maybe.. just waiting on the 330 front brake kit
Might have to bust a few "kung Fu' moves down there too

anyone from here going?

[DCVR]

yeah quite a few

[Shale]

I'm actually showing, as is Reuben - I MIGHT have the old tank with me too, which is nowhere near trackworthy and will just spectate. Quite a few from Welly and most of the Chch crew are going too, along with maybe a few jafas

World tech competition in Japan - on car and therory tests
managed to top score the therory test , but lost points on the on car test(even tho I finished first) due to not taking rubbish out of the glove box
and also my diagnostic approach wasnt the Subaru way ...

NZ and Aus had 2.5 na sohc ..USA had na dohc .. England had dohc turbo, so i knew ignition couldnt be "faulted" as the systems are different
I had spent a month setting up for this comp, traced looms etc working out what they could do to set the test car up
So i knew for instance if the rear wiper didnt go and the interior light worked then the fuse was ok as they share the same one.

Subaru methods are - start at the battery and work thru the system
Japan Won the comp - and i dont think you'll ever beat there clinical approach to working on cars
All in all a totally AWESOME experience to have had, even went thru the Subaru factory at Gunma - WOW

and yes V5's rock

[Drunkenmonkey]

I must say wow congrats on that even tho it's not No 1, No2 is still an acheivement to have to accomplish world wide!







Oh and your a dick for getting to go through the factory!

welcome along, nice ride you have, wished both of mine looked a s clean and straight as yours.

[Shale]

Good enough for us tbh, the practical world is a different beast as you'd shown.

And +1, lucky bastard for that Gunma experience!

[Ichi Ban]

indeed VERY lucky
10 days all expense's paid by FHI ( competition was only one day of that )

Its because you do it the kiwi way
and this is why we as technicians/fitters/engineers are sort after overseas, because we get the job done and we do it quickly and quietly and PERFECTLY
You may be No 2 in the world but you are and always have been No 1 to most of us

[G-unit]
