Hi Paul, Matt here. You changed your box in my friends (JTRACING) pit garage. It was good to see twoogle run so hard in the drags, pity the judging seemed a little one sided. I spose it was "street drags" and what you encountered was nothing you wouldnt get on the street. We should have expected some wanker to claim victory in a race he lost, just it is usually in the pub a week later.

I am interested in the specs of your roll cage, Will it include side intrusion bars ? Any idea on cost ?

Thanks

Hi Matt, it is ANDRA spec cro-moly...i.e as per the spec sheet out of the ANDRA rule book and must include side intrustion bars. The cost is around $2500.

A GTR could not possibly have won, i had an inkling something like that would have to happen. Possibly should have kept my head and asked for the best out of three as the guy dropping the flag was playing games with the start too. Even still a race off with the HB Torana for runner-up should have been offered as i clearly had the wood on him too!

Cool,

I must have a look at Jamies ANDRA book when I am up at the shop next time.

The margin in the final was such that you probably would have beaten the runner up by a significant margin.

FWIW the gold "GASSED" cortina? threw a leg out of bed on the very next pass. The motor was totalled.

Well me and a mate went on the Friday and if it wasn't for the Burnout comp late that nite and seeing/hearing TWO.06L scream around the track I gladly would have asked for my money back.

The friday was incredibly unorganised, their were about 3 proper displays (took me a whole 30mins to see everything), the dyno comp was on and off all day, the drifting well.... after a 1hr wait at turn 2 (expecting plenty of action obviously) they did a whole 2 laps before it was over, what a waste of time that was. Not to mention on the first lap a guy in a 180SX had engine trouble and was stranded on the inside ripple strip of turn 2. The marshal was happy to just sit and wave the yellow flag not even trying to assist him with moving his car off the track, instead he gladly let all the cars drift around the 180. A rescue ute even drove over to the marshal and then disappeared again. I was just waiting for a massive accident on the main straight from the cruise too (just like what happened in the street racing if anybody happened to witness that).

Their were more marshals at the Dyno Comp then their was for the entire event, 1 guy was walking around with his marshal shirt undone like he was at the beach or something, he looked and acted like a drunk dropkick and i gladly gave him a serving... he wasn't too impressed.

I did intend to go for the Fri+Sat (knowing that it probably would be bigger and better on the weekend) but after the very dismal effort on fri I decided against wasting another $50 on the Sat and did some other things instead.

I went on the Friday as well and totally agree with what was said above - I went home pretty dissapointed to be honest...thinking to myself that I get more action for $15 on a Wednesday night at WSID. Although I was somewhat glad to hear that at least the Sat and Sun were a lot better, so I'll probably give it another go if there's another one in August. I'll put the Friday down to a few organisational stuff up's due to having a new event at a new venue.

That's exactly what my mate said, better value for $15. I'll happily go again (hell I go to all the EC/WSID events.. except Motor Bikes pfft, I practically live there) but next time i'll make sure that I attend on a sat or sunday.

Looking forward to this w/ends "Holden vs Ford + Bandag Bullet + Burnout Comp" at WSID, now that will be $25 well spent. Then the following week the "Compack Attak" is on :)

We went out on the friday to spectate and got excited by the fact that you could let loose out on the track . So With an old set of rear wheels and my 4wd fuse in hand we ready to enter on the saturday but when I got up it was raining so we didn't bother . If there is another event on in August like mentioned? will certainly be entering and joining in with the skyline crew to show these v8 boys a thing or two . :)

Hey Paul + Stace

Did you notice that the powercruise site does not list you in the top 4 of the street racing.  The place is blank where I would expect you to be named.  

There is $200 going wanting there + a trophy !!

Get onto it!

Matt

we have e-mailed them about this issue....and recieved no response back (typical)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
