They all look really good. That big one from boost would look awesome if it wasn't blurred. Cause it reminds me of an angle they use to always do at bathurst. I'll put mine up tonight.

The blurred one off Boost looks like it could only come from the helicopter.

That is a really awesome shot .


Not being funny but that looks like a station wagon to me, just the way the camera catches it :) Not my favorite shot I am sad to say BUT a nice car regardless of how the that particular shot appears. :spoton:

Cheers

I think it was the hills that killed me, not to mention how many times I walked between the track and the pits, its wasnt exactly a short stroll.

Good Stuff Rory, car sounds and look great....except for the miss shifting thingy, but I'm sure you'll sort that out.

Gee the sound on that camera is low, is it one of those GoPro ones, I'm dissapointed as hell with mine...I barely even get any sound

Cheers

Yeah thats the one Rob...had it set on Low..Alan said to do that..might try High next run..the wide angle might have different settings in sound to the early narrow angle lens ones. They were really bad on High. You entered Speed yet?. Barry Nixon Smith said he has got 11 entries already..I was one..reckon Rocket and Falveys were in there too...need Team Torana back in situ again!

Found the problem...cut the 3rd to 2nd gate spring down on the Hurst shifter and decided to refit it...when I pulled the Renagate..on the 1st/2nd shifter linkage the collet had shattered and was gone...this allowed about 3/16" extra movement and wasnt going into 2nd properly.
Oh well..will leave the Hurst in now...its great with the spring cut down...shit easy to find 2nd now.

In the top photo posted by aggro it looks like you are running positive camber on the rear. must just be my eyes. Looks like a lot of fun. Do many FSAE cars rock up?

The Suzuki Mighty Boy has a Hewland 5 speed box out of a F5000 in it...which had me thinking later..if it was a Rover/Leyland V8...???...bolted together...?? Anyone read the AMC with John McCormack and the same setup in a McLaren M23 Ex F1 car converted to F5000???...Stranger things have happened.
