With week 7 now gone, and a shock double-elimination taking two contestants out of the running, only three people remain in the Shannons Supercar Showdown!
This week’s reward challenge focuses on reaction time, and the ability to process visual information. V8 Supercar drivers need keen eyes in order to spot potential collisions, obstacles, and be able to react quick enough to avoid disaster.
The last three have to test their skills on a state of the art reaction tester. Not just once however, but twice. After they’ve completed the first task on the reaction tester, the competitor has to take part in a quick exercise circuit before heading back to the machine and giving it another go. Attempting to use the reaction tester whilst fatigued will show who can remain steady whilst under the pump.
Oil lubrication specialist Fuchs have provided a $500 dollar cash reward for the man with the speediest hands. Who has the stamina keep up their response times during the challenge and earn a quick buck in the process?
Also, this week’s task is something that’ll really step up the game. The contestants are no longer competing in the Renault RS250. They’re stepping things up to the Shannons V8 Supercar this week!
Each contestant will have three timed laps around Winton Raceway, then pit for a chat with the engineer to overlook the data logging and receive general feedback. From there, they are allowed another three timed laps to hopefully better their previous time.
The judges will be looking for communication between engineer and driver. This is a vital part of any motorsport team, as the engineers need to gain an understanding of how the car currently feels in order to alter the setup to suit different race tracks or weather conditions.
Will anyone put the fresh V8 Supercar off the track? Do you think that the young 17 year old can handle the 550 plus horsepower from the V8? Check out the episode below to find out!

With only a handful of contestants remaining, we're reaching the back straight of the Shannons Supercar Showdown!
After last weeks reward challenge involving the spoken word, this weeks challenge had to change things up a little. The contestants headed to famous Sandown Raceway where they were to partake in a more motorsport related task this week. But, it's not a typical circuit style layout...
It's a straight line! The remaining few will need to stage at the line and launch a Renault Megane RS250s over the eighth mile. Reaction times and the ability to launch a vehicle are key factors which will determine who comes out on top. Both of these aspects are important, and will come into play when the lucky winner gets to steer around the mountain. Each contestant will partake in a timed run, and the winning two will face-off in a proper good old drag race.
The reward? A time discount in the elimination challenge. This reward huge bonus to the winner, providing an advantage that could potentially keep someone in the running to win.
However the challenge is a big thing - a simulated race. The contestants will head out and around a slightly altered Sandown Raceway. A four lap, standing start race with lights will certainly determine who can keep their cool under pressure and maintain a smooth yet fast driving style. But that's not all, contestants will have to show discipline by pitting at a random interval during the race whilst adhering to pit rules - speed and gear limits.
To top it off, Mr Kelly himself will be sitting in the passenger seat with each contestant during their laps; taking notes and generally observing how they handle a car on a proper race track.
Will experience shine during this challenge? Or will the young guns prove they can steer just as well as people double their age? The only way to find out is to check the episode below!

The first three weeks of the Shannons Supercar Showdown have been intense. And the fourth week was no different!
Last week saw an elimination task involving the contestants battling it out on serious business, Arrow race go-karts. Sarah sadly didn’t achieve up to standards, and was well wished home by her fellow competitors.
This week, things have heated up a little more. With a racing icon on the judging panel for week fours elimination challenge, how will everyone perform under his watchful eye? Interested to know who it is? Well you just have to watch the episode! (Video can be found below)
Week fours challenge focuses on driver changing – the art of pitting successfully. Competitors will be piloting a Renault Megane RS250 around a short course, then told to pit correctly, change driver (with their team mate) and exit pit lane in a correct manner. Not stopping on the marker, changing gears in the pits and hitting cones out on the track all count as negative points during judging.
Furthermore, there is a little incentive challenge for the drivers too. A knockout style competition on a racing simulator will certainly show who’s familiar with the famous mountain. The prize? Free food, free booze and free bowling!
So, which of our contestants will be going home? Who will win the incentive challenge and enjoy a round of bowling to help boost confidence?
Watch episode four below!

Supercar Showdown is back!
After a very successful first year, which included overseas awards and recognition, 7mate are proud to announce that the Shannons Supercar Showdown is back for another action-packed season of motorsport!
Last year’s winner, 17 year old Cameron Waters, became the youngest driver to ever attend the ‘Great Race’ AKA the Bathurst 1000. Waters piloted the Shannons Mars racing car with vigor, but sadly retired from the race. A great moment during the race was when Waters over steered heavily on exit, looping his V8 Supercar but managing to recover it with incredibly fast counter steering. Here’s a clip of the hairy moment.
The prize on offer this year is a huge one – the chance to drive a Kelly Racing V8 supercar at the historic 50th anniversary of the Bathurst 1000. The diverse choice of competitors for the second season will make this show even better than last year. They start from as young as 16, have travelled from all over the globe (from as far as Texas!) and cover both genders. The competition levels this year are going to be high.
There is a lot at stake, whether it is pride or the simple fact of winning the chance to be a part of an event that will go down in Australian Motorsport History! Dwindling down the competitors this year will be done via set tasks that each person will attempt. Simple challenges, such as re-sitting your driving test, have been thrown into the mix to make things a little bit interesting. Of course, there will be plenty of skidpan action and fast paced stuff to keep us budding motoring enthusiasts entertained.
But it’s not all about the drivers. YOU can get involved this year and doing so will put you into the running to win a Renault Megane RS250 Cup Challenge valued at $42,000 courtesy of Shannons and Renault. Click HERE to visit the homepage where you can enter the competition, read the competitors bios and catch up on previous episodes of the show you may have missed.
So who’s going to win and get to pilot the Kelly Racing V8 car this year? There’s only one way to find out. Catch the show on 7MATE at 1PM Saturday.

The action wasn’t happening all inside the dome this year. The guys from All Stars turned it up a notch by gracing the walkway into MotorEx with a plethora of cars – stuff ranging from JDM through to stanced-out VIP rides.
Honda Civics with the right wheels and ride height certainly still look awesome. Both of these examples were wearing quality wheels and were both very US-inspired.
A sacked Aurion, parked behind an Integra and then on to numerous hot rods and a Trans Am? This is what you can expect at MotorEx. It’s rare to see all so many different car cultures unite and park side by side to be appreciated. The All Stars boys really rounded up a great selection of rides.
Countless people were walking around checking out all of the metal on display.
Matte finishes are starting to become ever so popular, with the rise in vinyl wrapping technologies. This IS Lexus was ‘murdered out’ sporting black accents everywhere.
Kelvin’s Ruckus was a unique car on display. Not many people in Australia have yet to modify their Ruckus’ in the fashion Kelv has!
Getting low seems to be the go!

One minute with Jody Vincitorio and ‘CHOPPT’
Jody and his car are the definition of passion. Well put it this way, he had to postpone his wedding for eight months until the car was finished. Don’t we all wish our wives-to-be could be so understanding!
Over $100,000 later and nearly three years in the making, ‘CHOPPT’ tickled the judges’ fancy at Summernats earlier this year. The candy apple green HQ Monaro is simply a work of art, and pictures do not do it any justice. Come check it out this weekend at MotorEx!
Here’s a short clip with the man himself.

MotorEx 12 – 2 minutes with Greg Maskell
Greg Maskell is known around the hot rodding and custom car scene for building some super tough rides. First starting out as Revhead restorations, later changing the shop name to Maskell’s Customs and Classics, Maskell started modifying cars at the ripe young age of 17.
Kicking his career off with an LC Torana, he has progressed from toying with his own rides to on to running a complete workshop which has, on a good day, at least 11 rides getting plenty of custom work. From concourse show cars to elite street vehicles, there isn’t nothing this guy and his team of four cannot tackle. One particular car that seems to catch the lime light wherever it goes, is the ‘PSYCHO’ XF Falcon.
Interested to see what he has to say about a car which has had over 10,000 man hours put into it? Check out the clip below.

MotorEx Superstars – Profiled!
The Meguiar’s Superstars class is the pinnacle of automotive achievement. It’s where the greats of the modified car scene are pitted against each other and whoever comes out on top, and win a share in the prize pool of $55,000 cash.
So one can imagine the judging and cars selected for these categories are customised like no-other. The top class is divided into two sub classes – Hot Rod and Street machine. Let’s have a peak into what can be expected in both categories of these super-elite builds.
Top Hot Rod qualifiers.
Phil Robinson‘s’39 Ford Tudor was awarded entry into the Top Hot Rod class at Summernats this year. Wearing classic billet rolling stock and finished in a quality emerald green paint scheme, Phil’s Tudor is right up there with the best.
Venturing all the way from Western Australia is the one and only “SASSYLADY’ ’32 Tudor owned by Pamela Quinn. Built by TC Hot rods in the back of a tiny shed, this masterpiece takes the old school American rodding style and mixes it up with some Australian flare.
Andrew Gibson’s ’32 Ford Pickup is something a little different for the class. Rodded tray backs and getting scarce in the scene, so it’s wicked to see one that made the cut into this class. From head to toe the car is detailed, including a full polished and painted undercarriage that’s clean enough to eat your brekkie from.
Street Machine qualifiers
Mark Tarabay’s ‘Sublime’ S15 stands out for one reason in particular. No, it’s not the insane candy green paint. Nor is it the suicide door conversion. It’s the 13B engine conversion that gets conversations going with this car. Possibly one of the more controversial modified imports in this category, people either love it or hate it – which is why it made the cut.
‘choppt’ is unlike another other HQ Monaro to date. With its lowered roofline and massive tubs, Jody Vincitorio’s ride looks super west-coast and tough as nails. The staggered trumpet setup takes the cake however, and is possibly the most crazy intake setup we’ve seen in a long time!
You cannot have a Street Machine category without a good old Prem’. Sam Caruana and his ’75 HJ Premier sport the quintessential Australian style of building a tough streeter – Billets, A injected and blown eight and some trick bodywork. This one’s definitely a crowd pleaser, that’s for sure.
With the other entries stacking up to be just as quality, the competition is stiff and everyone will be gunning for that number one spot. Wonder who will earn themselves a share in the $55K and title of Best of Breed Hot Rod and Street Machine Champion for 2012? Head down to MotorEx and be there to witness it firsthand.

We’re getting closer and closer to Meguiar’s MotorEx – The car show that should have been marked on your calendars since the start of the year!
This year’s event is going to be huge. The quality of metal being put on display is second to none, and it’s already shaping up to be something special.
We’re able to bring you a sneak-peak of what you can expect to see inside the dome. Across all classes there have been a number of spectacular entries, so the judging panel is going to have a hard time selecting winners from such a collection of fine automobiles.
Kicking things off is Kevin San’s Hakosuka Skyline. This stout piece of JDM muscle has a huge fan base across internet forums and it’s not hard to see why. Packing a stroked L series power plant with triple carbs hanging off the side, we’re sure a lot of people will come just to have a peep at this thing.
All stars founder Sergio Capozzi and his Vertex Ridge widebody S15 will also be attending the show in the Street Elite category. Proudly wearing its Midnight Purple duco and a fat set of 20-inch Work Meisters, this car means business and leaves a huge impression wherever it goes.
Making his way up from Canberra is Nathan Ross in his Toyota Supra. Rocking a genuine TRD widebody kit and pumping out 600 horsepower at the rear bags, this streeter is a super neat all round package. It’s purposeful build and balanced approach is something you don’t see too often with Supra’s and there’s nothing it can’t do – Cruise, drag or circuit.
Yonas Liu from JDMyard will have his race-prepped DC5R racecar at the event. Sporting a plethora of Mugen bits and pieces, this car is certainly one for the diehard Honda fans. If that isn’t enough for you, just peer inside and get a look at the insane roll cage work and stripped interior – certainly a hardcore track weapon.
Matt Robinson’s time attack S14 is more racecar then anything out there. Rocking tough aero put together via a combination of Vertex Ridge parts and custom SX developments diffusers and spoilers, the main aim for this machine is to punch out ridiculous lap times wherever it may roam. Under the hood lies a full NIZPRO-built forged engine with ancillaries such as the turbocharger upgraded to a HKS item.
And last but not least, proudly waving the European flag is Aaron Vumbaca in his BMW M3. With a list of modifications too long to even start on, this Bavarian beast is just simply one of the toughest M3s getting around on Sydney’s streets. With DTM touches such as the vented guards, it pays homage to the cars roots in motorsport and wouldn’t look out of place at all on the Nürburgring.
This is just an appetizer on what will be on display at MotorEx this year. There will be plenty more drool-worthy cars dotted around inside, and the only way to really experience it is to come on down and check it out for yourself!
Keep an eye on this thread as we’ll be updating it with more fresh content on what you can expect to see at MotorEx this year.

Bendix can help you diagnose and solve your brake problems.
To help you fix brake problems you may be experiencing, we have prepared some helpful tech tips to ensure you achieve optimum braking performance and safety.
As there are a number of issues that arise with your cars breaking system, it’s always good to keep a look out for the possible symptoms below.
Low / Spongy brake pedal
What do you mean by low/spongy brake pedal?
When I brake, my brake pedal goes almost to the floor. When I brake, the brake feels like I have no reserve left. My brake pedal has a spongy feel to it – the firmness in my brake pedal is gone. These are all symptoms of a spongy or low brake pedal.
How does low/spongy brake pedal happen?
Insufficient brake fluid in the master cylinder may cause spongy or low brake pedal. The brake lines may have contaminants like air in them, not having been bled properly at your last service or possibly the brakes may not be adjusted properly.
Is there any way of preventing this from reoccurring
Always ensure that a qualified and experienced brake fitter services your brakes. Spongy or low brake pedal is generally not an indication of brake wear but more likely a fault in fitting. If you service your own brakes make sure that you fill the master cylinder to the appropriate level and that you bleed the brake lines before use.
Probable Cause & Corrective Action:
If your pedal touches the floor before your brakes start to react, you know there’s a serious issue! If this sounds like something you’re experiencing, use the following check list to identify your problem.
- Check the master cylinder for fluid. If it’s empty, check the system for a leak and repair.
- Excessive free play in the brake pedal linkage. Adjust for proper linkage
- Pad ‘knock back’. Examine rotor run out and parallelism, bearing adjustment, etc.
- Excessive clearance between linings and drums. Adjust brakes.
- Contaminated fluid. Replace fluid
- Residual line pressure valve faulty. Check and replace.
- Air in hydraulic system. Bleed the whole system and replace with fresh fluid.

Bendix offers a range of brake fluids that will help rectify your spongy braking woes. Visit http://www.bendix.com.au/content/high_performance_brake_fluid for further information!

The TIth brothers have done a sublime job on putting together a short clip on the MotorEx street meet which was held in Orange Grove, Sydney.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BcpgYjXPF8
Despite the cold weather, many avid enthusiasts braved the winter chills and brought their pieces of metal out to put on display. There was not a sector of the scene left untouched. From old school Aussie muscle through to candy painted Rotaries; there was something for everyone on the day.
On top of the wicked display, the Meguair’s MotorEx managed to raise over $2800 for charity, which is one hell of an achievement.
We’re looking forward to more events of this calibre!

World famous custom car builder John D’Agostino will make a special trip to Sydney’s Olympic Park Dome to cast judgement on Australia’s finest customised cars, in the first staging of the ‘Kavalcade of Kustoms’ display at Meguiar’s MotorEx 12 on July 21-22.
Californian-based D’Agostino, who owns Kustom Kars of California and has won more major awards than anyone in the history of car customising, will cast his critical eye across 40 of the best ‘kustoms’ ever assembled in Australia.
The inaugural Kavalcade of Kustoms will also including ‘Mercury Lane’ – 10 highly customised Ford Mercury classics lined up together, with some still in their bare sheet metal and others partly-built to give MotorEx visitors a rare insight into the workmanship required to build these incredible cars.
The Kavalcade of Kustoms is sure to impress guest judge D’Agostino, who will not only meet and greet show goers but also join the judging panel and present a special handmade trophy to the owner of the car he chooses as his personal favourite.
The huge display is presented with the support of local award-winning custom car builder Mario Colalillo, whose Aussie-built ‘Wild Cad’ ’59 Cadillac won the prestigious ‘King Of Customs’ at the 2011 Sacramento Autorama in the US.
John D’Agostino’s presence at MotorEx 12 is a huge honour for event organisers and a big attraction for modified car enthusiasts, as he is widely regarded as a king of car customising on a global scale.
Born in California, D’Agostino started building and customising scale models as a child, so his destiny was sealed from an early age.
Since then his incredible hand-crafted cars have been displayed at more than 1000 shows worldwide and featured in almost every automotive publication throughout the world.
His unique kustoms have also won ‘World’s Most Beautiful Custom’ car honours and countless ‘Best of Show’ and ‘Most Popular Car’ awards.
D’Agostino has also been inducted into the Academy Awards of Automobile Excellence, the San Francisco Rod and Custom, Kustom Kemps of America and the Sacremento Legends of the Autorama.
In total, he has seven Hall of Fame honours, including the Oakland Grand National Roadster Hall of Fame and Darryl Starbird Hall of Fame.
World famous toy car maker Mattel has even immortalised some of D’Agostino’s work in miniature by producing 1:64 scale versions of his cars as part of its collectable Hot Wheels range.
And most of his customs are on display at the famous Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California and Darryl Starbird’s Hall of Fame Museum in Afton, Oklahoma.
Custom cars are distinct from hot rods, being based on later model classic cars from the 1950s and ‘60s with extreme levels of modification – particularly to the standard bodywork and paint – to make them look unlike any other car.
Customising has also created its own unique terminology, including ‘lead sled’ (molten lead used to form smooth panel joins), ‘chopping’ (lowering the roof), ‘sectioning’ (narrowing the car’s side profile) ‘channeling’ (lowering the body on its frame) and ‘frenching’ (making lights, aerials etc look sunken into the body) to name a few.
This exacting car craft has also created some of the wildest developments in paint technology, which started in the 1960s with the deep transparent look of ‘candy-apple’ and ‘metalflake’ finishes that produced brilliant effects.
This burgeoning garage-based industry soon inspired rapid development of the highly advanced commercial paints available today from some of the world’s top automotive paint manufacturers.

The guys over at Toymods recently held their annual Classic Celica appreciation day, which involved a nice cruise up to Wisemans ferry after a quick social meet up at the pub.
A total of 46 Celica’s made it on the day which is a wicked turnout for the good old Toyota sports car. With people attending from as far as Queensland, the quality of metal was sublime. It’s not often you get to see a bunch of neat old school Toyotas all in one place, so lots of people were out and about snapping photos.
What Sunday cruise wouldn’t be complete without a BBQ? Upon arrival to their destination at Wisemans Ferry, some of the Toymods boys fired up the BBQ and got the sausages sizzling for the hungry crowd.
Bendix was lucky enough to be a part of such a cool event. One lucky raffle winner walked away with a Bendix voucher for a set of brake pads, and he was super stoked with the prize!
We’re certainly looking forward to the next Toymods event, as these guys really know how to round up a good crowd and put together a top day. Thanks again to the guys over at www.toymods.org.au for organizing a hassle free event.
