Heeheheee. Yeah. It was the old story 'my apprentice did that, ill do it this time etc etc'.

Having said that, i have also activated plan B

Righto, plan B is a success!

With much help from NastyPaul in Melbourne, i can reveal Plan B. I no longer have a problem with sourcing parts

[full_noise]

[choppo]

[nastypaul]

"plan B' on the way arrival 25th apparently

pm me a fax number and I will fax back the con note type thing he gave me

[rowdytoot]

mmm remote can billies who did them for you??

[choppo]

mmm remote can billies who did them for you??

The guys from Heasmans here in Sydney. There are a few other experimental 'one-off' (and 100% IPRA checked legal) things we are trying in the front and rear too, which you cannot pick from the pics

"plan B' on the way arrival 25th apparently

Nope. They are stating (from their Terms and Conditions) they have 2-5days to ship the thing. Can't even tell me when or where it will arrive. Best i can get is "call us after 5 days if you have not heard from us'.... nice customer service

interpretations of the rules vary wildly from EO to EO, so be wary...IE Gary Cook says ABS is legal if originally fitted, and illegal to remove, Gary Mckay says ABS is illegal full stop. Gary Mckay also says only swaybar outboard of bushes is partially unsprung, Gary Cook says all of the sway bar is partially unsprung...

[nastypaul]

the people you are dealing with sound like dead set fuck heads. The dudes that are actually carrying it... they seem pretty switched on. It will no doubt be there a day or two before you are told. If it has not left yet I would be VERY surprised.

[Dave75]

Gary Cook also insists [wrongly]that Honda Integras & Civics are not Hatchbacks.He reckons they are Coupes.

Coupes are a 3 box design [front & rear bulkhead]

Hatchbacks are a 2 box design [front bulkhead only],same as a Station wagon.

[choppo]

Gary Cook is my Dad so leave him alone!

Soapbox >>> for all you technical IPRA cunts talking about blah blah - did anyone notice the 'air springs' i installed (21-7-12)

yes, but you actually fitted the no oil where the air springs were meant to be, and vica versa

[choppo]

And sway bar links? And toe adjusters?

[Streety]

I thought it was a "No oil" branded sway bar..

[choppo]

Finished off the arse end properly (except springs).
Attachment 58688

Off for new cage!
Attachment 58687

[nastypaul]

[bigmuz]

Links are fine here.

Looks mean sitting there like that!

[BeverlyHillsCop]

nah links not working, just says invalid attachment specified.

Gary and I have raised ABS before at Delegates meetings, Know one could agree on the ruling so the usual IPRAA Formula for resolving issues was used, Add to the To hard basket and hope it goes away.

Try again!

[irsa76]

Fark those rear spring rates must be high!
Looks mean as it is.
And I hate trying to figure out wtf the rules are trying to say, and that's just as a scrute!

[choppo]

Fark those rear spring rates must be high!

Swaps for balsa blocks when lower rate is required

Could be worse, this was at Goodwood presented as a competition car:

I would love to hear the guys' rationale and WTF he was thinking. Don't suppose you had a chance to talk with him??
I wonder if he calculated the angles specifically for the purpose.

[takai]

I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy, but it didn't make runs up the hill. The guy in the bay next to him basically said that they were waiting on the shocks to arrive and they never did, transported it to Goodwood so they could fit them there, but nada.

So my post is a little facetious, but so is yours :P
