Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!

[Dave R]

I know its a bit early to be asking, but where will the 2nd superlap be held??

i have to get my car ready... seems like time attack events is going to be the new thing, rather then racing (like in japan)!

[Bozman1]

Rather than racing?!?!?!

Japan is huge on motorsport. I race there every year.

I have a nice little warm up for superlap. I am away with MOTOR magazine for the week testing 20 new cars for 'Bang For Your Buck'

We have one Nissan in the field of cars, the 350Z. I will be thrashing the EVO X, Sti, WRX, XR6t sedan and ute, 1 FPV something, SS sedan and ute, 1 HSV something, R26 F1 Renault, JCW Cooper S, 135 BMW and a few more that I just cannot remember

Bang has an $80,000 price cap, so no mega exotics.

[BOZ22N]

can general admission get into the pit area?

[Dave R]

i rather set-up my car for time attacks, less cost involved in damages me thinks (supersprints ect) so much cheaper then racing....

[Beer Baron]

umm, last time I saw him grabbing beers he said david loftus would pick up the check?

anyway, I reckon the winner shouts... that should see the times blow out a bit.

Hey I am having some issues with the tow hooks. My front one is concealed behind my front bumper how visible is everyone else’s? If I remove the front bumper which takes 2 minutes you can see it great. Will I have to mt an aftermarket one? There is not really any spots on the front of an R33 to mt a tow hook?

Duncan you were mentioning about some wire rope extended to your front bumper, do you have any photos of this? Does the wire rope have to be load rated?

[JAS-25T]

Connect a load rated D-shackle to it to extend it out.

Thought I'd just ask in here instead of making a thread: does anyone know where to get tow straps from? Revolution don't sell them, and Racer industries charge like a wounded bull.

Anyone...anyone...Bueller...Bueller

[JAS-25T]

Might be worth heading to your local blackwoods or bullivants.

They both do lifting equipment for industry and could probably find what you are after for a reasonable price.

else..... pay out of the arse for it.

[phunky_monkey]

Thanks mate, might check them out. If not I'll just bring one in from the UK... 12 pounds there, $65 here!

[LotusHPE]

What sort of hook do you need? We make one that fits the Lotus for $30. It bolts under an M8 bolt.

[LotusHPE]

Ours looks a lot like this one. It's powder coated red. I will have some in the toolbox at Oran Park if you need one.

even if it's visually concealed by the bumper, but it can still be used without removing the bumper then you can just place one of the 'TOW' stickers that have the arrow to point where it is. the sticker pack that race and rally speedzone sell has those on it. costs $5 and has tow, blue triangle etc. all you need. and a quarter the price of the revolution racegear ones.

[phunky_monkey]

Thanks mate, but I'm after a strap for the front of the car, this one to be precise: http://www.racerindustries.com/store/index...products_id=347

Just don't want to pay their asking price considering it's so much cheaper here: http://www.gprdirect.com/OnlineShop/Produc...c=250&g=822

I don't like being screwed on price

[Beer Baron]

you don't even really need that scroth thing if you still have factory tow hooks.

all you need is a loop about 8 inches long. you feed it through your tow hook, then through itself. so it's now gripped onto the tow hook, with a nice loop to poke out through your bumper. shoudl cost about $10-$20.

like this kind of material.
