In the news today ... article

It mentions that a proposal is being put together for a track at Avalon. Does anyone know more? It's been talked about for some time, but I'm keen to know if it has legs this time.

It also talks about Ecclestone meeting with a guy in New York to talk about a race around Staten Island. Are they mad? They're already building a permanent track in Texas for the US GP. Last time they tried two US GPs it didn't work too well...

A track at avalon would suck a fair amount of wang, the setup they have now is beyond fantastic. Middle of the city, lots of entertainment just outside the track and its EASY to go home... dont underestimate how glorious that is.

Staten Island wont happen, i have my doubts about Austin turning into a popular event (admission wise).

12 hours until track time yo!! been 8 months since i heard these guys in the flesh, cant wait for the wet and wild action

Avalon would be terrible, as ctjet said, the current location is brilliant as far as what it offers outside the track. I can't see attendance increasing at avalon, more likely to decrease if anything.

As for the comparing of times between Lowndes and Button, keep in mind how many times Lowndes has lapped Bathurst compared to Button.. His the similar time is good, but don't get too excited about him being in the same league as a driver that's not much chop in F1..

Scored a ticket for tomorrow, so I'll head down after work and watch some practice...Saturday/Sunday will be OneHD for me this year though

These new wings are pretty cool watching them use them during practice today!

just starting to get some full laps in now too. should be interesting!

One HD are streaming their coverage on their website for those not at home or near a tv ;)

Hopefully they show practise from other races this season as well.

Would be nice if they do but i doubt it! netball is more important!

Looks like they have plenty of grip when putting the power down and Vettel seemed to be getting the wing open way earlier than anyone else that they showed in that session. HRT didnt even manage to get a car on the track and Virgin were way off the pace, a lot of work to do for these 2 teams before qualifying. Ricciardo was in front of Buemi until Beumi pipped him with a lap after the end of the session.

Good to hear the F1's today. I was right above the pitlane exit in the Shell Corp box bit for a while and in the Ferrari Pits for a bit as well.

Massa is SO small. I couldn't get over it...

Also managed to get a crack in the F1 Simulator that Massa was using yesterday here in Fed Square (apparently there was some big thing on).

The Ferrari dude running the sim said, through a thick italian accent, that the drivers spend almost 1 day/week in them... That's a lot of seat time and they are not particularly comfy lol.

Tell you what though, it's so realistic i was shocked, as close as i'll ever get to driving something like that.

I'll do a write up with pics and stuff when i get a chance over the w/e. Some rather interesting stuff i found out about it. F1 truly is something where money isn't an issue!

I still love the porka cup cars though, man they just sound sooooo nice.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
