Here's Duncan and I, having a bit of fun with our in-car from the recent Mt Buller Sprint

(well you can't expect anything Duncan's associated with to be serious).

For the first time ever, hear what the nav actually says and what the driver actually hears during a competitive rally stage :wub:

Mt Buller In-Car: Handley & Handley

*UPDATED*: For those with short attention spans... here's the prologue :)

Great video Kel...maybe next time, lose the music so we can hear ya a bit better.

Music and Incar don't really go together unless you dont have intercom audio. As an added benefit we get to hear that RB sing :D

I wish mate....all I can hear from her is white noise!

nah we are just having a bif of fun, I actually do pay attention to Kel and she did an amazing job with the calls.

and the poor old rb wasn't singing....7psi thu a gtr is more like a crime than singing :D We will have it sorted properly next time.

The real gold would have come if we'd had sound from Duncan - something we're getting sorted for Lake Mountain.

We had a very sophisticated set up at Buller, consisting of the cam mike taped to the side of my helmet after having adaptor problems.

This was a fairly tame run. On a few of the later ones I was telling D to fark off and pay attention to me (along with some other choice phrases!).

Running the same road over and over makes these drivers a bit cocky and D was calling some of the corners before we got near them (and calling them mostly wrong mind you) :D

Will post some serious (no music) runs when we get our issues with uploading to Youtube sorted.

Wish I knew it was you guys off here - I was the guy that found and returned your Buller Sprint "ID" Kel! :D

Ahh thanks again for that and sorry we didn't know you were there - would have been good to catch up with another SAU-er!

So you were supporting Danny Cerro and Bianca in the Evo? We were speaking to those guys toward the end and they were really bringing down their times (dropping a minute from memory?).

Yeah, I was. They did drop a minute between their first and tenth run. More importantly, they kept themselves and the car in one piece.

Definitely the most important thing as it's not a road to be messed with as many discovered, including our mates in the TR7:

TR7 Off @ Buller

They were pretty lucky- just stuck on the bank with no actual damage to the car.

They did have a moment though when the exhaust heated up some dry leaves!

      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!
