I've always wondered if the poor condition of the roads is the reason they took the stages around Hobart out of the main Targa event. I drove down the first bit of the Longley stage this morning and yeah...its bit embarrassing. Has the potential to be an awesome road.

I was under the impression that it was to do with poor road conditions and lack of community/council support. Could be wrong though.

Toll is the way to bring your car and trailer to tassie. it's 1/2 the price of the spirit, and you can carry fuel (legally). You can only bring one person per car though, but you're still well ahead even with some cheap flights thrown in for the crew.

Someone else did have ABS failure, resulting in something more than locking brakes - still in hospital. Probably impolite to ask just now, but I'm assuming no HNR being worn....going by the fracture.

Oh and the 8 tyre rule seems a sop to the morbidly obese GTR, etc, in late and will entrench evos in EM. Make them carry em I say if they can't make the distance!

Unfortunately Toll is only in the region of $400 cheaper return...the whole bass straight xing is still a rip in my opinion seeing as if you're towing a caravan the spirit is only a couple of hundred bux return, yet mention a car trailer and you're looking at 1500+ incl accom.

Oh, and the spirit is conveniently upping their rates just before targa and dropping again not too soon after...

costs the same for a caravan as a car trailer its only motor homes that get cheaper rates

Yeh that one was kept pretty quiet,

and I think a big congrats needs to go out to CycloneGTR? I believe maiden victory?

Is that the Ric Shaw crash? Tarmac Mag's facebook page was the only place that had any details on the crash, they had a message that he was still on hospital last night.

Yeh thats the one I was referring to. The only place I heard ANYTHING about it was on Tarmac Mag's FB page

LOL - I'm not yet convinced it's going to be better than Buller - which is one of the best tarmac roads I've driven! :)

But having checked it out last weekend it's definitely a buzz (and better than Lake Mountain).

True, nicely done Cyclone! How is David, living in Noosa yet?

And my hat goes off to Eddie Macguire with Steve Glenney calling in Showroom 4WD, first tarmac rally, totally legal Aussie delivered 6 speed equiped Evo 8 GSR, 180kw ATW.... and smashed them senseless! Word from a strong competitor was "how the hell do we compete with THIS!?!?!)

    • 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.
