You need one of these. DR91_InterlockXT.pdf

And where in the land of Narnia do you find 10c gets you time to lock your car, let alone leave it?I don't have a problem with Parking Nazis. Just like the Police, if they catch me, I deserve the ticket for being a dick. Parking is cheap in NZ (even in Auckland). Get over it.

Go and get a quote from Ultra-Tuff mufflers in Totara Rd. He does a lot of work for Retro products and was reasonably priced when I asked about modding the 540. You get what you pay for! I'm with Andrew and Hybrid. A good system takes time to design and manufacture.

I would agree with the basic assumption. Oversquare = revs & kW, undersquare = torque. However, it's generally rpm that wrecks the motor, not torque. Soory, got to go and drink with Firemen. Back in a day or so. Ciao

Torque!

Or maybe: Are you old enough? - Dragon Leave me alone - Killing Heidi Give it up - ZZ Top Another one bites the dust - Queen Fool to cry - The Rolling Stones Hysteria - Def Leppard Dancing with myself - Billy Idol Spare me the details - The Offspring Fairytale of New York - The Pogues Tears on my pillow - Kylie

Tea and scones for me please.

Ultimately, what Emma said (and many others), the moderators should show a certain level of maturity. Similar to being a manager of staff. You can have fun and be a nice person. But you need to know when to step in and say it's my way or the highway. Goading people into arguments and lowering the tone of threads to the purile is just unacceptable. I don't think that not owning a BMW precludes you from being a mod. But the name describes the job. You need to be moderate, not an extremist. It isn't just Damian who is guilty of this, he just happens to be the one that I spot the most, just acting like a Bogan. It's Andrew's site and he should pick whomever he feels will do a good job. I'll live with it. I'm sure. There are far more important things for me to worry about.

Rapid Radio, just off K rd.

Well done Tim. It pulls like a school-boy.

I'm with Andrew an M3 kit on it would be Sweet. Very nice looking car.

Ahh, the Hicks M3. Look after it. Nice buy. Good deal too after all the work they put into it.

Sorry, Ollie. We still haven't found it in all our clearing out of rooms yet.

Congratulations on a good result at Teretonga Grant. Good luck for Dunedin.

Thank you everyone. An early start and a lovely drive back from Palmy for :beer: with the Customs guys at the Strand. I am wrecked, I must be getting old. Granddad, how rude! I'm not even a Dad yet. See me in 7 weeks. Ciao.

Happy Birthday Emma. I hope you find a great Southern Man.

Happy Birthday Ollie. Man you guys make me feel old. Have one for me.

You need a 540iS Andrew. I know of one that needs a good home.

I'd need to check the log book. I did have all those answers when I was chasing Lyall for spares. There was also a cameraman with a TV camera on the bank, but I believe the footage was grainy. Racing incident, no one at fault. Den didn't care, still took everyone out for a Chapman dinner. We missed it and went to a friends place. Andrew & Lisa got to take our place. We took them for a spin in the 156GTA and he got a lift back from the track in the 348GTB. Andrew would have got a lap or two in the passengers seat of the Diet Coke car after the meeting. None of the other cars had second seats in for the week-end.

Den driving, snapped the rear shocks (boy racer look in last photo). I've been travelling since and there was another classic meet at levels this week-end. So I doubt anyone has really looked at it. Prepping the remaining 5 cars for the Classic racing, then look into that Touring car for the Endurance series. I will be talking to Den or Richard in the next few days and get an update. An average persons salary to repair it, I'm sure. I had just been in it to try and mount my video camera, but the mounting was in the DCH touring car. Bummer.

Brand new HANS device too
