I believe that funky is sri lankan and at the moment is in NSW. I know that his mum and dad?? are in NSW so heopfully this wont be a sad holiday for him or his family or anyone else on this forum for that matter.

It truely is a tragedy and one that should really have been a lot less severe if the countries other than Sumatra were warned as there was a 2 hour gap between the time it hit sumatra and the time it hit Sri Lanka and the other cournties.

when I heard penang was hit I was soooo thankful to god that my gf had left from penang with her family a few days before as she was holidaying there a couple of days before christmas... she rang me to ask me if I knew anyone affected, and all I could say was "thank god I've still got ya".

As for me n my fam its been a good christmas, no one that we know are directly affected. Apparently there's been a bit of mild flooding on the street outside our old house in colombo. My fam is mostly based on the western side of Sri Lanka which wasn't so badly hit.

Was wierd tho, we were all pretty amazed how ALL the lankans were workin together, disregarding the civil war that just seems to have passed. I guess it takes an act of nature to point out how small we are in the grand scheme of things and that its pretty stupid to be in a civil war over such a small island. Hope the feeling brings together all its people.

that's unbeleivable 100,000?

I'll be heading down to the Maldives mid Feb for my honeymoon, Just got news from the resort that it sustained no damage...thank god...My future in-laws just made the payment last week, there was a great chance that he wouldn't of been able to get a refund, if the resort had been destroyed.

Now I'm a bit worried if somethin happens when we're over there, cause we'll be in the huts that or on the water. Hopefully it'll be sweet I just wanna enjoy my honeymoon.

my heart goes out to the people who are suffering :D

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
