ahh how was the clipsal?? i've never been :P

Stomach Wrenching and damn fast! Quite a bit quicker than any of our cruises ive ever been on.. Id love to get a hot lap in my car (maybe with some slicks) and then a hot lap in a v8 to compare differences!!!!... Ahhh one can only dream!! :sorcerer:

yeah tis good, but theres so much shit wrong with it, got some rust

the interior looks shit as, got no key for it :P , needs new shockers

needs all windows replaced, coz they've all got yellow paint on em

probably has alot more wrong with it but yeah, i'm gonna have no

money left :

What's the story behind your car, I've heard bits and peices about but I haven't heard how you came about buying it.

Took my toy out for a drive for the first time since the midnight cruise some time back..... WOW.... Still feeling the adrenaline!...... Dont have any traction in 1st 2nd or 3rd which is a bit worrying but the good thing about a line is you just take your foot off the pedal and correct the steering a bit and it snaps rite back in line. (that is if you dont want to hold the slide heheheheheheh)....

Anyone know if AIR is fixed and ready to run yet or do we still have to do the dodgy on the street?

Must be costing big bickies to have the track just sitting there not being used and not bringing in any money (ie the drags must bring in a couple of grand minumum each weekend)...... is it just the timer board that they are fixing or is there a bit more to it?

I believe they are resurfacing the back section, because i also believe they might wanna hold some other events such as Grip Racing and of course Drift(because that brings in more money than anything) will be good to actually have other forms of racing there(again).

They have actually been needing to fix up the whole track for a few years now...........just look at it!! But better to do it now than later!! :(

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
