Eug: Thanks mate. What did it end up setting you back if you don't mind me asking? And which kit did you go for?

David: Nice one mate. My clubby is similar, just bought some suspension for it. Trying to keep it off the track though

Gotta be able to race something while mines off the road. Usually drive a Liberty wagon so it doesn't matter so much if the Ute breaks. will take some more photo's of the inside of the Skyline when i get a chance.

My old car had high rollcentres which is actually quite dangerous, I reckon if the roll centre is under the ground then the car can't roll above the ground!

Ooooh GTI LOL, i am actually currently a mechanic for peugeot They are not as 'cool' as they used 2 be just a lot more of a pain 2 work on! haha

306 GTI6's are a bloody awesome car to!

Yeah, a mate of mine has a 306 GTi-6. Awesome car, handles so well!

[Duncan]

Stuart - definately they were talking about the r35. the 32, 33 and 34 are all a little too un-standard from what I've seen. Which means there are quite a few r35 heading in next year (assuming this year's results did not scare anyone off...)

Yeah I was thinking the previous models would be hard to revert for the regs.

Will be good to see a big 35 effort in '09... the first year of any model without any factory support would always be hard, hence why Lambo and Ferrari always struggle.

hey stu, yeah Duncan is right hoping to do it in the r35 , which would be a lot of fun, a baptism of fire though!!
