it is an issue. they have effectively built a racetrack around public land and are not paying appropriate rent for it because the land rests in a trust of which 40% of the controlling vote are members of the MRC.

we dropped in on the way past and it's a fair shithole and could be used far more effectively.

im not defending the racecourse members club, just seemed silly to suggest the space could be used for childrens sporting clubs and that 400 kids missed out on playing sport

Basiclly I did everything stupid you can do.

That was 100% my stupidity.

I've done a bunch of driver training for newbies first thing I tell them you never set a record lap first thing in the day.

Take it easy warm into the track and then start pushing it.

So first thing on a 2 day track da, on a cold greasy track with cold semis I hit the throttle

Don't blame the car.

On a plus note car looks crap but still straight and still is happy doing laps and or limiter bashing on skid pans.

I knew tassie was having electricity issues since December, and had heard things were being kept a bit hush hush.

Dams there are under 15% capacity and apparently using around 1% a week, supposedly they can run to a theoretical 6.5% but has never been done before. A few big industries have been asked to shut down and apparently are being compensated. That, plus big back-up generators are being put online would cost a fortune. Hiring a big-ass generator is costing $20mil and will cost $11mil per month to run. ouch.

Over 300MW of power comes from wind, which apparently operates at 40% capacity on average.

Temporary diesel and gas generators are being organised or have already been turned on, and a 200MW temporary generator puts into perspective how small a part wind really plays. You cant rely on that shit in an emergency!

    • 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.
