Dunno if anyone here is interested in V8supercars but they're my bag baby....

Personally im hoping that Seto can get up with Craig for his first Bathurst crown....

... but im tipping HRT and Skaifey to be on the pace from the word go although i wanna see Ambrose and Ingall decimate everyone on the day with the pace they've shown all year.

How are you tipping to win?

HRT one two if it rains purely because of skaifys and kellys skill and if it rains you gotta give jim richards a good chance to get up there. other than that I think ambrose and ingall will be up there but think ambrose will be doing as much of the driving as possible. I'd like murphy to be up there simply because he has had rotten luck lately and still has performed strongly.

Disclaimer: I am a Holden fan so I may show SOME bias :)

Hrmm its not gonna rain I already checked that. I'm thinking of going up to watch for the entire weekend... we'd be leaving 6am saturday and sleeping in our cars or where we are sitting (turn 1) and then prob get home like 10pm sunday nite.

Not sure if i wanna go yet coz it'll be a $250/wkend and i wanna go to the CRD Dyno Day (to watch the great race on tv instead of just watching cars go around 1 corner). Hrmmm decisions...

Watching it on TV would never compare to actually being there though. I would love to go oneday...

Anyway I'm going for Skaifey, Richards, and Murphy. But I think If Ambrose and Ingall don't have any bad luck they they'll win cauze Ambrose has just been a class ahead of everyone else this year.

In Adelaide theres motorsport on from 6:30am to 6:30pm and then Moto Gp on late at night! yay!:P

Yup at home you get to see teh entire race track, at Bathurst you get to see the 1 corner 161 times haha.

If you're going up there, just leave the 'line at home...the bogans haven't forgiven us for group A yet....

IMHO, home is the place to watch anything - big screen, replays, no crowds (unless u want one), and plenty of beer in the fridge :P

anyone know where you can bet on the race?

At home online at www.sportstab.com.au and also at www.centrebet.com.au

Sportstab is easier to use but CentreBet usually has better options and odds.

Television doesn't compare with actuallly being there. I don't care much for the V8s but i went to the 24hr last year which was great. Up the top of the mountain you can walk around almost half the track. You can stand at Skyline and get your ears blasted as they downshift before the chicanes and the next day the sounds and smells are still stuck in your mind.

The thing that puts most people off V8s is that Holden vs Ford bullcrap. All the guys who get fired up about that are just ignorant bogans.

Poor old Larry... at least as team owner you only have to kick your own arse when you drive into a wall. Its a shame coz I'd love to see either Larry or everyone's hero Jimmy carry off a huge upset victory :)

Sha-zaaa!

Pfft, they're no more falcons and commodores than the Aussie Legends are. They're all just controlled sports sedans these days.

Yup stupid gate, if the concrete wall continued right around the corner their'd be hardly any damage.

Yeah, thats what you get with street circuits, on permanent circuits they can plan things like run-offs properly.

Of course, the other thing that sucks about street circuits is that 99% of ppl can never race on em, Bathurst is only used as a track 2 weekends a year :)

BTW, I hope to god winterbottom can catch that smart arse Luff :D

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
