Roy - you are jumping the gun. Again. Your doctor can help with these premature issues you have.

Something that was going to be raised at the General meeting was competiton within the club. My thoughts were to have competiton classes within the club. Was going to be calling on you and Geoff for input on this etc.

But lets tackle this hurdle when we get to it. Right now just keep this as a little wanky toy thread! :rofl:

How about this one?

Actually I already spoke about price and they will be around $900 for the basic Kart type and $2000 for the car suitable one with the large readout.

Your's is a good price. When do I see it?

Yeh they look trick, though ony have two inputs which is a shame.... mine has the integral lap timer and 4 inputs wich is still shy 2 or 3 when you look at the things i wanted to monitor...but where does the rice stop..... at a $4000 Motec ADL? :rofl:

top price Roy, I paid onver 600 for mine :rofl:

THey don't do quarter mile or anything like that, basically all the have is a little infra red receiver in the car, and it counts how long between going past the beacon. You put the beacon on the start finish line and it will tell you how long each lap was.

These are a great idea if you are serious about track days, you can see straight away whether you are getting faster or not....without a timer you never know whether you really did get it right....

- Weight 85g

Ridiculous. I can't afford to have that much extra weight in the car. That would bring it from a Stage 372 Weight Reduction to a Stage 368 Weight Reduction!!! ;):)

j/k :) Yeah, I paid AUD$600 for my lap timer from the UK, and it's pretty much the same thing (this is probably the newer model)... Great price! :rofl:

D00d...motor first...then fun toys ;)

I already have my fun toy, its sitting under my bed waiting to get my car back :D

But i saw these when looking for my "Atari" and remembered Merli/Duncans was more expensive...so i dont need one, but since im talking to the guy i thought id see if anyone else is interested , like Duncan said they are worth their weight (mmm only 85g) in gold for the feedback they give you on whether certain gears/lines are quicker thru corners :D

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
