LOL...because if anyone can remember my "Telstra can kiss my ass" thread...i get disconnected constantly. Still have to find out about this...might be my modem.

Also...I only have 300mb download, which I use up from just surfing!! Why waste 50mb on my account, when I can do it at work for free :wink:

gumball rally is a "race" from new york to LA, or LA to new york, cant remember which. i say "Race" because its more of a cruise for rich people with ferraris and porsches than it is an actual race. most people just cruise around and dont break the law, some of the people get more reckless than that. they drove through memphis (Where i live), but i missed them. there were several high speed pursuits right outside of the city here with lots of arkansas state police and helicopters, i think one of the lambos was doing 190+ mph on interstate 40 in traffic

gumball rally runs every year from new york to LA. it really is not a run to enter unless you have sufficient funds as lots of cars doing top speed runs over the course of a few days tend to die

a better cruise is running of the bulls which is a lambo cruise and they get police escorts everywhere as well. imagine a cruise lineup of between 50 and 70 lamborghinis driving past you. one word SENFARCKENSATIONAL.

this is the one cruise of my lifetime that i will do anything to attend

There were a couple of "gumball rally" type events held in Oz years ago. Not the Cannonball Run in the NT but Sydney-Perth.

Totally crazy stuff. The guys my mum knew got a falcon and modified the boot to be a fuel tank. 1 driving, 1 awake watching the driver, 1 asleep in the back. They'd change seats on the run and only had to stop for juice a few times.

The guy that won had a ute with a fuel tank that filled up the tray!!! 8O 8O

I think it died out after a few years when some of them got arrested.... :roll:

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
