January: do every race I can at Oran Park before it closes. Right now that is Irace on 14-15/1 and the final meet on 23-24/1. And give Neil a hand at the last state supersprint on 16/1.

March - Bathurst Sprint, Lake Mountain Sprint

November - National Supersprint in Qld (I thought it was QR, but maybe Morgan Park?). And whatever else I can do when I'm up there.

And as many rounds of NSW combined touring as I can

Santa bought me a new toy, looking to do as much as i can with it this year without going interstate

Mick,,,seems you were a good boy last year,,,Santa has really looked after you. :D:D:D

Don't listen to the tin-tops,,,that thing is way cool. I swear before I'm too old to drive,,,my bums gonna be in a superkart,,,if only for a test. :banana:;):no:

Duncan,,,I booked the day off on friday for your irace,,,so you have me both days.

2010 plans for me are:-

1/ Get the Radical sorted properly

2/ Thrash the living shit out of it

3/ Do as many interstate stuff I can afford

4/ Start doing stuff in the Skyline,,,she's been wob-webbed for far too long

With the Tas Super Series starting 14th Feb and my car looking like this with no money to rebuild........

Im guessing Round 3 in May is my best bet at this stage. I was looking to improve the car, not repair it!!

Im also thinking of droping a 351 into an XE falcon for some club days and then.......maybe!

But I have no money to do either at the moment so this year is not looking good.

oh BTW my plans changed.

I killed my first motor for the year on the 16th day of it...new record.

At least I got to compete in the last race meet at Oran Park, and I set the fastest lap and was leading (until the motor blew lol)

Not sure if we'll be there or not. Would like to think so, as the roads around that area are fantastic and should suit the Evo 4 just nicely :thumbsup: and why arent we talking about it?!?!? :blush:

Other than that, will be at Targa for a crack at Rookie, a year on the dirt in the VCRS and the occasional trackday with the WRX club in Vic.

Tassie is still the shizz...just dont make eye contact with the locals.

Well done mate. Be proud.

I've got a perfectly good fully built low km long motor laying around if you are interested Dunc? I took my old motor out just before targa wrest point and put in a new one as we didnt have time to identify the problem (turns out it was just a cracked head so my old motor which had really just done Targa rookie and a couple of other little things is sitting around covered in plastic).

Oh - and I'm also planning to make High Country. I should hopefully have time back on my side by then!

If it turns out that way and you need a Nav, I know of a good lightweight one who would be available :thumbsup:

after that i'll run the running in the tas super series, and hopfully there will be some more invitational races

I just posted my hillclimb series registration.

And did a deal on a 180SX to transfer my gear into :D No more zip ties and tek screws! I guess the novelty factor of running a complet sh.tbox wore off...

well the first round of the hillclimb series is this weekend :D I only just got the new 180SX fired up for the first time on Saturday, and drove it for the first time yesterday, so I'll guess it will be another example of working till the wee hours of Friday night getting it ready. Its not exactly finished - ran out of time & money to get everything done, so to get it going in time for round 1 I had to swap back to the standard 4stud front hubs & brakes with borrowed wheels & tyres. Combine that with the suspension changes I made while swapping all the gear over from the old car and anything could happen this weekend! At least it will be out there to hopefully collect some points for the series. Looking forward to another run at Mt Cotton as I haven't been there since 2007 in the old Datto 1200.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
