I just put a magic windscreen in my car. Be interested to know details of other places to get them though as my current source (YT) only had the one and I wasn't able to find any other local sources.

In other news I got some THC stage details yesterday. Apparently Barwite looks like fun as its nothing but 9's + 10's for the first 2.5kms! I really need to get out there and have a look at the roads.

I have been told by JA that if you are going to recce Mt Buller tell the base office that this is what you are doing and they might waiver the $35 entry fee.

Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

Forget Red Bull - turns out it's the Cygnet stage that gives you wings

Magic Screen? Heated?

I'll be interested to see how you like the heater. I asked some people about them when I started my car, and some hate looking through them, and some don't see them. I decided to save monies, and kept the heaterbox in my car for the sake of 4-5kg

Actually that was me. The car wiggled a tiny little bit - mainly through the steering wheel - when we hit some standing water and I wasn't expecting it - but at 200km/hr it gave me a minor heart attack!

In what way Jess?

I'm just hangin' to get back in the seat :blink:

Its been so long since I have been in a seat :P Havent been on that side since May :(

Do you find it takes a bit to get into the groove??

Im probably just being paronoid but have always been a bit of a stresser and being in another new seat can be a bit overwhelming at first just getting up to speed with the new driver I guess...

Im probably just being weird like usual LOL

Hahaha, it can be difficult to get in the groove, but I find that recce gets the bugs out and goes a long way to readying towards actual competition.

I suppose it can be daunting being alongside another 'new' driver, but again...as you know...recce helps!

I wish I could spend the time to do recce...I guess its my own fault aswell...But no driver I have sat next to so far as been in the "main game" so to speak and that serious...So I fly in Nav and Fly out again...

I would love to learn to write my own notes and get that much time off but with my motorsport schedule time off is limited from work as I do so many other events...

Ok will stop being a princess and suck it up... :cool:

Just would like more frequent events through out the year to stay ontop of the nerves....

Just venting :P its been awhile..LOL I am excited tho love MT Buller area its so lush and adventerous!!!! :blink::P:(

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
