Joel wants to do a photo shoot at Deca for this magazine feature he's putting together, thats the only reason.

I was thinking last night that there are plenty of pics of the car so maybe we could just photoshop me into the picture for the purpose of the article.

I am going to ask uniquecarsales.com.au for some more cash to keep the unique carsales on the car but everything else can now come off. The Yokohama will stay on too.

I can't wait to have it back to normal, I'm really sick of not being able to drive it anywhere.

Just some highlights from my photos taken.

A lot of my shots came out really dark, just crappy lighting or the flash wasnt doing its thing, or maybe drunk operator. anyhoo

Congrats to everyone who participated and those who volunteered their time to help out where they could.

I had a ball as usual. Buggered but fun none the less.

In the end, the dyno awards went to:

CDUKTV - Toyota Supra - 742rwkw

RH9 - R34 Skyline GTR - 662awkw

Benny's 180sx - 481 rwkw

CDUKTV and RH9 will most likely be at Final Battle along with the current record holder which is a Supra built by Millenium Motorsport in Brisbane which made 748rwkw on the gas to compete for the grand trophy.

It was only 18 months ago that 604awkw was the record. How times change...

Also congrats to SAU-VIC who scored a runner up trophy in one of the club categories.

Phew, i was gonna change my mind at the last minute and paint my 33 same colour, ive already "copied" your kit luckily i didnt do the same with the paint!! :)

Your car used to be silver yeah?

MissyK, is your car the RX8 with the EZZY plates? Any relation to the Astina?

Man i loved that car back in the day!

My rx8 is the red 1 with MISSSK.

EZZY plates on the orangy RX8 belongs to Ezzy Astina's owner :O

Yep yep, hes my best mate. He couldnt make it this weekend, hes back in Syd, so I had fun with his car. His astina still exists... in bits and pieces in his garage :)

MissyK owned the red RX8 next to the EZZY RX8. The EZZY car is owned by a good friend of hers.

And yea, the same EZZY as with the astina back in the day.

sorry John, just saw ur reply lol

Ezzy nowadays is my 'advisor' hahahhaha

In remembrance of EZZY ASTINA, we put the EZZY plates on the 8 :)

Thanks to all involved for a superb weekend. Ash for organising along with Paul for his help also. Scott for the sign boards (that I am happy to spell check for you next time mate :))

All in, a great weekend with lots of laughs and Brisby as usual being the icing on the cake :)

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
