yea 8 million is good but i would have thought a proper track would cost more than that ??? could be wrong though and i would be giving it 2 - 3 years before any thing starts to happen with it... planning will take them forever as no matter were they put it someone will bitch about the nature problems or noise pollution etc etc

hope it gets up though.

Gezz, finally !!

They have been crapping on about it for so long...

Hmmm, 8 million...  Will that build a 1/8 mile or a 1/4 mile strip.  I hope that they will build a 1/4 mile strip...

OMG - surely they wouldn't be so STUPID as to put another 1/8 mile in????-- :D

Nah - no way will organisers let that happen again!!!!

It'd be really nice, but I wonder how good an $8million dollar 1/4 mile would be, (not being scarcastic) because I remember hearing that WSID cost the govt close to $30 million. WSID is a world class facility though..... so a not so awesome venue in Canberra may scrape in a little cheaper..... any thoughts.... even better.... anyone out there built a dragway before? :)

It'd be really nice, but I wonder how good an $8million dollar 1/4 mile would be

I'd be happy with a flat 1/4 bit of tar, staging lights, and a finish line... Oh, and a sand trap at the end :)

I reckon we could the boys together and knock one up in a weekend for a couple of hundred bucks :D

:)

:headspin:

man dont believe the stanhope government ive heard that they have basically said yeah will put the money up but stall for as long as it takes on giving land over so basically its election games o they look good to the public, however that said im dark on the liberals as well as they promised a dragway when they had power and renigged your pushing s.hit uphill trying to believe a polly.

I'll believe it when I see it, and believe me I'd like to see it

I remember reading something on Performance Forums the other day about someone picking up on a loophole to do with the lease that the farmers are on out at Majura, which would allow the government to say "Oh, bugger, can do it there. And now we have to find another suitable venue. Which is too hard. Oh well."

Ha, they'll say anything to get into power, but they rarely follow through. I remain unconvinced. They may go about finding a site, but like eveyone said, it'll just fall through or something and the government won't talk about doing anything again till the next election.

I agree guys - my initial excitement has died down a bit - the more I think about it and the more I read about it and hear their broken promises from the past, I am firmly convinced it is just an election furphy as well..... Unless they can commit to a site (and the greenies don't find that two toed pink frog) then there is no way I am going to vote for em this election....

:);):P

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
