Just a reminder that Drag Wars is on this weekend, so make sure to get down and support the event, either by entering or spectating. This is the last dedicated high-tech event for the year, so make sure you come on down. Details below.

Cheers

Paul

After a successful return to Quit Motorplex last season the popular Street meet for Vehicles powered by 4 cylinder , 6 cylinder and Rotary powerplants returns on Saturday night October 15.

There will be trophies and prizes for the quickest time recorded in each of the categories plus trophies and prizes for the winners and runners up in each of the brackets.

Go to www.motorplex.com.au click on the Hankoon 4,6, Rotory dragwars under events and you'll see a pic of my car :) hehe

I won't be there unfortunately ;) I have a family function on that day.

Has anyone seen any advertising for this event, either on TV, radio, newspapers or flyers? Just wondering how much promotion is being given to Hi-tech events.

pauly, the 1st i heard about the event was here in this thread, i would have made an effort to have my car ready if i knew there was a drag event coming up

I actually heard on the radio last night at the gym, but still think there is a severe lack of promotion of this event. Hopefully we can improve that in the future.

The government wouldn't be happy with that though, having publicised nights dedicated to this sort of thing. It would mean less cars to impound, and less stories for the news about all those young hoons in high performance cars. Today Tonight will be feeding on scraps.

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
