thanks guys I'm really happy about how it went, especially after the troubles I had last weekend.

huge congrats to Stu in coming 1st in modified too, he had to fight all weekend right until the last session to win the class, and I can tell you he had absolutely nothing left in that car. The GTR that came 2nd was extremely well prepared and the driver had done some laps around there prior, so for Stu to win there on his first time down there is a great effort.

actually it was a great weekend for dattos all around, there was a top turnout and results from most of the guys (and only 1 with real problems, borken motor after pulling 2nd in turn 1 at 160+). And also great work from Scott in the minetti to be only 1 second off the outright win against a full on F3 car.

thanks to everyone that helped me out this weekend and last - kel, neil, tektrader69, letmedrive and dad and all the sau vic guys that dropped by

Well done Duncan, as I said on the day 1:48's is extremely quick for a car with so many limitations, you would have been pushing it to the limit that's for sure. Looks like you didn't get a good run after the vibration appeared, oh well gotta be ecstatic with the result anyway. Was nice to meet you and Kel!!! :D

Stu's effort is phenomenal, 1:43.0 with a standard radiator!!!!! :P

Surely there would have been only one lap of full throttle, amazing result regardless....

Well I may not have placed but what a great weekend. Big thanks has to go to Graham,,,my wifey,,,Duncan,,,Kelly,,,Mark and Richard Fricker.

Graham what can I say but a Massive THANK YOU,,,putting us up in a great house and all your work over the weekend. :wave:

Great to meet all you Vic guys,,,SAU sure is a cool place to be.

What about that track,,,sensational !!!. I am in love with it. Everything about the joint was bloody great. I still can't beleive how long I'm flat in 6th going down the straight,,,in the end I wasn't braking for turn 1 just off the throttle and back into it. What I need is heaps of laps around there as every session I worked out better lines. I really have to stop listening to you tin-top guys lines,,,I braked way to early all the time.

Thank you PIARC for putting on such a great event.

Bring on next year at Morgan Park.

Neil.

Thanks Duncan and congrats to you too! and Jack and also many others, unkown - that offerred support - had a great weekend, still got time, tyres got a bit saggy, (as most know had braking issues) will be back, once again special thanks to everyone that offered support for a great weekend!!

Will put some braking issues vid's on soon, bought the mediums - next time will bring the bigger bits. :D

PS 32 and 33, in 4 years have never run hot :happy: never more than half if they are good and clean, when in front airs nice and cool!! Go the Dato's, BUT add some air when on the dyno.

And check out Stuart Inwood!!

1:43.03

OMG.

Insane time, well done Stuart!

Thanks Duncan, OMG, wait till you see my vids - turn 1 and 4

You thought turn 1 at EC was a moment haha!

Shame you didnt make it - but word of advise when you go - take the big one's!!

But seriously turn one is easy its just the other 599 corners you gotta get right (and watch out for the chooks over the back at hay shed - they like a birds eye view) Anyway, must say competitors / officials / walk abouts - were great, put on your must do list.

The fat whale as M & M affectionately call the R33, last five starts five records - Aussie Hillcimb Champ & fastest tintop (Haunted Hills, Vic Nov09), Muslce Car Champ (OP Aug 09), Fosc, also EC & OP South track record - class win at Aussie Supersprint PI, Outright - 2nd TTop - common 2010!! :P

Hey Stuart,

I meet you at Bathurst speed weekend last year, you helped out with my blown out tyre on the trailer thanks again.

Nice new toy mate it does not stand out as much as the R32 did :blink: , it is good to someone driving the whales hard, thumbs up.

I hope to see the R33 some where next year.

Turn 1 - doesn't look much but at 300 I am telling you it was, I've got Porche brakes didnt seem to work as good on mine though maybe a couple of k's too fast - bit keen - and yes I did appologise!

Thanks for the pics on the R32, Karen ran it at the December Speed weekend at Bathurst on the weekend and it looks and goes better than ever! The 32 and 33 are sleeping in the same shed - cant wait for my 65 - LOL.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.

      It's all about the socialisation of the dogs. In that first 8 to 16 weeks of age they need to be taught to be nice and friendly with everything. That way they generalise it to everything. That said, some days you'll just never beat genetics, but 99% of the time dogs chasing cats is purely lack of socialisation, and then the chasing part can turn into prey drive.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      I bench bled my HFM BM57 before installing, it leaked badly. Threw it in the bin, because I installed it 2 years after purchase.
