Good on ya Timmy! Just to let everyone know, Tim's been headhunted by hot steerer and great bloke Gavin James. These boys will give the Early Modern guys a red hot run in their non turbo 944 :happy:

GO LADS!

Gavin couldn't sell the car? Good work Timmy, you should be a good chance for a podium.

Thanks guys, was a major last minute decision, but will be a good one hopefully.

Haven't discussed service crew arrangements with Gav yet, but Ben are you and Damo servicing this year? Wouldn't be asking you to put yourselves out and service for us, but maybe help us with a splash of fuel?

I'm crewing for Dad, and Damo is crewing for Kerry. I can carry extra fuel for you, and i'll have tools/race tape/cable tie's on hand if needed. I image Damo will be the same, but you'll need to check with him

Still chasing some accomodation, floor space, a roof... anything in Strahan really just for two, as she is totally booked out :)

Have made many calls nationwide, there is zip!

And I really don't think queenstown is an option since, we most likely won't have a car down there and the road closes at 6:58am queenstown end :D

i see the mazdabaters are running e85, i'll be interested to see what their fuel econamy is like, and if the car arrives with a bathurst tank. rX8's are thirsty at the best of times, let alone with a turbo

I heard Glenney is concerned it won't make the distance over Arrowsmith.

I wonder how many cars we will find run out of fuel toward the end of the stage this year? Only person I know who isn't worried is Barry Oliver, he was quite comfortable the new GT3 RS would get through fine since its the same capacity tank as the GT2, but more economical.

might buy a drum of e85 and sell it for $10/l, 5k from the end of the stage.

can't see any issue with that as long as you buy it from the monopoly supplier at whatever price they deem fair :laugh:

hmmmmmm, im not sure if that looks like fun or is like one of those amusement rides that scares the shit out of you to the point that you cant wait for it to be over so you can get off.

the shots with the cliff is unbelievable. Hats off to you people...much respect.

Nine more sleeps and I'm there!

ps: nice to keep reliving those potato farming adventures boys :laugh:

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
