It is good for the track day community to know which workshops are supporting our passion.

This is going to be a fantastic event. All spectators are welcome.

Don't be so sure. You have to make it to the end of the event to win and anyone can suffer unexpected reliability and setup problems !!!

Consistency will determine the final players.

Wishful thinking there :O

The cars at the pointy are not only quickest, but better setup, more consistent and more reliable. While I think the dial-in and least spread events would have been won by these guys anyway, at least the rest of the field had a chance.

From my point of view I have zero chance of winning anything and will get more track time in the morning so I'm debating which event to participate in. For the guys at the front of the field and from a spectator point of view I'm sure they want to see the fastest car win.

Of course this is just my opinion and open to debate. :)

Hey IanB you are welcome to compete in the Street class. Send me an email with confirmation of your deposit.

Willo, the last two track days both Russell and Cam had issues with things like brakes, engine, tyres, cooling etc and would not have made it to the final round on points. Those guys are so fast because they are pushing the limits of their machinery.

keqs, that is a good point. I will come up with some prizes to make it more interesting. Give me a couple of days.

baboo, sure is. Just send me an email to lock in your booking. I have changed the format so that the numbers in each class and the types of AWD can be a bit dynamic.

IanB, its a $30 deposit to lock in a booking. (I thought you were on the mailing list ??)

The standard morning session still has spots as well for anyone who just wants to come out an do the normal track day.

Don't be scared about the event. It will be run to the format of all my track days. The racing is against the clock as always with all the on track safety rules applying.

The GTR turnout so far is huge. The street class is thin on starters though, so if your thinking of having a shot, book in now. There are about 10 spots left.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
