very sad news. sorry to hear of two young guys loosing their lives. anything can happen in a car at any time and it's not necessarily a reflection on them or us that tragedies like this happen. it can and does happen to people all the time on our roads.

my condolences to their families and friends, it's so sad to see another's life cut short.

icon_sad.gif tragic stuff. Only found out today. I remember from Gerard's posts and his responses to some of mine it was clear he was a man passionate about his cars and engineering. He was very quick at the track in an mx too.

Good to see the SAU and cartalk communities responding so thoughtfully.

Thinking of everyone who was close to him and Tom icon_sad.gif

Hey sheri...Me and Kate will be there on monday.

Just returned home from Nicks.

Alex it was a wonderful service and 'im sure Gerard would of been proud..

Once again i'm very sorry for your loss but you held yourself together beautifully on a very emotional day.

Although I didn't know him as well as most of you it was good to pay my respects to the first person that welcomed me to the world of racing..

I wish I had a chance to get to know him more then what I did on the occasions we spoke.

Thanks to all that attending and to all that lent their support.

It was a beautiful day for a very beautful guy.

I am so happy with how everything went, he was spoilt the whole time.

I doubt anyone has had a more awesome coffin..!

Mazdaspeed herro kitteh is now with him forever (heheheh and he thought he could get rid of it by taking it off the car =P)

Thanks again..!

much love

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
