nah it was better than ever this weekend.

Last corner I missed the tyres by about 3cm.

I think I fell off because there was oil coming out of my catch can onto the tyre, emptied the catch can when I got home and there was about 50ml of oil in there... Fkn more oil came out than stayed in!

I concur... It was a left hand corner, your catch can is on the right hand side (from the drivers seat), with the breather ingeniously placed on the right hand SIDE of the catch can, makes sense that if it had a bit of oil in it, it could slosh out the breather and straight down in front of the front right hand (and outside, taking the most weight) wheel :/.

Catch can is coming out and being sent away for some modification by someone who actually knows how catch cans work.

oh, don't watch the video in the embed on this page, the sound is like 50 times better when you watch it in youtube.

Is it just me, but when I'm doing zig-zags on the back straight here

Does the car just not want to turn left?

Time attack really opened my eyes to the comprises I make not only in my car setup, but also my life style. If I want to be better I need to practice and develop the car more, and that costs money. You're all my witness when I say, no more beer unless its a super special occasion and no more junk food, no more spending $15 on a take out meal when the supermarket is closer and cheaper. Postie bike development halted, no more motocross... Gotta start doing it right!

For those who are interested and don't follow me on facebook I'll give you a little update to my pledge.

I've stopped buying & Drinking Beer, fkn hardest thing I've ever had to do. But I've saved a tonne of cash and I'm feeling heaps better.

motocross is dead :( Makes me sad but doing skids is more important right now.

My starting weight was 125kilos and now I'm down to 90 kilos. So making pretty good progress there, only down side is my Sparco evo 3 doesn't fit me anymore and a slop around in it all the time and I'm even further away from the seat because my back fat was propping me up! hahaha.

So yeah, that's all going well :) I'd like to say it's helped with driving but I can't be sure. I know I'm better than I've ever been now but why? We'll never know...

    • 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.
