Should've asked him today - saw him with a bunch of guys at Ikea in Moore Park. Out of all places in the world you wouldn't expect to bump into him at a small cafe inside Ikea? LOL.

Ikea: It's all about the Swedish Meatballs, baby...

You should have said Hello, I don't bite - well, not normally... :cheers:

Hows the rebuild going mario.

Not good. ANDRA just ****ed us - again.

It appears that the engine parts we have just had made have been rendered useless - because ANDRA made us a promise that they couldn't (or never intended to) keep.

It appears that they intend on banning all leaded race fuels as of June this year, so we went through all the hassle of getting the ELF124 sorted, new engine internals designed, only to be told that we probably won't be allowed to use it...

So, no idea what is happening now. Welcome to drag racing back in the '50's...

Mario.

Mario you are a TOOL its not ANDRA it's the goverment just like leaded fuel at the servo

You are the only tool here - for talking about shit you have no understanding of.

Were you there when the agreement was made?

Were you there when the payment was made?

Were you a party to the discussion for the santioning of the fuel?

ANDRA made promises (and also charged people) to sanction this fuel. They took money and made promises that they couldn't (or didn't intend) on keeping.

ANDRA is quite adept at laying the blame at someone elses feet (in this case, Environment Australia) but the fact remains - they knew what the hell they were doing, they knew what they were promising was not possible - yet they misled people (like us) into paying them what amounted to extortion in order to sanction a fuel for use that they knew wouldn't be worth shit in a little over 6 months.

In future, keep your retarded opinions to yourself - twat.

Mario.

GTR700 is using Motec M800 Ecu with every addon possable.

GTR700 is also having traction problems which is there current limiting factor, The 8.2 sec run was done at 66% of max power so there is still alot more left to go.

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
