A beer is the last thing you'll want after running/walking that far!!!

I've done it 2 years in a row and it's good fun. People along the way hose you down out of they're front yards, there's people having parties alongthe way etc... it's a great atmosphere.

The only problem is getting home after the event as the public transport gets VERY packed out!

Hehe - cool.

I'll try and wear some form of SAU or Team Wang identifying clothing.

Should be easy to spot in the 65,000 other people ;)

How bad is the hill? Steep, or just long?

The hill is more long and winding then steep.

Two tips.

1)

Get a drink at every drink stop, whether you think you need it or not. And make it water NOT[\b] whatever sports drink they're trying to palm off that year. The sugar will only speed up your dehydration whilst your running. Save thos drinks for after.

2)

Stay clear of those idiots spraying you with water from their hoses. They shouldn't be wasting the water for one and the extra weight it adds to you at the end of the race really makes it hard on those last few flat sections. Especially when your shoes and socks are soaked through.

Good luck man.

If there is one good thing with us getting no rain these days its water restrictions. Normally alot of the people in the house you go by have a hose out. Last year there was not one. So again this year there will be no hoses. So your feet will keep dry.

If you keep your eye out you should be able to get about 4 free beers and 2 glasses of wine along the way. Just look out for house parties.

For the pub crawlers there are 2 pubs on the way and plenty at the finish.

Also look out for the krispy kream donuts at the end.

75mins - wooh!

Thanks for the lovely weather Kel - I really appreciate it :)

Was good fun - that hill is a killer... but I think the worst bit is the little rise as you pass the end of the beach in Bondi. Shall do it again next year - and try to bust 70mins.

Bris: About to head to the airport now :P

Is a superb day here - wish I could stay. How long you up for?

Must be in Melb on the 27th :D

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
