well for those that didnt come u missed out on a great day at the track...

heres a couple of vids of CEF-ZLA going around the track at the hand of NZD1 driver Jarius during the first heats to get into the top 16... bloody awesome effort considering this was the only time he had ever been in my car

right click and save as - this is Jairus's second pass... first time he was even in the car so he didnt exactly have much time to prac in it to get used to it.

right click and save as - 3rd pass... mmmmmmmm

i dont have enough webspace for high quality... nah just him... he was doing some filming for something... cant remember what... he was robbed of a higher placing if u ask me... he was far better than the qlder in the onevia

Yeah he was doing some fulming for TV Un Zud 4.

It was a killer, after the first run he had with the Onevia it was one "win" each so we re-ran it. Then when he was following the Onevia he did a big fast entry into the last corner at about double the speed of the front car so if he hadn't stop drifting he would have hit the car in front. So unfortunately he lost becasue of that.

But he was one of the three fastest guys on the day with his entry speed. Also he was one of the nicest guys you will meet. Anyway, apart from burnt little patches where I missed with sunscreen on my arms it was good.

Also two drivers were unhappy about decisions, so we will have to find out exactly what happened.

yeah but from what i was told in breifing the onevia should have been imitating him but instead went in a lot hotter cause he wasnt doing that last corner in one motion... so technically he caused that clash himself... but none the less he was damn good (the guy in the onevia) and yeah hes a top bloke Jairus... got a long real well.

he gave me card to keep in touch... im going to check the D1NZ schedule for 2005 and try and head back for a round.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
