Congrats to Ryan and Chris :D

morning skipdan session was good for me but I'm still slow on the back track... can't keep up with the powerful cars... if only there was some way I could cheat...

one discrepancy though, battle 1, attempt 2. says got a 39.24 with no penalties but I was racing Patrick who got a 23.. and I thought I won (was really close) so not sure how I ended up with a 39. Can't do much about it now but just thought I'd say something before Pat starts saying he beat me by 16 seconds. but anyway, I still improved on last deca's results so I'm happy. hope to hit top 20 next time.

Wrong Direction.

i will look into your time sandeep. i believe that you being car 39 could have something to do with your time.

it only took 15 or so decas for a RWD to make it.. if chris hadnt taken a note from his reformed cone killer mate it would be different.

ssxRicho, no worries on the tow back. Ddi you get it all sorted?

.Khoa, that is a Wrong Direction.

Well done on the results guys. Good work Ryan. Also good to see Tom and Che clawing there way to the top. Well driven all.

Try beating the Starlet at the back track first then the powerful car :D !

let me rephrase: "powerful and light weight cars"... power to weight wise my car is disadvantaged but because of the weight it feels quite stable and i don't really have to worry about wheelspin because it lacks the turbo kick. i think it's a good package for the skidpan but not good for the back track. guess we are now 1:1 in our battles. are you coming to the next deca Khoa?

thanks for looking into it Ryan, i don't think there is any video footage to look at of that run unfortunately.

Cheers for the results, need more practice :D

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
