Thanks for putting the results up Ryan, Well done to the winners and place getters.

Cheater Evo FTW!

Two WD's, I need to learn the maps more, that cost me an almost top three finish! :rofl:

My motorsport bug is returning... YIPPEEE!

See you at the next one!

Exactly! I WD'd hard and epic fail, but I was having too much fun to care!

Hopefully I will take it more serious in nov....but i doubt it.....who ever thought EMO's could lose the back end and flat spin :(

Thats exactly why i like stop gates...it forces people to time their braking correctly or risk hitting the cone...anyone can floor it through a flying finish...but it takes practice to stop quickly and accurately in a gate...

LOL.... Just call me 'anyone'. :rofl:

i was doing the timing on the long wang and you'd be surprised how many drivers didn't floor it through the flying finish.

looked like a lot of people were backing off over the crest and not getting back on the gas down the hill again. easy worth a second or two there.

Tim in the Micolour R32 is a prime example of someone who stays on it all the way to the finish >_<

If you haven't been to DECA a couple of times before its very intimidating flooring it over a blind hill you're not familiar with. Once you're at the top though there's no excuse not to stomp it.

Navigators?? its not a 50km tarmac stage.. all the maps are rather basic.. Next deca we are doing uber mega hard maps :(

Championship has been rejigged and will be up again soon. Overall now not only combines 2WD and AWD competitors but all the point accured by each driver in any car. This sees for a much closer final round.

That may be true, but that doesn't stop people from getting WDs as many have! Actually this DECA was pretty good in terms of map ease, Charles didn't have to help much but it was nice to confirm I was doing the directions right. Look forward to some complex ones next time, will make the navigator more useful! :wub:

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
