    Pedal Technique

    So, I've been pouring through the you-tube vid's of pedal work and found a few interesting ones. First one is maybe a Ford Sierra (probably wrong) in asia, and the driver is fighting this thing all the way.. If you watch the steering throughout, and then reflect on the pedal work and gear...

    C63 AMG around Wakefield

    Ok, below is the link to a video of a C63 AMG around Wakefield... Anyone know who this was??? On the 2nd lap they're at the 1m12s mark(from the start finish line) and still not gone round the final corner on to the straight... I'm guessing they weren't pushing it that hard? Car like that...

    M116 Heads on an M117

    Here you go folks, an example of M116 heads on an M117. According to the owner, the M116 manifolds wouldn't fit properly so there's been some custom work done there.... MB Spares have confirmed though, that you should still be able to use any of the V8 merc manifolds to bolt on / interchange...

    Hillclimb - 17th August 2008 Pics

    Went pretty well today. Only managed 3 runs as I had to make it to the Raiders match. The whole Evo crew were there and going really fast without looking like they were. The usual suspects were all there, and we were also joined by Rick Bates in a Daihatsu Copen (??think i said that...

    VIDEOS - Sandown 13th July 2008

    Here they are... :) 1st one has the 'incident' at about the 4:30 mark. This is where I nearly rolled the car. I hit the ripple strip sideways at somewhere between 120-150km/h, and the saving grace was the rear right wheel hitting the kitty litter flicking me back around...

    Upgrade your 6.9's braking capacity?!

    DBA make slotted / hardened rotors for W116's but they are about $250 (per end) so these come in at enough under that (postage included) to make it worth a crack. Still not sure whether i'll go with these rotors or the DBA ones.. but food for though...
