sorry cant - working

it would be a blast in my own car, just to see its limits and what it is capable of. did the speed limiter come into play?

would you only be doing this to make a bit-o-noise? why dont you just impress everyone with your driving skills?

is the limit reached?

dont you just have the 32gtr? loking into licences now. what day were you planning. is it a hired track day or some king of event?

Little scared about travelling to wakie just incase something happens to the car and i get stranded down in goulburn. Do you drive or tow down? and are licences needed, would also need to source a helmet.

and here i was thinking my 40th anniversary was pretty rare

Yeah that would probably be next. ive done it now, so wouldnt do it again in a hurry, like gold class cinemas, but it was just a blast to thrash around a (close to) race prepped car and not have to worry about it. Pretty keen to hit a track again, whether it be circuit, drag, skids...

or an avo turbo front mount, using the original intercooler pipes, its dead easy to fit and no holes to cut!

well, i there maybe something there. does the qualoty of car match the amount of kays on the clock? if you are happy with the car, then i wouldnt worry about how much its reading. do they line up correctly?

what colour?

how is it being lowered? springs and shocks? put heaps of weight in it?

Alright just got back from the arvo session. Let me tell you it was a an awesome experience and heaps fun. The in car co-driver was pretty good and helped heaps and they set up witches hats so you know where to aim and start braking. Yeah the track was a bit weird where they cut it from corner 4-9. i was like 'which way do i go' and he was going 'straight. go, floor it, floor it.' they really want you to go fast and have a good time. Those slicks were great, had heaps of speed through corners and they bit hard. i got the tape, i have to watch it now. have to get it converted to digital as well. I was heel/toeing through it and he said that i done it really good, with good technique. i was pretty rapt as theis was my first circuit race, and have only practiced on the street and watching dvd's with incar cams. Yeah i got in the champion ford, and the guy goes 'good choice because this is the most powerful car running, with 450hp'. And towards the end, you start to get comfortable with the car and track. i actually caught up to the car in front. Highly recommended!

Well in that case im glad i didnt already know the track well and actually turn there instead of going straight! I will probably take it real easy and just get the hang of it. would be embarrassing to go off the track. nice and smooth, ok. i cant see how i wont have fun.

i got mine from joel as well. really helped me out. my brother was so impressed with the quality and price that he bought one also a couple weeks later. we must be putting he's kids through college!

Going to the v8race (http://www.v8race.com/) around e/c. i have about 7 laps on the track(smaller track i think?). Just wondering if you guys had any tips before i get there in regards to driving technique and how it differs from the track. Like the basics of steering wheel grip and control to picking the correct line. im a first timer to the track, so any tips would be great. From what i have heard, these cars are close to stock engines, stripped, with suspension and slicks. What times should i be getting, and i will tell you the result after i run. Oh and which car should i go ford or holden? hehe

...just the ability to make more power

Does anyone have any pics of their wheel without the airbag? If you just took your airbag off, could you post up a pic so i can see where the wires go. or maybe if someone could remove just the bottom cover on the wheel which should expose the wiring. i should be able to see them then. Dont know where the horn wire goes either?

Good read. might try it tomorrow

bump

try a heat gun if they only sikaflexed or glued on to heat it up then spray some lube in there. get some tooth floss and run this between the kit and the body, should work alright.

Ah, good man! You know the outcome?

just send the info to [email protected] and they will look after it for you. if that doesnt work, give your local station a buzz. but seriously, if your right and the car is stolen, i think the owner would want it back. What if it was your car.

yeah it will, but in a few weeks.

why do you want an rb26 for? im sure there are engines that are just as drift worthy, such as those that are in the car already. might be better to just do up the original engine rather then do the conversion? I say throw the cash into suspension/chassis setup.
