- Just spotted the silver XR6T that smashed me in my first race. Also spotted the tuner's name stickered on it. #

- At BP Thornleigh for fuel, drinks and road snacks. #
- Open road.. I love the Aussie highways, and large cruisy cars. #
- 200k down, just on a quarter tank gone, using approximate 8.2l/100k. Not too bad, so far. #
- Playing a very slow game of leapfrog with a red Commodore. #
- Half a tank gone, 360k driven, still averaging 8.2l/100k. #
- Kempsey.. I'll be glad when this place is bypassed. 50 zones don't belong on our national highways. #
- Dear Meatbags, please stop sitting on 70 in a 100 zone. Kthxbye. #
- Coffs Harbour, 500k down, 400 to go. Time to find some food, I think. Hello Clog Barn. #

XR6 Turbo – Race prep at CV Performance
Author: StrikerSep 14
Just got off the phone with Jono at CV Performance, and booked the car in for a bit of TLC before I drive to Queensland to race at Willowbank Raceway.
Engine oil and filter change, gearbox oil (and filter?) change, and diff oil change.
They’re also going to pull our the spark-plugs, and let me know how things are going in that department, as well as having a bit of a look at the idle settings.
While I had hoped to get a set of Mickey Thompson Street Radials by now, my financial priorities have changed, and modifications on the car will be a little slower.
As a result, so will my quarter mile times.
Incidentally, Jono mentioned he was googling for CV Performance, and my site came up. I thought that was pretty cool.
Hats off to the boys over there, I may have lost my first race, but that’s just cause to go further next time.

- iPad – to buy or not to buy? I'd use Numbers for sales tracking, VNC to control media center. But would I find a legitimate daily use? #
