Category: On the Street
Posted: 30.10.2007 13:05

Supernats 13 just around the corner Sydneysiders can now breathe a sigh of relief as Supernats 13 is now on the horizon. Promising to be an action packed event, Supernats 13 will smash Western Sydney International Dragway on Saturday the 10th of November with some never seen before horsepower antics.

Introducing the first wheel stand competition in Oz, where height and distance will determine Australia’s wildest wheel-stander!

Gates open from 8am with the show going right through until 10pm, so make sure you get there early to get a great spot close to the action.

With over 40,000 in cash and prises up for grabs, you can be sure the rubber will burn and rev-limiter will be abused!

Brett Stevens Racing puts on a show for a good cause

Category: Motorsport
Posted: 30.10.2007 08:13

In between their busy schedule of racing a Funny Car, Top Bike and two Top Doorslammers, the Brett Stevens Racing outfit is putting a display for the Leukaemia Foundation.

Stevens is the official Patron of the Leukaemia Foundation QLD (Caboolture branch) and is putting his 3,500 horsepower Kitten Car Care Funny Car on display, as well as his Jack Daniel’s Racing Nitro Harley Top Bike and both the Jack Daniel’s and the SP Racing Falcon Top Doorslammers.

Also scheduled for the day will be a show and shine street car display, raffles, giveaways, face painting and a sausage sizzle which will see all profits raised going to the Leukaemia Foundation QLD.

“It isn’t very often that I get the opportunity to have my team on display at a local event due to my racing and show commitments, but this opportunity came up and I was more than happy to help out for the good cause,” Stevens said.

“It is also a great opportunity for people in my own community to come down and have a look at what a professional motorsport team is like up close and personal.”

“As well as my display there will be a range of other activities going on throughout the day at Tower Tattooing with all profits raised going to the Leukaemia Foundation so everyone should come on down!”

A lesson on oil viscosity and Subaru engines

Category: YouTube
Posted: 29.10.2007 12:19

While this looks to be a very pointless exercise, it certainly is a entertaining lesson on just how important the oil’s role is in an internal combustion engine, or in this case, an external combustion engine.

Using the rev-limiter as some form of base for the test, the oil was drained from the engine and the clock then began to tick. The little four banger put up a fight but it was friction that got the better of it in the end.

Friday random engine conversion

Well, this one is certainly different. She’s a 1960 Nash Rambler wagon featuring the driveline and rolling stock of a 360 Ferrari Modena.

While we would imagine a driveline like this wouldn’t come cheap, and would be few and far between, but it is certainly an original engine conversion that I’m sure no body else has done.
