I can't see why you wouldn't be able to watch... That said I'm not sure.

Then again, I'm slack, maybe I'll just wait for them to tell me the n00b that I need to get it tagged :D Rob: Out of interest, any estimate as to what Chubb charge for the tagging? And, how long does it take?

datgirl: What is this "navigators bag" you speak of? What's in the grandpa wagon? glovebox: I really have no idea backseat: 2 bottles of water and a bottle of coolant system sealant (yes, my engine is still leaking water everywhere), and a torchlight back (boot?): some rags, 2 x camping mat, 1 x Landcruiser caliper (spare for Hal, probably needs rebuild), spare wheel, jack + handle, fire extinguisher I'd like to get a box for the boot too to put misc stuff in, but never seem to get round to it.

Wow, the number of times this has been covered... Without very much work? 7K-E, but that has EFI, but I suppose you could take the EFI off (although you probably wouldn't pass emissions then). Nothing else is "plug and play", everything else will require some form of fabrication etc.

I'll umm... make a few phone calls tomorrow if I remember. Just don't really have time to get it done between now and next Sunday :D

Rob: CAMS manual only mentions 3-yearly and 6-yearly inspections and servicing, nothing about tagging? Also it says road-going cars are exempt, although I do remember the last sup regs saying that all cars must have fire extinguishers. Does anyone have the sup regs for this? I can't find it on their website... *edit* Just looking at the previous sup regs now - nothing in addition to the CAMS manual, nothing about tagging?

Teddy: Oh wow, Live for Speed rocks huh? I haven't played that in sooooo long...

Umm. I think: boot: - spare wheel - a few ocky straps - jack + handle - battery - fuel pumps + surge tank glovebox: - racetape - electrical tape - zip ties - map light - some other random stuff, not quite sure really behind front seats: - rags - toolbox

I thought about that, but my engineer wasn't too happy with the idea (and neither were the other 2 engineers I spoke to)

Hmm, my fire extinguishers are new, but not tagged, I wonder if this will be a problem. Should look up sup regs or something... Doug: Yes on all I think. Secondary bonnet restraining device, use a belt or rope or something. Blue triangle I think they sell on the day for very little money, just a temporary one. Headlights I think they sell contact on the day too.

Teddy: the link is on the previous page...

And this one, which is in Paul's rally ute...

Looking at this one, and the one I posted earlier, they both have the axis and fulcrum points on top of each other, and neither would have very much movement on the MC end at all. I guess that gives it a fair bit more "throw", and a fair bit more mechanical advantage...

Rob: Since I'm basing mine on the same handbrake lever as yours - do you have any ideas as to how it could be done better? Maybe push the axis point further away from the fulcrum? Or...?

Heh, I think Terry's Datto1200 has a boosted hydro handbrake, or at least it looks like it does!

Ah yes, now I think I get you.

Well... I'm sort of wondering how to set up the handbrake lever to allow 2 inches of travel on the MC, it would have to be one hell of a pivot point! Either that or I'd have to pull the handbrake lever almost vertical! I'm sure it will come on before the 2 inches of travel is up, just wondering roughly how far to expect... I'm fairly certain both Redwarf and Peters Corolla both use the standard handbrake lever, modified with required bits to connect it to the MC, just looking for inspiration at the moment. And umm, no datgirl, I don't really understand what you mean...

I got the MC today and am looking at how to mount it etc... Does anyone have any ideas? The MC has about 2" of travel all up, how much is usually required to actually activate the rear brakes? Getting 2" of travel from the handbrake lever could be interesting... Rob and/or Peter, could I have a look at your setup? Maybe a photo or something? :dance:

Erm, haha. I really should know, but I don't. I'm slack. Motorkhana panel doesn't have a website (I am meant to have a calendar thing too, but I have no idea where it is), and no the HSCCQ site doesn't have it either - oops, haha :dance: Gosh I'm so over my head in work...

If you really want to do it on a budget, are you sure it's the size of your discs that is to fault? Have you tried getting better pads? Could make a big difference. Else yes, have heard of the RA65 option. Also XT130 option, and many others.

how long is a piece of string? So many options, so many different approaches.

I think I might be able to do it... Will have to see how things go...

I thought Hayley sang Sarah M perfectly, she has an awesome voice, but at the same time she almost seems boring, and I have a feeling she wouldn't be able to handle different genres of songs? I could well be wrong. I really like Chanel, she doesn't seem to me like she's "trying too hard", although she is rather quirky. I do really like the way she sings and the way she presents herself on stage though. Another favourite of mine would have to be Courtney, that boy can sing, he's got such a marvelous voice! Really reminds me of like... Sting... Ngaiire is pretty good too, and she's definately different to the rest of them, and I won't be surprised if she gets picked for a wildcard. But at the end of the day, I still like Chanel :dance:

I am? Oh. Umm, okay :dance:

And remember, if you like the photos, Haikal will gladly sell you photos :dance: It will help him buy more fun bolt on's for his camera so he can take more photos!
