I marshalled at the Special Stage last year, got to sit in the middle of the track for the whole day having rally cars screaming around me, it was so awesome i almost had to change my pants. i got to hold up the exit signs when they'd done their laps, and i had a cool yellow flag in case someone stacked it. i don't think i'll be doing it this year though, but i'd like to go see some of the regular rally stages.

the special stage would be a better watch. you can see the cars for more than 15 seconds at a time and most of the drivers pussie foot over the mine shaft anyway. its only 3 or 4 cars in the field that attack it at full noise.

cruise would be good. see you at the museum..............

bah. i volunteered for the rally and received all the papers, but had to cancel as i'm making a trip up to sydney this weekend, they had me doing road closures on sections at mineshaft and kowen south, bit peeved.

should be great anyway, rally cars driving through canberra, you get to see some awesome machines this time of year.

Hey guys,

my suggestions if ur looking at the rally for the 2 days are(these are my suggestions, if u head out please read all info packs and make your own decisions)

sat, (if ur happy to drive a little bit)

Greenhills I - first car start at 8.08

Kowen for the middle 2 stages, the speccy point here is for kowen north and south. so if there are cars in both stage(usually happens) then you could see 2 maybe 3 cars at once.

then head over and do Fairnbairn Super special.

on sunday

Start with Bluetts II

then head in to see some of either Keefs(This is Kowen south and North combined) or fairbairn park

then high tail it back out to see mineshaft.

also although cars will be sitting on the speed limit the service park area at sutton driver training complex is a great place to see all the teams working on there cars.... last year some spectators were even lucky enough to take home broken car bits from teams that gave them permission....

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
