Very nice choice of play thing you got there Michele. You are gonna have some mad fun with that.

I see it's sporting avons,,,is that your doing or has it been used already for hillclimbs?.

Are you going to do the NSW champs in it?.

You will need to build up your wrists as well.

I haven't driven it yet :D the Avons were on it.

First I'm hoping to learn how to drive it and do some small events and if all goes well (and a long way down the track) I would like to have a crack at OzBOSS, but I don't want to get ahead myself as I know I have a steep learning curve to go through.

So in the meantime, Wakefield and the local hillclimb.

What are you runnning in?

I'll be doing all the state hillclimb champ events,,,the state supersprint ones and a bunch of track days. You should do the state supersprints,,,that car of yours would be an absolute ball at O/P and E/C.

Do you have anybody to help you look after it and did you get any equipment with it. Not trying to be nosey,,,just interested.

Nothing with it, well, not if you don't count the wets he threw in which were perished anyway. Erol Richardson has been wonderful and is helping me set it up. He's helping me get set up with an AIM data dash/logger, seat, pedal position etc. I don't think I would have attempted it without his help. Is there a supersprint category for these things? Track days sound great, can't wait to get this girl up to OP and EC :D:):O

The person I bought it off never transferred the log book, so I'm going through all that at the moment too, stat decs, forms, photos, JP's sheesh, you know what CAMS red tape is like. I understand this car used to belong to Tony Stephens (Darlington Park Raceway) although he didn't have a log book for it either according to CAMS and the log book number stamped on the car.

If you're doing the state rounds, you're going to be here too, so look me up, there's always a bunk for friends here if you need it.

yeah it runs in formula libre in hillclimbs and supersprints. will be interesting to see how both the FH and the radical handle some of the bumpier hillclimb tracks

Yeah, I'm worried about the transition onto the track down here, I imagine it would be much the same at King Edward Park too where you go up through the garden and back onto the track.

If you see me looking for material to line the bottom of my car... you'll know what happened LOL

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.

      Most women will agree that parking is the most taxing part of driving
