Truenotch Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Grant's FX is FAST with the Honda engine. It gaps my car by 200m or so on the straight.... Yeah Brad, I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyscar Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just had a look through the videos from round one last year... It looks like I had more grip on slicks when it was drizzling than I did this year in the dry!! I guess that's what you get for running season-old tyres . Sometimes when it's drizzly and drying it's incredibly grippy. Think it's a mix of low air temps but still plenty of heat in the track. Glad this thing has had a birthday. Has been needing it for the last couple of years. Needs new shocks next. Hope it goes fast this weekend. Guna get rally car together and bring it out for a a drive tomorrow. Oh also come drink beers at my place tonight.the old markku would of. Will txt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Bummer about the slow car taking you out - that rim certainly took a big hit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah, bent rim sucks. Apparently Simmons still do new bands, so I should be able to fix it easily. He got a fine and got his licence endorsed, so at least it proved that the discipline system works. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Bummer about the rim! Well done with all the progress though! Was it the capri or the car you got on the straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 It was the yellow and blue AE101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Dam that looks fun. sounds so good. The yellow ae101 looked like it already had a bent up bonnet when you passed him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Bloody hell he must have been working hard to squeeze it in between you and the capri! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfordy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Bad luck with the rim. Watched you racing on Saturday - Car looks really stable and you seemed to be able to brake later than most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyscar Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Dam that looks fun. sounds so good. The yellow ae101 looked like it already had a bent up bonnet when you passed him? No its just like that all the time.. that is the least straight car there is in the field (although a few others come close) and I'm not talking about the driving or the panels. Gutted about the rim. Send to Warren Dickson to chuck a new band on it? Jarred ended up fixing that enkei of mine which was fairly similar. Didn't cost much either thunk it was around $200. Sweet racing. Shocks make massive difference to how the car rides the bumps at puke. Also feel sorry for the sweet datsun that gary madcock took the nose off. Once again a terrible display of driving from the gentlemen racers in stupidly fast cars in the middle of that pack. I presume ray brown pushed himself off the track again in one form or another? What's the championship points looking like? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Simmons still have brand new bands, so I'll probably go that way. Chris didn't seem happy with the outcome of the hearing, but it was important that he got punished IMO. He apologised and I hope it chills him out in future. Just had a look at my LR shock and the bump stop has fallen apart, hah. No wonder it felt like a solid knock in the later races!! Need to break the bead off the tyre and then I can look at getting the rim repaired or re-banded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celica RA45 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 marku is that the race series simmons rims as they use 2 different thickness 3mm for full on racing and i think 3.5 for road ,whitehorse industries in lilydale ,victoria make all of simmons inners and outer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
