Its not about how fast you are, its more about finding out what works and what does not. I would suggest as an almost first timer, you would get a lot out of knowing your times then most people.

I will have them on the day. I suggest you try one early in the day and then other towards the end, you should have most of it sorted by then.

hey guys, was good to meet you guys today!

sorry I left early - had other things to do and couldnt be bothered waiting another 2.5 hours for out session

was fun though - need more practice so bring on the next day :rant:

Oh the shame, being brought home on a Skyline trailer :D ,Won't live it down on the zed forum. :D

Just want to say thanks to Pete (Fatz) for his kind offer to transport me home after the Zed dropped a couple of cylinders at the Creek today, much appreciated

Now for major rebuild number two :P .

I was about to complain about not enough track time, but I did get about 45 laps, 90 min of driving. Zed's did not have a good day, but that happens. Had lots of fun with faz and the odd HSV. the TRKBCH did her thing all day. Squeezed the best time of the day 1.55.01 with 3 scooners under my belt. It was lot of fun.

See you all at the next one. I think its the 16th Fatz special

    • 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.
