7th in the overglorified cressida on proper street tyres - invest in semis i think next time, chase that pesky Cass coupe down....

Oh thems fightin' words! :P

I'll have to do something drastic... Like enter with only 1/4 tank of fuel!

was that from when you ran straight through up the top?

(i think that was you)

just noticed this, your asking about the cone strike? it was the 3rd set of cones, the gap had widened enough to roll straight through over the day and on the last run i didnt back off, saw the cone lying there and figured it wouldnt hurt too much if i risked nudging it.

i figured wrong.

heres another vid

alex hall in his NA Supra, very quick for an untuned car and first time driver, as in first time in any event like this!

Long shot but did anyone happen to get any footage of my red 33 (besides Fatz filming my failing launch)

I think I might invest in one of those in car telemetric thingys, bunsuns footage looks cool.

In Car from my last run, Super fun even in a "family wagon", apparently it was even mistaken for a van out on the track....

Also i couldn't workout how to embed with Vimeo, Any help with this??

Alex was a crack up on his first run

Came hammering up to my corner and locked up the brakes slid straight through haha

Very quick for a NA

Also goes to show driver skill pays a 99% part in your numbers

yeah gotta admit, the kid is quick.

He is spitting chips that my go pro failed to work on the run where he spun out, i cant even imagine where you would have room to do that on this course but he managed it. I can only imagine someone failed to hit the record button correctly re the go pro one but i got a few of my considerably less dramatic runs with it, will upload soon.

im still looking for the pics of vids of me getting sideways, someone was recording/snapping up on the hill as i came around with some decent angle on one of those faster runs. Please whoever that was, share me the pics!

My brother has the video of Alex spinning taking out all of the cones....was great.

i will get it from him as well as any other good stuff and post it,

guess im creating a you tube account then

nice, do it! we would all love to see it, especially Alex, seems the boy has no shame.

and yes, Youtube it.

Sites ok except for the fact it kills any music i try and add to my videos..copyright farken!

I was thinking on the way home last night about another place I have been too in Sydney that is similar to this and it just came too me.

Has anybody been to the H.A.R.T driver training centre on Mona Vale Rd at st Ives??

It has a little track down the back similar to sutton (but without the jump) if Sutton ever becomes a non option maybe the nsw execs could sus out if st Ives is a viable option????

I'll post up a pic later

Here is the other place I was talking about earlier, dosent look as technical as Sutton but still could be fun. Dont get me wrong Sutton was a tops day out, just though it might help get more of the Sydney folks involved.

I did try getting on there in the past and it was a no (cost vs what we get), but I'll try again soon. From what I've seen of it, it's nothing on Sutton, has WAY more trees on the side of the road and is shorter. Thanks though I will look into it again in the future, maybe as just a once off type thing :)

Yeah totally agree steveo no runoff at all, I came off in a work Hilux and ended up in the scrub lol.

Sutton would be first option every time. It is just another option if attendance becomes a major issue.

Did they ever give you a reason for not letting us on??

It is a Honda affiliated place so maybe cause we don't have vtec yo?

Well it's going back a long time and I cant remember 100%, but from memory it was along the lines of they didnt need the business and for the cost of us to hire and get insurance etc (basically all the expenses we would have to have in order to run the day to the level thats expected from SAUNSW) the price per driver entered was pretty high and it had a high amount of people to break even so basically it was too much risk for what looks to be a boring place in comparison to others available within a few hours drive :)

Thats not to say if it's doable now we wouldn't consider it. Hell, I'd like to give it a go once and I'm sure there's others in the same boat - even if it's pricey, just to say "yep done that".

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
