Super taxi's are super shit. Put whatever badge you like on it underneath its still the same damn car.

Close racing my arse, close procession of ugly looking 4 door hacks is more like it. I've seen more overtaking in wheelchairs down the hall at donerootin nursing home.

Whoever decided that an uglyarse 4 door family stomper would make a good looking race car should put the crack pipe down. In comparison GT1 cars look freakin porn.

Cochrane and his puppet show can suck my large male chicken.

Couldn't have said it better!!

To say the cars are the same underneath is a false accusation.

Has anyone actually seen the underside of several current generation supercars from various camps?

They do share the same formula, wishbone suspension, live axle rear ends etc but the cars are worlds apart in terms of geometry, component design etc.

The new COTF should provide an equal build quality,some of the cars you see on TV currently have a build quality on par with some of the average drifters doing the rounds. I'm not exaggerating either some of them are seriously terrible.

to be hoenst i'm not sure if the COTF will work out or not. they tried the same thing in NASCAR a few years back with the redesigned body e.t.c, and have since moved back to the old body style and regulations as far as i am aware. i dont follow NASCAR as much as i used to but the race last weekend at richmond were using the old style cars

I suspect the NZ Supertourers point the way things are going. The cars are identical apart from some body panels and badges - control chassis, wheels and tyres, 7L chevvy engine, control sequential gearbox, Link computers etc which doesn't stop the publicity department from urging people to support the "Holdens" or "Fords"! and they are saying - look out for the "Nissans"!

The engines - on the positive side they are dry sumped - on the down side they only produce 575 hp - less than some RB30s!

Yeah lets compare exotic european brand sports cars to aussie made family cars, great work!

Nah lets not.Lets just compare aussie made family cars to euro made family cars like bimmers, mercs, audis, vw's etc. Thy make touring racers of them too.

Great work indeed :rolleyes:

Yesterday's quali Race 2 yesterday delivered the goods. Edge of the seat for the 20 odd laps.

Todays 500 was a bit boring overall :/

have to agree with the quali race, best of seen in V8's for years

I watched some of the race because nothing else was on, but didn't really have a problem walking away from it.

It's hard to watch after watching Formula 1 for so long. I guess it helps when you have a team/driver you really want to win

You said GT1 cars.......looking at the GT1 grid (which is near extinct and likely won't even exist next year) we have:

Aston Martin DBRS9

Audi R8 LMS Ultra

BMW E89 Z4

Ferrari 458 Italia GT3

Ford GT

Lamborghini Gallardo LP600

McLaren GT MP4-12C GT3

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3

Porsche 911 GT3 R

......all of which are 2 door sports cars and you are comparing them to Ford and Holden 4 door family cars worth about $40k in the road going version.

is that because it had too much over taking and close racing compared to a F1 race? i like F1, but it's pretty boring compared to tin top racing (although this year has been much better than pervious years). most of the overtaking happens in the pits and the cars don't get close to each other. it's more a game of chess with cars than a race.

I actually watched most of the 500 start/finish. Got up to make food and do some emails but could still have the TV in earshot should something interesting happening.

Lots did happen over the course of the race, was some good moments, but like all enduro there was a good slabs of sections where there was no action and hence doing other things :D

Bring on Bathurst. Always a good enduro to watch, especially pit stops given brakes are being changed and other fun things.

I do like the CH7 commentary too, getting in and among the teams in real time with interviews constantly for updates is really interesting and some good characters in the paddock as always.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
