Hehe - last Friday. Most unbelievable thing I have done in a car. The place is unbelievably scary. Still - I was told that 9:12 on my 1st ever lap around there in a car I'd never driven before puts me into a category known as "insane". lol

I really want to go back again very badly.

A race prepped (well cage, good suspension and brakes) BMW E87 135i.

Decent engine and RWD coupled with a short wheel base made it very exciting to drive - until it started to piss down then it was just down right frightening. lol

Company I used - http://www.rent-racecar.de/gb/ - they were really great.

I've got a Dopod windows mobile phone so thought I'd share this find with you folks. It works on Windows mobile and also has a full windows version (I'm also working on integrating a laptop into the car for a full car-puter - but that is taking some time).

It is free and has capabilities to do ODBII logging too! I haven't tried it yet but looks good. Now, if I could just figure out how to get ODB out of my Autronic SM2!

Unfortunately I no longer have my Nokia so I can't use the race-chrono software. But I did a bit of searching around and I found another application that works on any phone with java capabilities. It's no where near as cool as race chrono but it is better than nothing. I did a quick test and it seems to work well as a lap timer but it just doesn't have the cool google earth / excel functions.

Just thought someone out there may be interested in a cheap lap timer.

found it on the IPRA forums. thought it might be handy for some people here, and we might get some feedback about how it well it works! see if its worth upgrading my old phone...

Hey, have you seen this one? RaceChrono

It does all kinds of stuff like lap times, quarter mile times, 0 - 100kph etc

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
