Yeh, really looking forward to seeing what the AMGs look like. Combination of Kelly Racing not having Murphy in their ranks. rather horrible looking cars with ho-hum drivers well ... its no Farmer Fury in a DR30!

Sad panda :(

The DVS ride of casey stonner's has arrived. It's actually an ex lowdnes chassis though it was originally said to be an ex whincup chassis.

Roland sold the chassis about 12 months ago and bought it back to run stonner in this season.

Good to see Aaron Tebbs running at the test in an ex Kelly racing VE, the car his testing arrived at the workshop literally in milk crates and on pallets only 5-6 weeks ago, credit to him to get the car assembled so quickly. Hopefully he can step up from national touring cars into DVS this year.

Old mate policina has netted himself a current spec car too Duncan. Running it from armourmotorsport in DVS, his come along way from the old combined touring days with virag and loscapio.

I'm not a v8's guy. Was horrified to learn of Stoner joining the series - a rider of his quality joining an (in my opinion) horribly boring series.

BUT then I remembered the new cars joining, Nissan's entry and next year (I think) the AMG's joining and my interest has been re-invigorated. So, I will watch for the first time in a long time this year, hoping, praying to jeebus that we finally have a decent world-class race series.

God knows, the MotoGP will not be the same this year. :( :(

You do realise that in the DVS there are no Nissans or AMG's dont you?

Not sure quite what Stoner will get out of a year in the development series - their cars are fundamentally different to drive than the COTF.

Hmmm, didn't realise he was only joining the dev series. :(

Been a long time coming for me, but here is the 2013 E63 AMG from Erebus Motorsports. Started working with Erebus early last year in developing the initial concept behind the AMG V8 Supercar, and the early development of the aero package.

^ congrats dude, the cars look stunning. Really hope they and Nissan mix it with Ford and Holden. I'm actually quite pumped for this year and will def get out to races in NSW.

Haven't watched a race on telly for years let alone been out to one, but can't wait now.

My sentiments exactly.

I didnt think AMG were joining til next year... Not sure what gave me that idea.

Cheers has been great working with the team and the cars, been nearly 12 months since i started on the designs!! and has been quite fun watching all the debate on will they wont they ect :-D

good luck this year, you must be stoked with what the team are doing. I understand there's some senior guys with a mile of experience in the category coming on board too.

and while I'm at it, well done with the B12H victory last weekend too...great way to start the year

Unfortunately i don't work full time with the team so was sitting in Adelaide watching the race online, was a great result to see, good for the team to step up and get the good result prior to starting in V8's... the base team has had success over the years, Betty's first team won the Aussie F3 series and competed in Asia as well

so.... Bernd Schneider for Enduro driver after B12 hr stints?

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
