Thought I would start this posting.

Just a quick pic of Nick, Damon and Rory going through the esses.

Great weekend of Alfa racing.

Yeah I'm sure they wouldn't even post in the introduce yourself section.  Dodgy.

Any photos of Frank giving the 33 a hiding?

Here are a couple of snaps I took with my phone (so low-res). I also took some pics on my "proper" camera - I'll check those out tonight and upload any that are worthwhile.

Well, if it was a 33 presumably his times would look pretty heroic   ;)

Hi guys,

I have gone through the photos and found some great ones, now i was only out at the flag point for an hour or so and quite possibly didn't get a shot of everycar out there but if you are interested in photos just pm me or email me at marisa.gangemi@gmail.com
and let me know your racing number and i'll see if can send through some pics for you!

Cheers

Marisa :)

ps: i am also a bit flat out with uni right now so it might take a few days to get photos out to everyone!

Great photos Chris, can I have the HQ file of car 1, need to enlarge to see that it is me who is in car and not Damon. 

That white ToyHonNissan car took a bit more of the corner!!!

Great vid of Chodeboy, you need to find someone to play with.

Also love the V6 sound.

Surely, there must be others who took photos and in car footage.

Come on, put them up.

It is all fun.

Choderboy,

What is the procedure for removing the limiter?
Title: Re: Winton weekend 5-6 March Pictures
Post by: Neil Choi on March 11, 2011, 12:15:45 PM
Foot harder on the accelerator and bigger gonads.
Title: Re: Winton weekend 5-6 March Pictures
Post by: Simon Bidese on March 11, 2011, 01:58:47 PM
i reckon u should put the limiter back on  ;D
Title: Re: Winton weekend 5-6 March Pictures
Post by: MD on March 11, 2011, 07:31:30 PM
Ha haa Neil. I like your thinking !

On a more mundane level, I think the 3 litre engines that are sourced from automatics are limited in the Motronic to 58oo but the manuals I am told go to 7200.
I believe its the same Motronic for both engines but a different pin out. I have tried a few variations without success so far hence my question.
Title: Re: Winton weekend 5-6 March Pictures
Post by: Frank Musco on March 11, 2011, 09:30:06 PM
Grouse vid Mick. Nice catch at 7:50.

Rev limited to 5800?, need to swap those first two numbers and make it 8500!
Title: Re: Winton weekend 5-6 March Pictures
Post by: MD on March 12, 2011, 10:07:18 AM
Oh I see,that's a whole different ball game.

I am by no means cetain about this so don't take me to task but I thought the L-jet set up had the limiter inside the distributor (rotor?) Something like removing a resistor attached to it?

Rumour has it that Neil's fast reaction times are linked to a special transplant operation he has had so that the communication between the gonads and the brain is much fster. He's gottem fitted under his left and right armpits..like I say, it's just a rumour. ;D ;D

Post by: aggie57 on March 12, 2011, 04:41:02 PM
The rev limiter inside the distributor is a simple spring thing that breaks the contact when revs rise.  5 minute job to remove - no pictures needed.  If it's there you'll see it as soon as you take the cap off.

Mick
competition is good for everyone. Try this link and look under "mods" for  rev limit (and fuel cut out)
