Overdrive Motorsport will be holding a Car Cruise from Homebush to Bateau Bay Recreational Sports Fields on the 11th December, 2005. This Cruise is to increase the awareness and recognition for a disease known as Fibromalygia. I am Adrian Marcelino Owner of Overdrive Motorsport and my Mother has the disease mentioned above, it is a disease which at this stage is incurable and only limited research is being carried out. But with the generosity of yourself and others we will raise funds needed for them to get a grant to do extensive research here in Australia and evidently try to find a cure for the disease. Fibromalygia itself is a horrible disease, they call it the Silent Disease because when you look at the sufferer they look normal but inside have incredible pain. It lends itself around the body causing quite a substantial amount of pain. For example somedays you may wake up with your left knee aching, the next your whole right side might be aching. I have been living with the knowledge that my mum's days are organized by the disease, if it is a “bad day” as we put it, she will be bed ridden for the day, and if it is a “good day” then she will be able to do some of the day's tasks. It is discomforting to know that your mum can't come out to watch you play soccer or come to the beach due to the disease which is totally out of your control. Now is my chance to make a difference! The disease itself has been known to be more painful than Cancer itself, which shows the severity of the disease. If you would like a more detailed description of the disease please feel free to view it at Overdrive Motorsports homepage, www.overdrive.net.au . (This information will be up in the coming days)

We have organized with Mr. Hopkin who is the Executive Director of the Arthritis New South Wales Centre and he is thrilled at our idea and more than helpful in everything. We are aiming at gathering $10,000 in total. This will be done through a number of methods such as Sponsorships, a Raffle on the day, sales of stickers and direct donations. We have also received an official fundraising number which is CFN 12845, making it all legal.

There are a number of ways which you can help, there are stickers and lanyards which will be sold on the day, a raffle will also be run throughout the day with numerous prizes up for grabs.

A Large number of trophies will be up for grabs as well in various categories as well as a Car Club trophy going to the best represented car club...

Basically we are aiming at having a great day and raise money for something that really hits home with myself... I appreciate all the support that we get more than you would believe...

The First Prize in the Raffle will be a $3000 Re-Spray kindly Donated from Queen St Smash Repairs.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
