No Paul they didn't do it this year mate. Last year it was too easy to "clean" the stage, and it was too hard to find a way to slow the stage down. Shame, I loved it last year, very fast :dry:

Reverted back to the old Mt Black and Roseberry, and added in Rinadeena, which is Strahan in reverse! :D

Now, whats this about you driving the event, how did we miss you?

I wish - nah I meant in 2008. Timing was all wrong for this year but next is going to be a ripper.

Yeah shame - we had a ball that day, even though we had a small off. Steve managed to wrestle the fish tailing car down from about 180km/h, around a 9 corner, to gently dropping the front wheels into a ditch.

wow. I thought it was a typo and was meant to have a -R in there! yeah the sunnny GTI is AWD non-turbo. pretty average piece of gear. they must have been pushing it pretty hard to get that far up the order. well done. :sick:

Yeh he has been multiple National and State F2 Rally champ in years gone by.

Did they do Reeces dam again this year? Was there similar carnage on that last stage as there was in 2008?

Nahh went back to Mt Black and Rosebery, I reckon there would have been major carnage this year had they been run was wet as over the west coast.

Gee I was getting all confused there Paul! :sick:

Well, with luck, we'll see you back there next year too, gotta start searching out all that spare change that I know is hiding around here somewhere..... :(

wrong on both counts haha Lee's GTI is front wheel drive, as are they all I believe. Its also certainly not an average bit of gear. It is an absolute animal and Lee is a driver of top top quality. Had a few problems I think on day 1 and dropped a lot of time. Can't wait to hopefully see it in the forests this year as it is a sight for the eyes and especially the ears.

the gayness that comes from your typing hurts baby jebus

homo!

I RECON I SHOULD ENTER ROOKIE AND TEACH YOU ALL HOW TO WRAP A CAR AROUND A TREE!!

alright who let Pete into this thread :D

reckon you should do it Pete (the rookie bit, not the wrap the car round the tree bit)

though you would need to find some SERIOUSLY insane to navigate for you.

jenna has indicated that she wants in( lol)

if i can find a gtsT with a rol cage ill be there next year

other oprtion is to put a cage in jennas car :)

Hooo-hhooooo-harrrr! lolz

do you think rod will ever live that crash down? esp with the responce it got on the party tape

maybe Thumper will.

on a side note, I only found out on the weekend that our car had had the front springs upped to 500 lb/in from 330, hence the front of the car contantly leaving the road....not happy

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
