Larry is a champion ! - Who else would have admitted to losing concentration ?

[HSV guy] hmm, that's not what they told me when I bought my HSV jacket, beach towel, undies, toothbrush and bedspread....:confused:[/HSV guy]

How lucky was winterbottom, white has some sort of flat spot problem so has to brake way too early for the chase, made mistakes 2 laps in a row and Winterbottom and Luff got past.

The bloke should buy a lotto ticket.

It doesn't sound like a big deal compared to the full 1000 race, but 1 reckon an hour in these cars around Bathurst would be bloody hard work - god knows an hr round Oran was hard work, and 2hrs around wakefield almost killed me :)

isn;t it amazing - not just 1 sec faster than EVERY other car, but think how hard it would be to do the fastest lap ever in 1 single lap - no practice runs to get your head straight first, just go out and BAM.

Good betting there benm!

How good was that lap with Murphy.

If either Seton/Lowndes , Skaife/Kelly, Murphy/Kelly , Richards/Longhurst get up then i'll be happy. As long as Ambrose/Ingall crash out hopefully with Russell "Tool" Ingall behind the wheel then ill be twice as happy

If only Dumbrell wasnt partnering Mezera, i have a wounded puppy syndrome thing going with good ol' Thomas.

I know there are rules - but I reckon Skaife was robbed ! That wasn't dangerous !

Hats off to Murphy though !

Perkins did good after smashing the car - but I reckon it will be his last Bathurst.

Yeah - and Jimmy - not so much of a Gentleman !

A great race !

Now for Suzuka ! Yeah Baby !

I can't believe Skaife wasn't black flagged the very lap it became apparent, indeed even the very move that caused it was sus. You can't just drive round with panels hanging off....

Also, he shouldn't have gone for that move on Bowe anyway, it was plain dirty, but I expect that of Skaife. S.Richo's hit on JB was pretty dirty too, Not to mention Larry's BULLSHIT comments about it, well done Brad Jones to not erupt when Larry spewed such crap.

Interesting to see what happens after scruiteneering, It seems strange to me that Murphy suddenly picked up so much pace....His team were heard to say on the radio "pick up as many stones and crap as you can to bump the weight up..."

An interesting race, tis for sure. I was really disappointed Bowe/Jones didn't get on the podium, and surprised that Murph's qualifiying for held out.

The thing with trying to pick up weight is common, so i doubt you will find anything comes of that.

Hat off to Murphy, was the deserving winner, and hat off the old LP, may have not been on the pace of Steve Richards but he still raced hard and fair and made the other guys work for it.

Look at the fact that Kmart racing statred racing a new car at Oran park with absolutely no testing, and was stillcompetitive at Oran that event.

Then Sandown and Bathrust with only two test days, then i have no prob accepting where their speed came from once they got a chance to collect data prior to an events qualifying

It will be interesting to see if Dumbrell gets another go next year, i would love to see Mezera get back with a reguar drive... and i couldnt help but think about where was Wayne Gardner when looking at some teamates struggle with the pace of the race.

Looking forward to the next few rounds. Hoping SBR trips over!

Nothing Jimmy did was to bad, all clean moves as was the one when Skaife got hit by bowe, he wasnt trying to pass Bowe he was getting by the other ozemail car. But there was lots of other deparate moves going on

Pitty the official ruiened the racing yet again, if skaifs door was dangerous why did they not black flag him streight away, if they did and he pitted he would have still been in third at the restat and could have pushed for the win, and would have won.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
