hahah I voted for him because I'd love to see aussie drivers follow their dreams....but its a bit rich to say he is the best young driver ever to race in aus.

in my experience the best drivers probably never got a single race start, and the next 50% of great young drivers can't afford more than a single season. some good young drivers have the budget to keep going, so good luck for him.

Thanks Drunken....

Neil I'm curious as to who you could of voted for that will actually have a shot at winning (the driving phase, not this "dancing with the stars" part..)

Crashing is part of racing, although 19 podiums from 20 races and 12 wins in 2009 shows we don't crash...

the most damage from 2009 so far has been 2 BIG stone chips on the nose box... oh they came from the GT-R safety car while following it at Winton :O

Now nominated for South Australian Sports Star of the Year 2009

come and support the only driver to be nominated, and help motor racing get over all the ball sports!!!

"The 21-year-old's move from Adelaide to Melbourne, to be closer to his Formula Ford team, Sonic Motor Racing Services, paid big dividends with the Flagstaff Hill youth winning the 2009 Australian Championship.

Nick won 12 races this year bringing his national total to 22 wins, breaking a 15-year-old record and giving him more wins than Mark Webber, the Brabham brothers, Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup COMBINED!!!

Lowndes, Whincup and Garth Tander were past Formula Ford Champions."

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
