Next event is in Grafton 6th/7th June mate and then Tamworth on July 18th/19th.

I have conned Duncan into coming to the next 2 long distance events,,,.He needs to work less and enjoy some racing for a change anyway.

Mel is getting lazy these days and I can always do with the help.

Cheers

Neil.

lol you better hope Mel never finds out the internet exists....I refuse to replace all her roles for you. Even if you take me to dinner first.

Mel doesn't give a shit to be honest mate,,,she just likes taking trophy's to work and sticking it up her known it all technicians.

So what are you saying,,,sounds like I should have gotten hired help,,,maybe I can find a stray or two up there.

I need to try and line up a weekend I can head up on one of these events again!

Unfortunately neither of those weekends is likely to work for me :(

What's your next meet after that?

So as usual I'm back into weight saving mode. This excellently crafted thing by Nissan has to go. It weighs in at 2.7 kilos.

To do it I have bought this, but I think It may not fit properly in hindsight.

So I may have to buy one of these

While I was at it I thought why not ditch the steel case around my Odyssey battey,,,took a bit of work,,,but I got it out without damaging the battery.

So thats a saving of 3.3 kilo's. I'll maybe add about 300 grams back in the battery holder,,,but 3 kilo's is a great result.

Well Matty, after Tamworth is Ringwood 8th/9th of August,,, which is by far the most crappyest climb on the calendar. It's on par with Collingrove in S.A.!!!.

Then Huntley on the 13th of September,,,then King Edward Park on the 4th of October.

The Aussie nats are on the 6th/7th and 8th of November in W.A. What about you and Sarah drive all my shit over there and I'll fly over and meet up at the airport. Sounds awesome to me.

Cheers

Neil.

Gee thanks you two mutherfuuckers,,,ones calling me a poof and the other wants to pelt me with 1/2 cut lemons.

Actually Jase I'm off the VB's,,,still not on the fancy catspiss like Fatz drinks,,, just good old Carlton Draught.

Cheers

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
