John you looking at sat or sunday?

if the weather forcast for sun is still ok later in the week i'll prob come along as well.

Both if they are not raining, else the one where there is no rain.

$340 to sign up for both days, $200ea otherwise.

Sunday is timed, Saturday is not. Doesn't bother me either way.

Also Jack did you realise that the track was wet?!?!? In the wet the car was still entering turn 11 at mach 3.

Disappointing day :( Was having car issues anyway, so probably best for the car that it was rained out.

Thanks for helping with my Power FC hand controller Ant. Good to meet you and thanks for the entertaining entries onto the front straight!

Now to wait for PI in august...

Yeah got some good video (including of the off :P ) Camera position was decent, can see around the mirror, but will be better with the arm extended. Will upload them to YouTube when I get a chance.

Also Dean, if youre around. Sorry for not jumping in the car with you. The official that was with Justin say they had it all sorted.

For Phillip Island come grab me, as they generally do a sighting lap for new drivers right at the start of the day.

A 32 is pretty damn good, that was your first time ya?

helps to have a really crappy time to beat!

Katie took a few pics if anyone wants them:

Nah mate, brakes worked fine, was carrying heaps of speed through the first kink and to avoid running into the back of Luke hit the anchors hard, car tried to do a 'Brisby' on me and face the other way, managed to miss the armco and Luke....

Serves you right for trying to CHEAT!

How you finding the driving position in the Evo as a giant Jack? I guess you can probably sit a bit further back than me, but that would put the steering wheel even further out of reach. Also the pedals are all wrong, I find my heel hits either the carpet or my toes are on the pedal stem. The dash is also a problem, its so chunky and goes down so low.

God I am happy to have a working skyline again - slotted straight back in.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA that made my morning :cheers:

Anyway looks like the evo will take a bit of getting used to Jack... no doubt with more seat time you will be punching out low 20's soon :thumbsup: cheaterer :P

Contour GPS. Same as HD but has an embedded 4hz GPS unit as well, I think they fixed the sound issues the early HD's had as well.

The camera writes GPS data to the MOV file. Drop the single file into DashWare and you are done.

The video quality on the GoPro is only slightly better imo.

What I do like about the Contour is the package format (size of the camera) is much smaller and neater. And you can twist the lens.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
