For me it started nice and early at Maccas Berwick then off to the Village Green and then STI at the Docklands before we even headed off to Heathcote. It was a good but small turn out compared with last year. There would of been around 20 to 25 cars in the convoy on the way up. We got there to find a lot there and cars were still turning up after lunch.

I met a lot of new people witch is allways good. And maybe some new members in the making..

A big thanks to Heathcote Park Raceway ,The WRX guys and all who had a hand in putting this together.. :(

If you have any pic put them up....

Cheers

btw good day...I finally worked out how to launch my car...practiced all the way home. LOL

tried lots of things...in the end some good drag radials would have been the go.

First time at the drags and blew the turbo down the track.. high boost on a ceramic turbo a big thumbs down! still very new to the turbo scene

Meet a lot of new people and beautiful cars which was fantastic and I did like to say a big thank you to those that helped out with my car, much apperciated

A great experience all up, cheers David

Well, I'm sorely disappointed at my results, but besides from that, it was a great day.

The two quickest cars were the Harlequin R33 GTR with a high 10s pass, and second was REXNFX I believe with a high 11..???

Hey David

Did the car drive home alright? Or did you need to chuck it up on the trailer?

Had a great day, thanks to everyone who organised it. It was a good turnout and I got heaps of runs in.

Found heathcote to be a weird track though. At Calder, for me to run a 12.9 i was getting 2.2 60'. At heathcote to run a 12.9 i need a 1.9 60'. Did anyone else find they ran slower at heathcote?

Mike.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
