I picked up another rear rim for my bike today from the wreckers for $100, it was white.... so i got to work. Here's how far i have got.

What i have learnt;
-Paint stripper stings like hell
-Sanding sucks

As predicted Holden has cleaned up at Hamilton, looks like it was a great event for those of you that went. My corporate couch was comfy as, and the beer was cold, awesome viewing.

Race Three (36 laps)

1. Garth Tander (Holden) 1 hour 27.5864 seconds
2. Steven Richards (Ford) 1:00:28.7499
3. James Courtney (Ford) 1:00:31.5311
4. Rick Kelly (Holden) 1:00:34.3015
5. Mark Winterbottom (Ford) 1:00:34.6398
6. Fabian Coulthard (Ford) 1:00:36.3145
7. Craig Lowndes (Ford) 1:00:36.4902
8. Steven Johnson (Ford) 1:00:36.9480
9. Andrew Jones (Holden) 1:00:38.4834
10. Shane Van Gisbergen (Ford) 1:00:38.9206

With only 3 Holdens in the top 10 I am not sure that is classed as cleaning up hehehe

im pretty sure the V8 Supercars are tinkered with a bit Tom.... they are like 630hp. The engines they use are the v8's out of the early 1990's vehicles i think... and the only reason they arent any faster is that the rules limit them to 650hp and they arent allowed to rev past 7500rpm. They seem to handle that much horsepower pretty well from what i saw in hamilton too lol

and i got sick of polishing so i thought id leave the rim how it was and clearcoat it and slap my old tyre on it. Here it is. Complete... for now.

[bucket boy]

it looks like it come up all right mark

TERGO STRIP is the best stripperget it from bunnings saves alot of sanding
