I had pretty much come to the conclusion that the australian stig was just one of the 2 presenters with racing experience. They surely don't have the budget to employ another whole person for something they are both capable of.

The racing experience of the presenters is very limited...

Cox did some racing in the UK and V8 Bathurst here with average results

Pizzati has done a couple of vic state formula ford races in 1999 with back of the field results.

For the UK version there are a few stigs atm, Depending on the car. Some companys want there own driver to drive the cars and some dont care.

1st Stig Perry McCarthy former F1 test driver (one they shot of a ship)

2nd & current Stig Ben Collins has raced Indy, IRL F3

USA Stig Mario Andretti

Heiki Kovalevien drove the F1 on the TG Track

The Australian Stig is TURN AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW..........

The Bates Brothers

1st it was though to be Russel Ingal but was later found out to be both the bothers

I cant tell you it is NOT the Bates brothers, Neil Bates has a rock solid contract with Toyota, runs the largest rally team in Australia and certainly doesn't have the time to hang around a film set for days at a time.

Now Rick Bates on the other hand....

It's easy to do.... although not with the black helmet lens. (thats the hardest part i've found to find)

The Target store @ Malvern has $4.95 Lego kits of this...

Then just borrow your GF's nail file and sand off the print on the torso. :D

Failing that, just have a son who's massive keen for Lego and just collect it. :)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
