lol... they have been gone over... apparently the scruiteneers (sp?) were being very nasty this meet.

Their holden utes are under suspicion for the rear toe arm - its adjustable but an OEM adjustable arm. So it's debateable - no fines or exclusions sooooo fingers crossed.

Homebush will be interesting to say the least!!

The crank angle sensor chopper wheel had been tinkered with and was not in the correct position. (apparently - this is still subject to rumour at this stage)

All the engines are sealed, only way in is via the sump :)

Very stringent obviously. I didn't know that thought it was slightly open slather.
so basically they have to run the cars in close to stock trim? or are they allowed to change certain things on them to help with handling etc?

The cars all run the same gear... motors are stock, ecu's all have a controlled flash etc...there is no changing of anything, they all must run the same controlled items determined by the series... even tyres.

Cool. Karn Lowndes!

Side note.. Me thinks there needs to be more footage of the V8 girls.. Yep.

a quick recording of the XXXX angels pre-race performance comes in handy during the ad breaks. :( < Garry Rogers

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
