Tsukuba Race Prep (all Finished, Some Vids & Pics ) !

i agree!! the difference light, slicks & talent!! none of which mark has. lol

Hey Russ you certainly got my attention and it seems many many others in the Jap import car world. Now I have to spend more time and mondey to get near your times. Awesome time for Semi slicks and with good slicks you would take at least a second off that, so right up there and still no aero on the car and other things you can do. You sure that trasponder was not moved to help your times???. He he.

Now go do it in Japan and fly the Aussie flag. Tough competition over there not just a zed boat to beat, some serious cars. Will be interesting.

well the ol Beer Baron is revved up too. just finally got my arse into gear last night and booked my flights. I hit Tokyo on the 29th and staying bout 2 weeks.

Just trying to decide if I should wear an australian flag as a toga or a nappy? not sure which will go over better with the japanese people attending. maybe the toga as it will be a bit nippy in the first week of december. lol.

[N1GTR]

Id vote toga

Might be hard to look cool when its that cold

[Beer Baron]

yeah good point. Plus I don't want to intimidate others with my 'package'... lol. toga it is.

[giant]

[tacker]

Ye Gods,

homer simpson in an Aussie toga in Japan .....i can see cult status on the horizon

[djr81]

yeah good point. Plus I don't want to intimidate others with my 'package'... lol. toga it is.

I reckon you should go as a sumo wrestler wearing an Australian flag as a mawashi.

forget KT, if you see the infamous beer baron let him have a steer. he has balls like a rhino and is not afraid to back your car into the wall then give you constructive criticism about your cars brakes.

Hey Russ, what do you think of your STACK cluster mate? I'm tossing up between a STACK 8130 and an MXL PISTA at the moment, and not sure which way to go.

hey dane

love the stack, really easy to read!!

all warnings really visible, just make sure you get the model you want with all the right sensors and readings that you require.

cheers russ

[phunky_monkey]

Thanks for the tip Russ.

I was contemplating the stack as it looks really easy to read, as well as having the analogue tacho which I think would be easier on the fly, but the cost of it to have the same sort of functionality of an MXL is up there...

Cheers
