is he just converting his 9 into a 7?

Na he has a 7 as well as a 5. Apparently he got the 7 when the Showroom rules went EMO specifically for EMod. Although he was sounding ready to walk away on Sunday night and concentrate on his circuit RX7 but we all feel ready to walk after an experience like he just had.

As for Batto - they should have stuck him in the Focus RS I reckon. Regardless him and Brenno should have some good ding dongs next year.

Thats twice he's punted the thing off on the last stage?

Why would you be risking life and limb on the last stage when you have a Showroom 4WD lead of about four days!?!?!?!?!

I know Tony is competetive and actually likes to see how he can place on an Outright standing, but nobody cares, no one looks at that stuff.

I know he was watching us pretty closely and got a little sooky (for want of a better word) when we matched him on Jamieson and were 20ish seca up on him at lunch on Sunday...

Hows everybody feel about the coverage of Early Modern once again? You start to wonder why would you bother...

What coverage? :(

It was strange that there was no real coverage though because it seemed everytime I took my helmet off a couple of blokes with a video camera and microphone wanted to come and do an interview.

I also had a pre-event phone interview as well which seemed to result in not much. Maybe it's because they kept catching me with a sandwich in my hand and we all know how much I love my food :blush:

I thought maybe I was the only one complaining about coverage. I sent an email to Mark Perry regarding how the showroom class with 5 entrants got more coverage than early modern which was by my reckoning the 2nd largest class if you compare to the whole of classic.

Hi Mark, sorry you asked me for directions to scrutineering/doco and i didn't realise who you were (was looking for the yellow/purple car!)

But yeh doesn't really give your sponsors much incentive as even if you win EM and place 8th outright (as Adam/Dan did) you don't really get a great deal of coverage.

I've just been talking with SCTV and they are doing a 1 hour show just for THC. Much of the story will be told with on-boards, so if you have anything interesting and want to give your sponsors better coverage, then get in touch to see if you have what they need.

He said the exact same thing about you guys when he caught you on big river :blush::down:

He was very lucky as the car didn't suffer any major damage, new coolers, radiator, support panel, control arm,steering rack and front bar.

Fairly sure it will be ready for TWP, he was fairly upbeat about throwing it away so close to the line as leading showroom by such a big margin did not seem to hold any great value for him as a better result overall was his goal.

After looking at his tyres I would have been worried about driving up the mountain at the speed limit let alone pushing like he did.

I've got in car of an awesome crash :blush:

Hahaha! he told me on the boat Monday night that he caught you guys at the last part of the stage, didn't pass you but caught you? and that Adam asked him at the bar on Sunday where he had come from!

Bloody Emo dudes are everywhere.... get back to your own forum :blush:

I resemble that comment....I'm off to put on my AFI album and cut myself. :down:

You know we are all wannabe GTR drivers.....

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • 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!
