  1. The other good thing is this is a open public forum where the police are know to frequent. And swearing and name calling like a disgruntled 15yr old isn't going to win you any prizes. Why are people so ignorant ?
  2. All I can hear is where is the waaaaambulance, you cannot eat whilst driving, its simple common sense, alas there isn't much of that going around. Don't be stupid and you will have no problems.
  3. Sweet, I'll be happy if the oil problems have gone away and I get to do a few sessions, not to worried about times at this stage, well see how I feel after my first session though, I might get possessed by a speed demon, LOL.
  4. Alignments done, I even vacuumed the carpet, now that serious, hope its dry.
  5. Just rang wholesale suspension and got a quote for some adjustable castor rods and a full bush replacement for the rear cradle, I've just got to wait till I'm on leave in December now to get them fitted. Das boot will be zooming around corners then, just like a MX5, only big and fat.
  6. Spend your money on the important round things, the tyres.
  7. I've seen black stock rims on a white car which looked good, I've got silver stockies on mine which I'm happy with for road use, stock rims are good for a lot of reasons. Paint them black, doooo iiiiitttttt

  9. Have a look around locally then have a look at importing your own, I've used www.tirerack.com in the states, for under $1000 you can have delivered to your door tyres which if purchased in Australia would cost nearly twice as much. My last lot were Dunlop Direzza 245/45 17 which cost me $145 a tyre( $450 each here) or $930 for 4 delivered to my door, I'm in the process of getting some more tyres at the moment, I'm looking at Hankook RS 3 (?)$120 a tyre at the moment, worth $310 here, even with the $350 delivery and fitting costs I save about $300. Shipping takes about 5 days. The only people who will tell you importing you own tyres is a bad idea are Australian tyre distributors for some reason. Shop smart.
  10. It will definitely hold you in place so you don't move around but that isn't what a harness is designed for, the seat holds you in place, the harness stops you from being thrown around in the event of a accident.
  11. 3 point harness hence no nut strap, only correct way IMO would be to install a harness bar, you can use the bolt on the seat belt slide thing on the right side but you will need to drill a hole in the floor on the left side and use a backing plate. Look at a few cars that have rolled over, its the top of the seat that stops it from going any further down, if you cannot move out the way its going to be your head that stops it. Do a risk assessment on it and see what you come up with. Mark " safety devices that are installed without thought will be just another risk "
  12. I paid for the last event but couldn't get there due to my car being the devil, I paid full price for entry, I'm not asking for my money back, BUT, seeing though I've never been to a Texi as yet and competed in a car can I pay the first timer price, please. If the car holds together at Eastern Creek this Sunday I'm 100% sure that its a 75% chance of me being there rain hail or shine.
  13. I had a problem with the charger I got, " apparently " there's different current amp things ? Speak to a battery joint for some pro advice. I'm looking at getting a new trickle charger with the connections wired in full time for easy access and safety.
  14. Use the search function, there are lots of ways to do it but most of them are wrong. You don't want a harness if you don't have a roll cage either, if you roll the far the harness will hold you upright and your head will act as a roll cage, but with your head made from meat and bone you will be dead.
  15. I thought you were talking about me.
  16. I used champix, twice, first time I didn't finish the whole course, second time I did, still want to smoke, I've had a few over the last year, smoking is the devil. Smoking is for mugs, for your money and health all you get in return is smelling like arse, no lung function and numerous diseases, its a addictive drug just like heroin. I haven't had a ciggy for months but even now talking about it I feel like one. Smoking isn't the devil, its the grim reaper. Drugs are bad OK
  17. Question, will the tyre rule be used to divide the classes, ie if I run Dunlop direzzas ill be in street but if I run Khumo V700 I'll be in club ? Regs just say no full slicks if I'm remembering right. Thanks 1week to go, might have to clean the car.
  18. It's all about how much bang you want for your buck.
  19. Bloody Emo,s better keep out of the way of my RWD boat, the driver assist options might get all emotional and drop their show bags mid corner when the fat heavy RWDFTW boat is all over them. LOL.
  20. Fat heavy slow slugs. You want power to weight, also remember that a 10k GT will be worth 5k in 5yrs when you try and sell it. DONOT do any mods on a NA Skyline, waste of money really, if you want one then keep it stock and save your money instead of wasting it on meager increases in power for a large out lay. If you want a GTR save for one and don't waste your money. MX 5 would be another good choice, quick and nimble, and chicks like them so its a win win really, but get a hard top.
  21. RWDFTW, 4WD is for the cheats. ; )
