into the groove??

Im probably just being paronoid but have always been a bit of a stresser and being in another new seat can be a bit overwhelming at first just getting up to speed with the new driver I guess...

Im probably just being weird like usual LOL

Hahaha, it can be difficult to get in the groove, but I find that recce gets the bugs out and goes a long way to readying towards actual competition.

I suppose it can be daunting being alongside another 'new' driver, but again...as you know...recce helps!

I wish I could spend the time to do recce...I guess its my own fault aswell...But no driver I have sat next to so far as been in the "main game" so to speak and that serious...So I fly in Nav and Fly out again...

I would love to learn to write my own notes and get that much time off but with my motorsport schedule time off is limited from work as I do so many other events...

Ok will stop being a princess and suck it up... :cool:

Just would like more frequent events through out the year to stay ontop of the nerves....

Just venting :P its been awhile..LOL I am excited tho love MT Buller area its so lush and adventerous!!!! :blink::P:(

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
