Entry list was supposed to be posted last night so I dunno.

There are only 40 entries or so atm. And I also wouldnt be too concered if your credit card hasn't been charged. They used to do this as it makes it easier if you have to cancel. So you can expect to not be charged until after the event has been run.

Why is that porche so slow :) He lifted off on the flipflop!!! A video in your car would be better andrew :)

Hey - anyone who hasnt been to Calder before and wants to see some in-car footage here's a good one of a 911 Carrera Sport 3.2

Lap of Calder - Its pretty big at 7.3MB as a warning.

But it gives you a good feel for the bumps at the end of the straight, the hill and the flip flop.

In all seriousness, can anyone with a spare vid cam pm me if i am able to borrow it on Saturday. I want to get some good footage of the guys competing

No Scotsman or Snowman???

It will be interesting to see how Wayne goes. He was quick in a relatively std car, INAsNT says his new car is quite the weapon

I won't be entering. I got the gtr on the road this w/e and it still needs a few small thing doing. I don't really want to thrash it without driving it for a while. Can't afford to spend more money atm. Looks like the Southern 80 is the go!

Have a great track day guys. Might enter the Calder Rally event but I need to speak to somebody who knows about it first. Is there an agenda listed?

Also - if anyone coming down to watch / have a look and you may be able to flag for part of the day/night please email - [email protected] to express your interest.

As well as helping out, you really get an awesome and up close view from the flag points.

this is a club sprint, there is no requirement on the sup reg to have the tow hook painted red or a tow hook sign. I think some of the tarmac rally there is stricter requirement on this.

from wrx club sup. reg. for the event.

> h) All vehicles must have tow hooks fitted

They recommend having after market tow hooks because they are easy to access and will not damage body kits (if you have a body kit that is). Otherwise the standard toe hooks will get you out of trouble. But like nonalcoholicrwd said they are not a requirement for these track days.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
