there is also an aussie one forgot the name

has every sorta racing/car styles from aus

and then u get ur speedweek, rallies sometimes and car shows to restore like pimp my ride overhauling and that

that would be fox sports, (1 2 and 3) you can usually get spome car action on one of those of a night.

ESPN can be good for some USA d1 action and such at times as well.

rally was probably the only decent thing on fox sports.... that and i got addicted to monster trucks for a while of all things which was on ESPN... a lot more entertaining then i thought it would be

blood sweat and gears is super fantastically gay if you like seeing yobs, full sicks and spazs race their over priced and over powered cars through different "events" which normally ends up being more about burnouts then racing.

the only thing on fox i like watching with cars are shows like wrecks to ritches and overhaulin, although overhaulin is starting to get even gayer thanks to stupid pre-rehearsed "spontanious pranks".

Not much Jap racing stuff, but heaps of car stuff. Get IQ and record it all for later.

There's heaps of rally, bikes, circuit stuff, bit of drifting, car building shows (Overhaulin, American Hotrod, Wrecks to Riches etc). It's the main reason I have Foxtel

The biggest thing with Forumla D (American D1) is that some teams are full factory (like Team Mopar for example) or factory backed (Rhys Millen Racing) and they have massive sponsorships not only for the cars but for the entire championship (Air Force, Castrol, Tomei, Tyre manufacters etc.)..and they have a round of D1GP out in the states. That's where IMHO Drift Australia fell down as they had Toyo Tyres has their main sponsor but I don't beleive they had anyone else hence why they have gone to a 1 race championship this year. Yes I know that DA is in its infancy and finding sponsors is difficult but hopefully they can a major sponsor but also alot of small sponsors

Foxtel need to do a deal with SPEED Channel in the US to get their channel out here. Fox Sports show like the american AMA Superbike and motocross series...but they do the Formula D championship (which is on Fuel TV I know but they are behind a bit) and they have alot of european racing. It would be really great to have a dedicated 24hr Racing channel

DA is in its infancy?

Hasnt it been around for like 5 years or more now?

Formula D was massive after like 2 years in comparison.

Its never going to be even remotely as big as D1 or FD mainly because our population is way too small to support the small percentage of people that arent bogans who prefer watching the exact same cars with different badges go around the same tracks.

But i suppose thats for another a thread...

go foxtel...

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
