Video of the finish of stage 8 ( excuse my rapist like breathing in the background , id just climbed a mountain )
And Richards interview
A few pics ...
This explains some of it , but as the saying goes " to finish first , first you have to finish "
Car 4 ALEX KELSEY: Finished the stage running on 3 cylinders. Water after the ford....
Car 3 MATT SUMMERFIELD: Stopped in stage. Crew ok.
Car 7 EMMA GILMOUR: Stopped in stage. Crew ok.
Car 9 GRAHAM FEATHERSTONE: 3rd Gear problem.
Now up to 5th after stage 2 , doing stage times near equal with Alex Kelsey whos running in a $200k+ Prodrive built V11
And now pulled out over a minute on their rookie title rival.
;D

Clubsub members SAS ( Richard Baddock ) and gotasuby ( Jason Anderson ) are going hard , after stage 1 they are running 7th with a 42 second lead on their competitor for the rookie title .
A long way to the finish but a fantastic start.
Go hard boys and good luck.
Had SAS flush the trans fluid ( it came out black ) on the legacy and replaced the filter , while that was getting done gotasuby turned up with his laptop and tuning cable so he reset the trans ecu.
OMFG what a difference , soo much smoother and no more slip/banging into gears.
Cheers boys
Not exactly the same but we had some shuddering and erratic idle issues with our BL when we first got it.
Ended up being buildup of crap in the throttle stepper motor ( well I think that\'s what its called )
