went to Motum simulation today in a nutshell, totally awesome would highly recommend a session to anyone who is interested in car racing or car sims Lee Partridge was booked in for a session after me, so this really is as close as it gets to the real thing was pumped from the start cos got up to speed very quickly on their "test track" 2 hour session went pretty quick, so was kinda glad that nobody from here took up my offer of a free drive will most definitely come here again when back in Melbourne video here https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aibjz7ngS0vsoh0mdc5vq7A6F3hs

OMG we thought we'd be trained out but Cradle Mountain was pretty much perfect walking weather

my cat would eat your dog

Loves a good tennis ball... And nap... He's a jerk...but he's pretty cute...

Cage around the treadmill and turn it up to 11?

Well Racewars was a world of fun!!! I had 2 400m passes making 215 and 216 kmh then I had 3 800m rolling passes. First was 260, 261 then 265. Unfortunately I only got 1 run on the 1000m due to the incident but I managed a 270. Horrible launch and bad gear changes so hopefully next year I can crack at least 275. But all in all I am stoked!!! Was an awesome weekend and can't wait for next year! Massive thanks to @IH8TOADS Unreal tuning and help! Missus got some awesome photos and a video of toads and my self racing on the 800m roll on.

They sat in storage for about 24 hours...heaps of room! Now, I left work early at 4pm Friday arvo so I could make the 4.5 hour (!) drive down that night. Not wanting to be punched in the head by a wheel and tyre combo if I had an off on the way down, I discovered that you can fit 3.8 race tyres in the boot of a Falcon. One in spare well and one slightly poking through the 60% fold seat, with double seatbelts buckled across it just in case. Finally fuelled up and all stickers on I left the suburbs at 6:30pm for the long drive down... <scene missing> The next morning it was a wheel change in the driveway of the accommodation, empty the car and head on down to the airstrip to meet up with the other two tragic fools from the forum And soon after that I was lined up and ready to race with 370,373km on the odo The usual dusty approach road and bogans in taxis I'll just chuck up a bunch of pics without much comment, they speak for themselves really from here and it's getting late: Needs moar mods Paused racing to land two RFDS planes, but were able to drive around them on return road while they loaded up

you already have like 6 race cars you havent got one of these.

asif you havent got one already? whipped

I like Lady Gaga as a singer, and I like her a whole lot more after watching her act emotional roller-coaster ride 10/10 need to watch it again

LOL they sell for 75K what impressed me is that these are built in-house here in Melbourne

Finding a chrome extension that puts gmail replies at the top, instead of at the bottom. Actually makes life so much easier not having to scroll to see what the latest reply was...why is gmail so retarded by default?

fancy...

BOVs just makes noise. That is all. Get it if you want dose noise. Remove the BOV all together if you want flutter. Dose 4TW though. #Turbosmart K bye

Fitted a chrome garnish as I snapped off the stock one. B series quality

I got my goon and BLT ingredients ready. Nothing like a fat BLT to top off a Friday night.

Get it, take to CMS. Problem solved lol.

Metal coat hangar ...... cut it, bend it Use a bungee strap to hold up the chain and attach to bonnet lock clip ( use a strut locking tool or a pole to keep bonnet up ) loosen the camshaft caps together ( inlet/exhaust ) and as they loosen up the cams will rise upwards at the back, pull camshafts free ( forward ) with sprockets still attached to cams , bungie strap takes up the chain slack forcing it in the correct position on the lower sprocket... pull the cams through the chain until out of the engine bay. Chain will then be pulled directly upward do the valvesprings now on re installation of the cams,chain you need to force the tensioner back to all the way retracted , use the handle of a hammer to push the piston into the retracted position, the holding latch will move up to a point where you can place the coat hanger end through the latch hole and then holding it in the fully retracted position. Now take one sprocket off of a cam shaft , fit the other back into the head and reverse tighten the cam caps to spec fit the other cam shaft minus the sprocket into place, tighten cam caps fit chain around sprocket, “Roll” the sprocket into position on the camshaft face and locate and fasten cam bolt ( Etorx ) and torque to spec, pull coat hanger out of locked position latch and rotate harmonic balancer via breaker bar and 23mm socket to move the engine through a bunch of cycles checking the valve springs are all seated nicely, valves aren’t touching pistons, and giving the tensioner a chance to extend outwards to take up chain slack. Key is get TDC before removing anything check TDC before manually rotating engine after valvesprings installation reinstall everything and start car ! My thread is chocka block of visual tips !

Forgot to put these in Big thanks to Anneliese Arelette Photography for this next one https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=365433713493288&amp;ref=br_rs

That last crazy lap I got within 0.2 seconds of my lap 2 PB despite the slow start and skids. I think I can shave a second and a half off if I string it all together with grip the whole time, maybe 2 if it's a really clean lines lap. I'm hoping for some cool footage and action pics from the media. You can see a drone hanging around a chicane in one section, Brad Frost my mate from here and prior Racewars events was part of the media team, had a GoPro and reckoned he got some good footage of me absolutely hooking too, so fingers crossed! Bonus bits Rain setting in after my last lap - not everyone got to do 4 runs! The venerable BARRA. It's stock, officer. Start line antics Racewars Sprint video from FB Simon's incredible machine and skillset on show (he came second by less than a tenth and only get 3 runs not 4 due to rain) Metal fingers while navigating a chicane one handed at 82km/h - pro skillz

Roof materials are starting to show up, I raised the service order for the solar with my retailer and have the solar install booked in next week. Finally things are starting to happen.
