    Team W116 @ Mount Panorama, Bathurst - Easter 2010

    Pics from today.. Scruitneering was the payoff of all the work completed on the car to prepare it. They did a quick check over, and signed off straight away. Only did Masters Class today (3 laps at 3/4 pace behind a pace car to instruct the lines/apex of each corner). Hook into practise and...

    Bathurst Prep - Final Touches - 450SE 6.9

    Getting close now, only a couple days away from taking on Mount Panorama with the SE6.9 In order to get a bit more track cred and make people think twice about holding me up (or overtaking me... :roll: ), I've added a few R Spec Decals. ;D I'm pretty happy with how it came out.. Thanks to...

    690SE Prep for Mount Panorama

    Ok... so, as there was no real interest in the 450 race car I had for sale, I made the decision to transfer all the parts to my 450SE 6.9. A few reasons.. The front end on the 690SE needed work done, and the race car already had the entire lot done last year so the parts could simply be...

    5k Ohms VS 1k Ohms Supressors

    Turns out the issue was seized lifter at full lift.. and then as I pulled it out little bit by little bit - it wouldn't go back down.. then once I pulled it out completely I tried putting it back in, and it would hardly go in. Turns out Inlet lifter on Cylinder 6 must also be on the blink, so...

    Video Diary of 6.9 EFI/Blower Project - MUST SEE

    Hey Ant, Don't suppose you've had a chance to speak with Dan regarding specs for his blown M100?

    Video Diary of 6.9 EFI/Blower Project - MUST SEE

    Ok, if anyone in the states know's this fella - please put me in contact with him. I'll be trying to get in touch via youtube also. This fella breaks down most of the stuff he's done for his conversion. The video jumps a few steps here and there - doesn't show it all.. but the finished...

    5k Ohms VS 1k Ohms Supressors

    Ok........ So I had a lengthy conversation with someone yesterday who know's most MB Models back the front. Being I've been trying to get enough parts together to put brand new leads onto the 6.9 i'm now at the point where half the 5k Ohm supressors have not come off the old leads properly...

    Power Steering Noise (or maybe something else?)

    Hey All, This problem actually occured the first day after the transplant, and then thinking it would be solved by swapping back to the old power steering pump (possible issue with seals in the new one after sitting for so long) I hadn't posted it yet. But problem is still there. Hasn't...

    Began the engine transplant on the 690SE today. There's lots of pics so I'll let them do the talking mostly, but here's a quick list of what was accomplished today. I will say on a side note, the new engine was a little dusty when we removed the wrap, but after dusting it off - it really is...
