There is a display today just outside my work. They have 3 Ferarris and a porsche turbo. Basically you pay membership of either $15K or $28K per year and for that you get 500 or 1000 points. you use those points to "pay" for useage of the cars in their collection which include Murcielago, Gallardo, F430, 360 modena, Porsche turbo, Aston DB9 Volante etc etc. I think it's pretty reasonable. I was thinking about it quite hard. If I did it for a year it would mean no spending on the GTR that year, and no japan trips that year. But would the sacrifice be worth it I wonder?

Anyway, are any of the members on here in that club? Or do you know someone who is?

Nice. Although for 15-28k per year, Id rather put that into property or some other form of 'potential' wealth making investment - but thats my personal "Bi-Lo / Home brand" style of thought. :ninja:

Lets say a decade worth of investing, and you could perhaps buy one of the mentioned cars, and depending on how the investment went, maybe even a near-city unit with a secure garage too !!

edit : then again the target market would obviously have some disposable readie$ to afford to "hire" nice cars for the year

yeah, see I probably put that much into my property investment each year. I couldn't do it without some sacrifice as I'm no where near made of money, but it's a nice thought. I'd prefer it to owning one. A lease on a murcielago would be a shitload more than $30K a year too. Plus this way you get to try a lot of different cars, and they buy new ones after considering votes from members.

Yeah, but for a half membership, 500 points, you could use say the gallardo/murcielago/430 for a total of like 8 days if you wanted to use it on the weekends, and two weekdays... not much usage for 15k

yeah, but possibly still cheaper than renting one (if you even can?). I would go weekdays anyway, i'm sure there will be plenty of good weekday track days... lol.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
