Good luck Liam! Hope you have a bit of fun and make some good times :banana:

Thanks Kel! I'll post up some video if all goes wel

Oh awesome...Will come and say Hi :3some:

I so cant wait...need my rally fix!! Rally School just isn't enough!! :cheers::laugh:

Sounds like it will be an interesting experience for the both of us!

Maybe Jeff :(

Update your sig mate, I see you've entered old faithful ;) Unless of course you're going to *BAM!* suprise everyone at the last minute and unveil your 35 all caged up :worship:

no it's the 34 again

just can't bring myself to stuff up such a nice "road car" with a cage

I didn't know anyone read sigs!

Alright, we're 3 days out from Lake Mountain and there's no talk...

We've had the car re-tuned, had the suspension tickled with and have a new set of Yokohama shoes.

Looking forward to the weekend and the weather looks ok...24ish on Sat and 20 with poss showers on Sunday. Adam is looking forward to running in the wet...not sure if thats good, or bad :blush:

oh well i decided not to run rookie, as i didn't have the monies to do it, and no incentive after the possable free entry to Targa was taken away.

just have to join the local circuit series 3 rounds in, and get the car setup for next year. Which i'm guessing will be a 6 day event for the 20th aniversary.

Im sure your all up on it, but this is what i think of when the name Adam Newton and wet are added together.

Its amazing how much that car has changed, they day after that footage I won a comp to go for an extreme ride with him arround symmons plains, and then only a hand full of laps later he ripped the rear quarter off it on the pit exit armco!

So we had an interesting weekend.

Seems the dreaded cold tyres/turn 1 curse was out and about over the weekend.

We started off with an uneventful 4:45 and spent the rest of the weekend trying to match and better that time. Stage 2 saw us massively sideways, rear end in a ditch, rear bumper torn off and right rear alignment shot to pieces...all on turn 1. Despite this we still managed a sub 5 min stage time and all we lost was the rear bumper and a little shine off the car! A spin at turn 3 later on in the day saw a 4:57 before the rally gods allowed some form of speed and we finished Saturday off with a 4:43 on Stage 6.

Adam took the car back to Techsport for a rear alignment that evening while i found some accomodation and the biggest parma i have ever seen.

Sunday saw a much more consistent effort with the only thing effecting our times a damaged Porsche(with oil everywhere) and a little bit of drizzle that we backed off for to ensure a finish.

The final stage 10 started off well and only got better as we blitzed the 9.3kms, smashing our previos best by 5 seconds to end the weekend with a 4:37.7. Good enough to be the 4th quickest on that stage.

Results saw us 6th outright, with a 1st in class, a great lead-in to Targa Rookie in a month.

Was fantastic to catch up with everyone and Jess, Burgo's R looks a heap of fun :-)

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • 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.
