Sorry to hear Adam - I'll let you know when I am out next. I'm away a lot for work but I will go out at every given opportunity!

Wheres a good spot to get a Cams approved helmet from?

Go for Revolution Racegear or Autosport - but you can use ADR compliant helmets, which generally means you can use most if not all motorbike helmets.

Any helmet with the ADR approved sticker will do Luke.

Depends how fusssy you are on a helmet but you can spend anything from $50 to $1000 for a helmet.

had such a good time today, most fun i've ever had behind the wheel of a car. Farstest lap i did was a 1.25 on my street tyres. Thanks to Andy for the advise, it definatly helped me. The car ran perfect all day, untill i had a look at my front brakes :ermm:

Yay for cross drilled rotors on shitty metal. What brand rotors? I usually only go slotted but have to make note of what x-drilled rotors get fatigue like that....

-D

Was a wicked day - ran a 1:17:01 as the quickest, and no matter what I did I couldn't crack a 16!!! Was great to get back on the track again - Dstroy did really well to keep that beast on the circuit with all the sliding around you were getting!!!!!!

what tyres & pads were you running Andrew and how much oil were you putting in the catch can on average.

I was running a fairly worn out set of RE55s bridgestones on 33GTR rims - 255x45x17. Brake pads are street spec at each end, although I do have AP brakes at the front, braided lines and brake ducts too. I didn't have any issues with oil venting into the catch can - but I never have. I reckon it might have collected maybe 100ml over the course of the day (6x15min sessions).

Can't wait to get out there again!!!!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
