That catch tank looks familiar...

Darren at Mood motorsports made mine a few years back. It is the perfect place for it I think.

Car is looking good Dan.

The oil is the "Bling"... can't have a K&N filter without the oil!!!

LOL... gearbox... yeah... I have to call about that now actually...

Jeff, Yeah, they are out of the way there. Lynden from RoadRunner Fabrications is doing a bunch of stuff for my car, and that was one of the things. Fits perfectly, and can be made to hold 3.250L of oil, not that I ever want to fill it!!! which is more than is needed in my category.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hey Dan, sorry to sound dumb;

where those power runs made with a 3ltr bottom end(and 2835)?

Did u have the 2835 strapped when u had the stock pipework?

Seems like this cars come along way and VERY fast!!!

Definately be back for updates

[Majanal]

Year mate,

The 3 litre bottom end with 2835 on the side.

It is capable of more power, but is starving the 3 litre of air.

Hey Dan,

I was the pit exit offical at Symmons Plains on the weekend.

I didn't make it over for a closer look at your car but was very impressed with the tyre smoking torque it had!!

I just found this thread, the silver bare interior pics look sweet!

Good luck with the rest of the series.

howdya go? howdya go? howdya go?

[Majanal]

Thanks Matt,

Yeah I think I might have been the only driver using 3rd and 4th gears on the tight track... that is the MIGHTY torque of the RB engines... lol.

Had a great weekend, just a shame I ended up loosing to James Vahoomis (SP?) after all those re runs... never mind... they'll be in my house on the 24th of September!

Cheers,

Dan.

Duncan,

Hit the wall...

Dan.

[Duncan]

hmm bummer, did it buff out?

[Majanal]

No, won't buff out, but isn't that bad, certainly not as bad as last time!

In fact I competed in 3 more passes and the expression sessions all afternoon. even the tial lights still work!

[Jimbo2000]

this is the first time i've even seen this thread since its creation (silly me)

great to read about your amazing progress dan

keep up the good work my man

[Majanal]

Thanks Jimbo! :)

I must say that I have been a little slack with it all the last little while, but that is not to say that we haven't been busy with the car and Drifting!!!

Lots of progress recently at Tassie, and apart from trying to get the bloody car back into NSW we had a great time away.

I did hit the wall during a battle though, not a huge hit, but enough to damage the car. Not enough to retire me though... you'll have to watch SpeedWeek on the 17th if you want to know how the battles finished up!

As for the car we will make a new manifold for it next week, steam pipe and then bolt the new turbo on... look out for the new dyno sheets soon.

We also had some oil pressure issues in Tassie, I'm fairly sure that it was just the sender for the guage that is buggered, but we are checking everything anyway.

Oh, and great news, I have my website up now... not heaps on it yet, and still plenty of work to do to get it up and going, but it is a start, and I'll keep going with it as I get time. so check out www.mackieracing.com for all the latest!

I'll catch you all soon kids,

Dan.

[someonestolecc]

mm goodness.

Just checked your webpage - Joomla aaay. Lemme know if you need some basic help. Haven't played with joomla to a great extent but if you're a noob then I might be able to help. If you're a developer level geek then I probably can't help

Keep em updates comin!

[Majanal]

I'm a very big noob, websites have never really been kind to me...

Any help appreciated!

I watched it and saw your little 'off'. ah, not to worry. Fink done pretty well for himself with the ex-d1 200sx. Are you ready and pumped for this weekend?

[Majanal]

Not ready yet... but pumped... HELL YEAH!

Oh, and Fink's 200sx was an aussie built car, they didn't have the new car then, they do now, but apparently it won't be debuting this weekend...

[Majanal]
