Samantha Reid’s appearance was short lived as she was eliminated last week on the Shannons Supercar Showdown. Only three contestants remain, with the young gun still in the running to win this year’s competition! It’s Australia VS New Zealand and the battle is going to be fierce.

The first elimination task is a simulated race. The contestants are starting to find their way around the Shannons / carsales.com.au V8 Supercar and beginning to feel confident behind the wheel of the 600 horsepower brute.

The Kelly brothers will be expecting the three to be able to abide by pit rules, get the cars up to temp between pits and put down some quick lap times. All in all, it is a tester for what is to come at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. Will anyone misbehave or disobey the strict guidelines? There’s always one who forgets something…

To help the contestants a little on this rather hard task, each was allowed a few laps riding shotgun with either of the Kelly brothers. This is a priceless experience, as watching the pros handle the V8 Supercar can only do good things for your own driving style – Car control, braking points and racing lines will all be explained during this drive.

The pit stop part of the challenge is what will catch most contestants out. Specific stopping points, gear and speed limiters and the overall time taken will be considered by the Kelly brothers. Will anyone be disqualified due to failing to adhere to the set guidelines?

Who will se the fastest pace – an Aussie or a Kiwi? Will their efforts be enough to put them on top of the leaderboard going into the final round of the Shannons Supercar Showdown?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      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
