may have to break out a Dremel, dood… depending on how much movement you have… should’nt effect handling to much, but it’s possible… was curious if you kept the pvc offcuts for yourself too, you’ll see what I mean when you do come down to race on the day…
damn, i’ve tied my $$ up till next Wednesday… which just happens to be the day you order… anywho, can I the following (for myself); 2 sets wide medium, one set wide soft, and another set of soft narrows. I’ll get onto the other guys about this at this Sunday’s meet (as I typed that the sun came out temporarily; come on sun, you can do it!!), no doubt a mass order will be the go. How soon do you need payment my good man:question:
yes please… though if it’s similar to Forex (anyone else here in the signage industry? If not, it’s a really light, compressed and tough foam-like product…) I might just use some of that. Actually, I will. Might tack on another sheet to the order… and I could make the curved inserts Z-beam mentions out of the same stuff. Thanks guys!! Icebreaka; another important thing to remember; the layouts on grid paper look sweet, but when you lay it all together the size is abit out. This is due to the T and L joints size. You kept your shorter offcuts, did’nt you?:smiley2: If not you may well want to kick yourself…

now where have I seen those pics before??:smiley2: and i’ll pass on the pink dood…:) metallic purple it is…:approve:
Icebreaka; good job… nice size for indoors too. Do your parents have a spit about you moving the furniture?:smiley2: But seriously, where did you get those round bits on the ends? (the white things, one near the car.)
Roe; that’s what i’m thinking of at the mo, but it’s a minor logistical nightmare. As soon as I find practical way to fabricate it, it’ll be done.
Mocky; sorry to give you so much stick about it, mate. Just thought i’d give the occasional reminder…:D
Mini-g; hey hey big Dave!! Long time no hear!! See you this weekend…
Weather; if it’s going to be raining this weekend then i’m heading to the Jasco underground carpark in Meadowbank (with a broom…), will let those of you know where if it needs to happen…finally, another use for DivX!! That is one sweet ride, that vinyl gave me a couple of ideas too… How did it sound Aaron? Shame you could’nt grab audio…
yo, Roe! What do ya know? We gotta hook our two together mate, really get a technical setup going! Mock; 27.340 lol:smiley2:
ball diff gives you smoother movement and the ability to adjust tension on the diff plates (to a degree) to give a little more/less traction. The stock diff does seem to pick up crap over time which in turn wears the inside of it.
he’s baa-aaack!!! Sweet… um, have I got stuff in the mail? hmmm…
um, in a word, yes. I did the bearings, then diff, then went with the other crap. Did not bother with the roll shock however. Looks like your $354 aud might be going up again…:p
Z-beam; you’re a good mind reader. That’s what I was thinking… icebreaka; me’n TD have stock MR-02 s as well, we could still have an 02 race (our cars do have diffs and bearings though…:smiley2:)
mate I work in millimetres here at work, so its as easy as 1000mm or 300mm. Being i’m in my 30s, is it so odd that I still go in feet? Either way, this’ll be easier to understand; 1.2 metre wide lanes. I was thinking like you are, ie. having 2 metre straight pieces, but you gotta have a heap of room to store, and it needs to be easily moved to wherever you race. If driving you could have issues transporting 2m legths unless you have access to a ute or something. And feet are easy to work out; 1 metre = 3.3 foot (approx., those of you who must be picky…)
I gave up on carpet in the end, due to the massive cost involved. Plus with the size of the track I had in mind… let’s just say it would’ve been as cheap to import an RCP track system. Hense all the pvc pipe. There are places that sell second hand carpet by the linear metre (1m x width of the roll), will get back to you with a couple of names if you like. But it’ll still cost a bit…
And how long you got till your HSC is done? We got a spot on the grid with your name on it, dood…:D:approve:Edited by – dgs73 on 20 October 2004 06:21:19
happy b’day Chucky… ignore the kids btw, they’re obviously bored:D
I did all the maths mate… just draw it up on grid-paper first, then give it a scale. Piece of p**s… very easy too. As for keeping it all together, the weight of the thing does most (but not all!) of that job, and all the parts slot together. Going to figure out a “quick release” system for the joints, as sometimes they come apart from a nasty shunt. Something that’ll keep em together till I want it to come undone, know what I mean? The only points that move more than I like is the five straight pieces that divide the lanes… they move too easy, and fixing them down is proving to be my only major hassle:angry:
mate, $1.50 each. The pricyiest parts were the T-joints… $6.50 each…:shock: more than 15 4 lengths of 25mm pvc pipe… All up it only cost me $140 so i’m happy:D

as detailed as the ones from Mir? lol:clown:
Quote:yeah you`ve got a point…shade in summer & warmth in winter!! but she`s all yours guys, i`m not into weight lifting..i’ll pass… and she’s in the states at the mo, so you’ll just have to fight over her when she returns to Sydney Airport… i’ll see if Roe can find out what day/time she gets back in…
:smiley2::p:DI think she and you would make a phat couple… and i’m positive Habib would’nt mind… but would Rocky?!? (you had to see last night’s Pizza World to get that one…):D
Quote:mmmmm i’m gonna be down next week for some fun fun fun. that means we got 10+ ppl racing. i’ll b down dere next week for sure.really need that split frequency back of mine dude… 27.340mhz.. cheers mate. See you on Sunday
Quote:I guess i should say we have a number of splits, not me pesonally and not all 12 frequencysIts Mayhem Mayhem Mayhem ! ! !
Get ready for Fun Fun Fun ! ! !
do we need that many mayhems? We do? Ok… wait, where are you throwing me?? *thud* lol
we do however have enough to run 10 Zs at once… this I personally would like to see…that’s a good idea… plus it’d slow down those curb crawling L platers!!! 👿
I was actually wrong, that’s not me behind, im on the front left of the table, fixing Roe’s car… could tell it was me by the ring on my finger…
that table of yours was a great idea, makes for some interesting photos too… so many Z’s!!!!:approve:TD; im planning on having two more of those banner style adverts hanging over the track (holds it all together pretty well, too), will no doubt come in to work again this Saturday to sort these out…
mate we’ve got too much s**t between us all… but it looks cool… that’d be my legs in the centre background then…
Quote:Quote:…Is there anywhere out where you race where you can HANG a really big ass panictoys banner? Something they can see from the blimp for example? lol…Cant wait to see it..albeit pics…BTW dave your photo didnt get through to my phone 🙁Lol ya scrooge…free advertising LOL….
Bithed; email has been resent to your other address…
