hahah i kept thinking the same thing Troy. Watching it i'm going, wow he's moving... then i timed him and thought shit, i'm (hopefully) going to be going faster haha...

It is the Nation's premier power track afterall . . . . Hehe, I don't know if I'd bother turning up even if I HAD money or a gearbox in My car ! ! Neeeed POWWWWWWWAAAAAAHHHHH ! !

hmmm, manifold pressure compensating Fuel regs on ebay for $120, looks interesting . . . . . ;)

Strange. I was looking at that lap and thinking man he is flying. And braked way later then me over the back. yeh he was 4 secodns slower. Hmm, maybe i will be lucky to wipe off half a second :)

I swear I would have made up 2 seconds of my 3.5 second improvement there last time just by getting some more balls on the back straight... hairy stuff though! Great fun :D

Sandown is still great without a lot of power, and the time can be made up... a little ;)

Hardman: Nigel was only 1.5 seconds quicker than me in the 450rwkw Supra last time we went. Not sure if he was running full power or not, but it sure looked quick on the straights!

hahaha i don't expect to be anywhere near snowy or jack, first time out and lack of skill, you know.... Should be fun tho, i'm getting pumped....

Ferni,

You and I are line ball on nearly every track. Look for a low 23 and you know you would have had a good day.

Best of luck.

I noticed the same thing... at least we have each other to chace, screw these guys doing sub 20's around sandown...

Got the car ready on sunday, can't wait to get out there, little bit nervous even though I'm doing driver training lol.

Yeah you'll be nervous just before you go out, once you're out there it will all just come to you, and you'll start having fun :closedeyes:

Well done Ferni, a 1.22 is really moving.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
