The show was pretty good. Was a bit better than the one last year. I think may was a better choice to partner clarkson this year. And the third guy was Greg Murphy this time...not the other kiwi guy from oz top gear. We did the paddock pass backstage thing which was pretty kool. Get to go look at the cars up close and go on the burnout pad etc. Would recommend it if you go.

Well im back from the show and i have to say i enjoyed it. Once again it was a good show even if they didnt have car soccer like last year haha. It was all pretty good really and i think it could of gone for longer really but oh well will just have to wait till next year :)

Saterday night 8pm show was awesome :D loved it to bits ... had some good humor and lots of cool stuff ... especially loved the heat changing paint that the Focus stunt team cars were painted in ...

They were dark grey then went into this big heat booth thing and came out white .... ( AWESOME )

Also loved the 1.3 million dollar rolls royce :D

Also took some pics of the GTR in all of its glory ... love that car

I also took part in the Harley davidson Dyno drags and on the dyno I ran an 11.18 second 1/4 mile :) not bad for my first go :( stuffed the start and could have been quicker again with practice those bikes were heaps cool ... a little bit different to the 09 Suzuki GSXR 750 that I ride ...

The show was good. A pity they only used half the arena so they had to try and fit alot of car stunts in a tiny space. Imagine what they could have done with the whole arena? But then where would they park the 30 cars they brought with them I guess. I arrived early so I got to have a good look at all the exhibits. Didnt see you among the 10 thousand attendees Gem, maybe next time lol.

I agree the show could be so much better if they had more room, but yeh it would be hard to fit it all in including the Tractor they had as well.

I thought it was pretty good, the missus got me front row seats in Row II, in the middle, the flames were really hot!

That Murphy dude killed it though, he wasn't funny, he wasn't witty.. The show would have been much better if it was just James May and Jeremy Clarkson IMO

And Hammond.

Why do they keep choosing kiwis as the 3rd presenter...Last year it was that dude from top gear oz.

Yeh +1 for voting that the 3 of them should come out would be way better.

    • 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.
