the bikini parade usually happens on the saturday and sunday. I already binned the muffin as it was in about 20 pieces.

Deluxe was good catching up mate

OH AND ANDREW NO CURRY TONIGHT

Edited by Whiplash

hahahahaaahahahahaha guess what I just ate the left-overs of :)

Yeh likewise mate

WOW what a day yesterday...... Got to the track at about 9:30am and got home this morning at 4am, lost my glasses at the Sneakys concert, and went and mixed it up at The Garden at the Fringe after!! Realised i didn't even eat a piece of food all day, I really don't know how i lasted until 4am this morning!!

EDIT: I lied i just remembered i went to the Austral for a shnitz at lunch time..........Its all coming back to me now!!

a couple more shocking accidents today, the ute crash was really bad i hope the remain driver in hospital is alright. Heard some news through Glenn Seton this morning that Ash Cooper may not make it through. At the request of the family and V8SCA there has been a tight media hold on the drivers condition to respect the family.

Pitty the Keonigsegg found the wall today (the damages would be worth more than the ute crash) the car seemed very unstable under heavy acceleration out of the corners nearly spinning a couple more times. Andrew that would have been just down from you when it caught fire yeah

i have the sudden urge to get my car tinted.

found some brakes for you Andrew, Carbon Ceramic ones for the 34???? only 13k PER DISK!!!!! and they only last 2 rounds under racing conditions. Was also a bit speechless to find out the 430 is running a special exhaust system which cost 40K :laugh:

damn crazy accidents.

but on the plus side of the weekend i got in for free sat sun :D on the downside i only got to see 1.25 of the australian gt races but you cant win em all.

2nd race was awesome with the ferrari pulling away on the long straight n the lil lotus catching back up in the twistys

what happened to the mean green james bond car? i only seen it in the pit paddack with the bonnet off during the weekend and they didnt even look like they were trying to fix whatever was wrong. did it run at all?

Pretty sure the Aston bent a lower control arm in the rear (LH maybe?)

Commentators said there are no spare parts in Aust, so they have to get one made from scratch... but either way it was out for the weekend..

the aston broke its rear lower control arm of the left hand side. It also suffered a fair bit of damage due to the idiots dragging the car out of the gravel, over the road and up onto the truck on 3 wheels. Not a very happy driver/owner in the paddock afterwards

a new part was being fabricated but wasn't ready in time.

well done to Alan for making it look like a race, he was playing with the lotus. The boys down in th ecoopers garage weren't the least but worried about the lil yellow thing :D

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
