I just read we are losing the v8 supercar round

http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/06/23/239811_motorsports.html

pretty gay as it's the main race event for the year. Even gayer that Lara just spent 18x the cost of the v8's on sponsering the hawks!

It's not even a direct 1.3m cost... it's just free shipping across (1.3m retail in tt line tickets)

Spend 1.3 (more like 750k actual cost) to get 3.3 back into the economy... daaaa??

Who cares about football anyway!!

And on top of it all, the 20 schools they are closing- they have to give the school stimulus cash back! ha ha ha.

Tasmania's grucked! :domokun:

Shakes fist at over paid pollies :glare::angry:

They can't be that over paid either if they're not all suicidal about their pay rate freeze.

I almost had a heart attack when they were talking about public service jobs and pay freeze on the news, I wasn't really listening and I thought for a second thinking I wasn't going to get a raise this year :'(

Luckily this was not the case.pirate.gif

Hi ben

As you are well aware deb and i do our best to go to 2/3 v8 rounds every year,but probably no more i will just still go to queensland and race nev's car twice a year.

I am going to eastern creek in august for the drive around with agression with nev.

the baby is going great now,i had also needed to replace one coil pack.

You would think the tassy govenment would want to keep the v8 because of the financial gain to bussinesses and the popularity of the sport.but no they would drop a good thing and poor a shit load more of our money into another football venture,just so they can big note themselves.

it seems to me thay want to be better than the jones.

in roll on effect, cost of every track day at symmons just went up hugely, due to no big players pumping cash in for a well prepared and maintained venue.

in summary, take from poor (motorsport tas) give to rich (aus football league).

football is a self sustaining thing because of all the advertising involved, unlike motorsport which is steadily dying in australia because of governments and a nanny nation full of sit at home watch tv have no goals in life work eat sleep repeat types.

Football can bite the big one, I've said from the start with the Hawthorn deal that there is no way in HELL that they would be generating the money/tourism that the government keep stating they are from football games in Tasmania.

WHY would people come to Tassie to watch a game here when they can/could go to the MCG/SCG etc it just doesn't add up???

Sure they reckon that surveys are always done to ask where people are from and if travelling interstate and paying for accommodation but I still smell a rat and it all started with that retard Bartlett. Why would we push so hard for football games let alone a Tassie AFL team when there are so many things that the money could be spent on around the state that are actually neededdomokun.gif

V8's are here this year and I have no doubt that they will be back next year and the one after and this is all just hype.

      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?
