sheet, thats *this* saturday. Yup.. BP coomera sounds good. 8:30a is an early start, but I think I can make it :P

I'm staying at my mates place down the GC this weekend, so heading down that way anyhow. After DC i'll just head back to the GC.

I am out, picked the line up Friday and one of the turbos decided to shit itself, has been sent to Townsville for repairs but we are out. Feeling a little depressed so have decided not even to spectate.

Good luck to all those racing and make sure you take ALOT of photos of the bikini contest (as well as the racing).

Who is still coming to meet at Coomera tomorrow b4 heading off?

I am still up for it.. but the heat looks like it could put a huge damper over the whole thing if its the forecasted 41 degree heat ends up being a reality!! I know i'd never drag my car in that heat.

If the car turnout is going to be low due to the heat don't want it be a whole waste of time and trip. It seems quite likely ??

Can just save the money and spend the time in my mates pool instead :)

I reckon they should post pone it. If not for the attendees but for the drivers... **** sitting in a car with the windows up and no aircon on with long sleeves, long pants and shoes...

Yeah, seems stupid to be honest. There will be dramas somewhere. But guess you can't just "postpone" a large event like that for those coming from all around QLD and possibly interstate.

blk: by that theory get there early in the morning :) later in the day everybody could have given up and gone home. But no idea !

The postponed it last time it was one. I personally don't think it's such a big issue with this one as compaired to the last one. Last dragcombat was the only event for the whole country. This year they are taking it to nearly every state. But yeah, they postponed the last one, even if it was only for one day :D

Also, I've been watching the trends of the heat lately through the BOM website and it's actually the hottest in Ipswich/Amberley around 2ish in the afternoon, then it drops. So either early morning or late night is the way to go :)

They postponed it for one day last year because of the heavy rain.

So ...it's going to be hot, it might be less humid out there than in Bris. Cancelling would cost them a fortune and is simply not on,

We are taking the car out there ....and we will run, doesn't look good for 12's though.

Any of you guys make it out there,don't be shy, come and introduce yourselves....you might even get a cold drink. Look for a tatty maroon Rangerover with a silver 4 door beside it..shouldn't be hard to spot the number plate....51JAY, nice of him to let me drive his pride and joy

Anyway Ithink we should make the effort to support Drag Combat and we'll be doing our bit See you there

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
