I went up to machine shop this morning to give them a hurry up. They just started back at work after the break. They are close to pivoting centre arms and will have in time and yes. Reason they break is they are loaded as you know they want to go through an arch, and all the arms and bushes on the market only allow to go though one plane and hence they break. They also restrict suspension and act like a stiff shock indirectly, and when they don't they are starting to work lose and then have play in front end. The more camber and caster of a race car accentuates the problem. Odd thing is some cars get away with it with little or no prbos, whilst others have on going problems. All are binding though and restricting travel or free movement of suspesnion.

Awesome work JP...i knew you would be onto it.

The old ones never gave me an issue at the drags...lol

Soon and not much actually, but rather not commit to either yet as third party involved.

As for weight at the time I was half joking but then Bozman would probably only be 65kg maybe 70kg and you guys would be over a cosy 100 kg's. Bozman is Mr Energy and good stuff. Hey Roy good to here lost some beer storage. Is there a VIC team gearing up for this one?

Boz would be OK and quite calm if you didn't make him drink all that 'V' stuff. :)

I seriously can't wait for this, and I'm only spectating! :D

By the way... if someone pays me enough, I'll go around sabotaging competitor cars :)

all it's going to cost you is your car in 1 working piece after the race...

So who is running??

I have been entered to run 3 cars. Looking forward to the improvements on JP's Zed in PRO, Elias S2000 in OPEN and the AWD thing that I am running that has never seen a track in its life :)

I may run my own 6.0 litre in clubman for a stir :D So that could make it 4 lol

Hey Nathan are you around?

I saw this rule in clubsprint class:

• All vehicles entering the Superlap Clubsprint Class must have a full interior. The only exception is for vehicles which have a half cage which needs the back seat to be removed.

I've got no interior trim but the car is still over factory weight (about 1500kg). Can it run in clubsprint?

Nathan you need to answer my question if I am going to enter - I can't enter an over factory weight, standard car in open. But I would be willing to have a fling in clubsprint.

So their goes 2L RWD Open :D Can i tie a bungee chord to the back of the S200 so that way i am at least a chance of second :) Serious question, what do you think the car will do with good tyres?

Not sure Roy as we are changing a few things on it. I hope it can compete for outright open. Will just have to see who and what enters. I have even convinced Elias to put a cage in it :)

What would you rather...a STD overweight car in opens with grip...or the same car in clubman with none ?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
