Thanks Scott, Kel, :) I Timmy has balls of steel I reckon, a real pro ;)

I think a roof view or bumper view could better relay the actual pace of it.... probably the lower the better?

I need to sort out a camera now, as this POV was Dan's!

Oh the withdrawals!!!!

I was planning on buying a POV for the Rally season start next week, but meh too much other crap has come up recently...

Maybe if we get one each, multi angle :D

And apparently the POV is good for the bedroom too?

Now why on earth would anyone want to see multi angles of you and Wooster in the bedroom Timmay? :P

I think you are right Ben the lower the faster it seems. You check out this vid and it seems like the car is going 200mph (about 1:00 in)

Don't forget Targa is on the telly this weekend!

From Helen @ Octagon's email this morning...

Australia's top tarmac rally will be on show in lounge rooms around the country this weekend, with the Seven Network broadcasting a one-hour special on Targa Tasmania on Sunday at 12 noon. Locally in Tasmania, it will show on Southern Cross TV.

I'm guessing your driving skillz -particularly when it comes to field plowing - will feature prominently Benny :)

lol I guess they might, I can only hope they set the record straight and state that the only reason we ever left the road was due to bad and/or late navigator calls :)

Well if you want to be on TV it seems you need to be either in Showroom, Outright Classic or Modern.

I don't know why they bother with the other catagories really :P

Anyhoo - it got me thinking way ahead for a couple of years time of looking at Classic cars (since the budget for Modern is plain silly). I was under the impression that the upper date for classics moved but it seems it is now stuck at 1990. Is that the case (Stu?) and how long is 1990 likely to remain the upper limit for Classics? I was looking at some 1992 cars for the 2011 race but I take it they won't be available for Classics?

Na I'm thinking either an NSX or RX7 but which ones will depend on the data.

I really wanted to do an NSX Type R but thats a 1992 car. Having said that there was nothing majorly special about the Type R other than suspension and weight - which I can do both under the rules regardless.

You shouldn't necessarily change your car and category just so you can get on the dvd. Not everyone gets on the dvd as ben said and it even states in their policy you aren't gauranteed coverage http://www.targa.com.au/Competitors/Publicity.html

If all else fails you could drive through a fence? I wouldn't recommend it though!

Geeze talk about original... maybe we should go with something different benny? Delorean? atleast then we could go back in time and change history in the unlikely event we got beaten by these sheep!

Next thing you know Classic will be called the 32 GTSt Invitationals!

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
