Archetype Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'll get onto it today, and will have it live by tomorrow at the latest. Lack of photos and the time passed since the last event has left me a little unmotivated, but I'll whip something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 So it looks like I will be the only one Auckland going. Come on Billy hurry up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdvl Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Shane - i'm still keen to come down, if it's only to get photos and talk shit and watch you try and over take Max in the OS Championship, and to watch Brent take the overall leadership and the first ever Fiat Car Club - Oldschool Devision - Tarmac Championship Title!

shaneo Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Dont worry it's Max that is on catch up I have beat in 3 out of 4 events so far . Brent looks the overall winner at this stage unless he doesnt run. Still not sure what was up with my car at the last event . I'm sure i wasnt getting enough fuel due to a small fuel filter and a heavy foot. I'm looking forward to it . Trying to talk a mate into coming up to drive my car as well.

drtdvl Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Nice! Yeah - stupid trapdoor and not being about to beat Brent on another road course... Wonder if I could get Rob to bring his 205 down and dual share with me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtdvl Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Nice write up man! It's always fun hearing things from another's perspective. You sort the gear selection issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtdvl Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Shane I'll bring my go pro down and we can stick it in your car if you want. I dot think anyone is going to let me steal their car for the day - haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Go pro sounds like a great idea but in my car will be like slow motion lol. So if you dont compete does that mean I will get a lazy second place just for running nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Nice write up man! It's always fun hearing things from another's perspective. You sort the gear selection issues? Â I'll see how I go with the next event or two before I look at pulling the gearbox out. I think it's got more to do with my aggressiveness rather than any major mechanical issues. It would be cheaper and easier to do the gearbox at the same time as the engine, which won't be until next year some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I like the 4 out of 5 rule for overall points, as it's not easy for everyone to make it to all the rounds (whether the reason is for time, money or mechanical failure). Â It's not going to help me much though since both of my first rounds were a bit shit. Â I might use the Civic next year instead if I've still got it. It should be a nice all-rounder with the combination of tight/slow courses and the faster ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more fun watching you pirouette a screaming rotor on the skid pad…  Looked and carressed my car in the spare warehouse at work today. That's about as far as I have got working on it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
