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...

^^^ No idea Timmy. Although i did have an odd moment in my old evo VIII MR with full electronic talent in the wet where it got into (or I got it into.... I was being a knob :) ) a big slide then it unexpectedly gripped up while still very sideways and shot off the track in the direction it was pointing. One reason I am not a fan of too much electronic talent. It can do strange things sometimes which I guess it believes are in your best interests but might not be. :)

Speaking of lack of electronic talent, I was at a mates post wedding bbq a few weeks back and as you do... end up in the shed!

Wow, his Rx7 has some cool stuff on it.. IE four link, Harrop adjustable sway bar, watts link, floating hubs with adjustable camber. Pretty much the whole rear end was very tasty. Engine bay was looking pretty tasty too, I guess thats why he has been IP state champs a few years in a row.

There was no less than 5 rotors in the shed, imagine the noise :P

Timmy,

would love to chat to him. Have just orderd a modified hilux diff with full floating hubs/axles with camber and toe adjustment and 2 piece brake rotors....and with 32 GTR brakes so there is something nissan on it. :) Allegedly its the same gear Miedeke runs in his Perana.

But be keen to hear anything about the rest of his setup that he is willing to give away. No point reinventing the wheel.

Can I use this as my excuse for those couple of times I went bush in your EMO too? :)

^^^^ No. Your excuse for that was you had sipped one mouthful of beer, and as you warned me, your super skills go to shit after any alcohol. Note: this was on a drive home from Collie not on the track itself. We arent that silly... Drinking while driving on the road is fine right??? All the electronic talent in the world couldnt save you from the understeer of fail you experienced through that right hand turn. :)

^^^^ 200??? Your exaggerating again. Looks like 190 to me. :) But a volvo. What could possibly go wrong. :)

I am sorry my evos keep trying to kill you. They can probabaly smell the GTR on you. Although the evos tried, if this RX7 comes together, it just might succeed given your love or RWD cars. :)

It got to 200! (The picture is too blurry though - because it took around 10mins to get from 190->200 and by then Bris was too drunk to hold the camera steady)

And Wooster - go look in the mirror mate :)

Just wondering if any of you guy's have a CAMS tarmac rally log book yet and if you do what category did you apply for. I'm thinking I should go with 3CRCO (Rally Car Other) but would love to know what others have done.

Cheers

Neil.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.

      By Matt Z · Posted

      Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.
