Well, the results are in, and in an outstanging effort, Pete has run to a beer-fueled 3rd in the Wet Eastern Creek track session, managing a 1.57!

We didn't get to see the times from the dry sessions, they felt real quick but neither of us was in the top 10.

Overall I am running 20th in the drivers, Pete is 11th in the co-drivers, In the teams we are running 16th.....so more work to do today :D

Well, we've made it to the end of day 2, and we are fighting well above our class.

We are 11th outright in the field. Since tomorrow is all at Wakefield track, we are hoping to move inside the top 10.

Pete's been having a blinder, he obviously goes faster with beer in him. He set the fastest time on the Sutton Hillclimb stage (except for the small issue of a 5 second witches hat penalty which put him out of contention). He then backed that up with 2nd outright in the special stage in Goulburn's main street.

I haven't had higher than 9th outright (Eastern Creek track wet session) so I better have a proper go tomorrow.

GSR 13s, you mate is doing bloody well, on the back of winning pretty much every skid pan event they are running 3rd outright.

what a tops weekend

team dunkanfatz finished a respectable 10th outright out of 58 teams consisting of mostly porkas, and other exotic cars,

go the blue whale

managed a 7th outright in the co drivers, and a 3rd in class

im so chuffed,

great driving and a big thanks to dunkan for being silly enought to let me loose in his car...... you should have seen his face when i got the thing airbourne

lol

picks r cumming

Looks like Pete beat me to it - the boys posted an OUTSTANDING result this weekend.

Not too bad when you consider the competition they were up against- lots of fast Porshes, a clubman, a turbo charged MX5 and one of those fancy Evos.

Since he brought it up.... Pete's extracirricular activities almost put the mitsubishi out of contention on the last day. Returning to our second floor hotel room at 3.30am in the morning (yep, Fatz is one serious competitor) Pete realised he had forgotton his keys and decided to scale the balcony- to avoid having to wake us all up no doubt. Unfortunately, the one too many cordials he had consumed that night caused him to fall upon reaching the second floor. The Evo was in his path, but luckily he managed to execute a fancy role at the finish, landing on Jason instead. The bushes on the ground also suffered considerable damage and will never look the same again.

Let the stories (excuses!) begin....

Cheers,

Kel

oh yea and thanks to kel for putting up with us in that motel room, you loved it didnt you

Yeah, Petie, absolutely LOVED all that snoring and farting, not to mention you jumping on top of Duncan, singing bad Elvis songs and hoping for a snog at 3.30 in the morning.

;P

Well, I'm stoked with how the rally went, 10th outright against that sort of competition was a real acheivement.

There should be some excellent TV coverage, not to mention the interview of pete and the infamous "balcony incident"

I'll post up when the results are available, but some highlights are:

Pete came 2nd outright in the Eastern Creek wet laps, and in the Goulburn main street motorkhana....not to mention that he took the fastest time on the Sutton hillclimb stage by over 1/2 second from the clubman (except for the 2x5 second witches hat penalties ;) )

I managed a couple of top 10 results in the track sprints, but need heaps more practice in the wet motorkhanas, especially as the magic tyres ran out of grooves very, very quickly :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
