Yeah that would suck.

My track history is very poor.

Sandown: few sessions learning, snapped alternator belt cost 3 hours.

PI: 2 novice sessions, clutch and sandwich plate fails, 2 more sessions with no clutch on downshift.

Winton: 4-5 sessions, misfire developed.

Sandown: session one strips aluminium wheel nuts. Session 2 motor blows.

Sandown: smooth sailing. Scare Simon with smoke in cabin due to poor catch can setup.

Calder: car at tuners, run into problems, 0 sessions (least it drove home)

Winton: 1x 50% session, half a passenger lap then motor blows.

So yeah only ever had 1 full track day.

This is one reason people choose to do their racing on the street

  • Like 1

Or how about on a track day, where you ALMOST make it unscathed but think "Nah, one more session" .....

This.

Virtually every major injury I had in my skiing career was from "just 1 more run"

A well hidden winery in Yarra Valley is the last place I expected to run into Simon on the weekend

Then again

4:30pm, nearing the end of 6 hours worth of winery tours... Zig Zagged into Leesh and Birds, random.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
