hhmmm... i wouldn't be able to make next saturday, thats the election and im going to be very busy... meh, i'll just get Mick to detail my car for me

interested. pics?

jesus! 15.5K?!?!?! thats crazy!!! someones gotta want it...

just digging this up.... not trying to sound lazy or anything, but anyone heard any more on this? i'd do it myself, but i wont have the time until next year... im happy to say that my car will be track ready again by the end of the year, so look out boys and girls!

33's

let me guess, you just bought a split system Air Con? just check the height of the box, as you can't lie them down, but it should ok in the back of the troopie. if not, gimme a call and i should be able to help you out with a trailer...

i also have a set of 17's, btu they require spacers so i dont think they'll do the job...

bagless

is there still one spot avaliable? i havent been in town for 3 weeks, so im not up to date.... cheers.

maths

perhaps have the tent and banner on location early to setup and claim our spot? i'd be happy to help do that....

bad

masacare (i had to finish it off!)

trophies would be great. i would suggest 3 (providing its 'lines V supras). you could do fastest skyline, fastest supra and fastest club. fastest club being the avg of all the best laps from each driver of each car. the club with lowest avg lap time is the winner. or is that a little complicated? possible to invite other clubs, but if you invite a big club like the ford or holden guys, then you'll have a lot more cars then needed (too many can be bad on the track) and you'll have 2 different clubs with 2 different interests. i think if we do invite other clubs, we should try and keep it imports only and leave the jap bashing bogan commodore drivers out.... perhaps open it up to the nissan silvia guys, or the wrx's? if we organise it far enough in advance, we should be able to let it sit for a while on both forums and if the numbers required aren't there, then we'd open it up to other organisations. i know for one that my bro owns a JZA70 and he is real keen to go, but doesn't get on the supra forums much. if we can get cars from both canberra and sydney, we should be able to get enough people.... also, if the numbers are looking good, it'd be worth telling the big magazines about it (HPI, Autosalon, Hot4's etc...) and possibly getting some coverage that way. that would make another good advertising tool if people knew that they might be able to get their car in a magazine....

home-less

its just you....

when did you guys slip in? trying to suss out the competition i bet if its organised far enough in advance, a week day should be ok for those who need to get the time off work (most of us i would imagine!). that would also mean that the cost would be lower for those participating. in that "options on standby" list that Jon posted, are any of those forced options or are they per car if they are required? what does the basic outlay of money actually get us? timing, insurance, hire of the track only, garages?

head

great...

they should do straight in the rotor, they do for 33's. you should be able to research the part number in the cataloge you should have behind the desk (im only guessing...). they are more expensive then the Bendix Ultimates, but i think its worth it.... its funny, just as i say all these good things about these pads, only this morning they ran out pad and i now need new ones! oh well, they're still a great pad....

^^^haha! ford rules... well, the GTR's ruled, but you know what happened....

im still using them on my car and they've been on the car for a year and a half! (done 3 full track days on them). they are great on the street. they take about 2-3 normal braking applications to warm up and work effectively, but once you've done that, they're perfect. as an everyday pad, i would recommend them. as for the track, they are also great. they can handle big temps and wont fade (in my experience anyway). i warped my brake discs before my brakes faded, then my fluid boiled, but the pads stayed true and still to this day will stop my car on a dime....
