I seriously don't understand how he did that with a cat. Lol your exhaust temps must be through the roof for it to be able to continue ignition after the cat to the tip

Dead cat?

I haven't had that happen when I pooped the 'cooler piping, just bucketloads of black smoke in Otways. So if you see a dead tree, I might be responsible for that :ninja:

If it's running rich enough it can still flame. His cat may also be stuffed. Still has to get pretty hot though!

Driving down glenferrie road and this big f**king spider crawls across my bonnet :(

god i hate spiders

Spiders are attracted to you didn't you know?

Me no know

Haven't done anything to the cat

Guessing a shit load of fuel got dumped in when the cooler pipe blowed off. Apparently the flames were seriously long and went for a little while as I tried to get back to the pits as I didn't want to get towed off.

That didn't work....still got towed off...

yeh your exhaust temps must be seriously high lol. for it to combust after the cat is pretty f**ked.

lol anyone get video?

Did you pay for the tow Toby?

towed back to pit lol

Hrmm..

Towing to the pits was free

I was under the impression at all track days its free to tow to the pits

Maybe your crash at DECA was a bit different :P Deca fee is quite low so probably doesn't cover it

Well, the $680 was for my first SAU cruise on GOR, I pooped the 'cooler piping somewhere in Otways, nannying back to the motel and got it towed next day, then towed it again to mechanics only to find busted 'cooler piping clamp (I still have the busted clamp)

DECA Shepparton to my place was $500.

Had another tow from my old place to Sabbadin to fix broken turbos, clutch, balancer, and also did 100k service at same time blah blah blah was $80.

Jack @ citywide towing is getting bit rich off me!

Track days have recovery vehicles to pull cars out of the dirt / kitty litter and off the track so people can get on with their racing. The tow is back to the pits and free; they are being paid to be there...

Towing back from DECA or GOR to Melbourne is a little further lol.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
