Hey Mattman

Of course you can come to take some pics. HAHA and yes I know who you are :)

Did you want to come Neil? The Radical is welcome as it is really not an open wheeler ( no exposed wheels )

I instruct at the Radical days, so if you would like to come out and play you are most welcome to. Has it got a passenger seat so I can come for a ride ??

After todays effort my old "slow" GTR should be able to make it.

We didnt break anything to major, just needs some AWD back and a few new master cylinders.

Shame you missed today at wakefield John.

Was kinda an interesting day.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Got your PM's, but for some reason I have never been able to reply tp them :)

Still spots left. Ring the office monday-friday 9.00am-5.00pm (02) 9829 5399

Cost is per person, not per car.

Hope to see you next weekend :)

I would have loved to John but I need the car corner weighted and aligned which didn't happen last Saturday unfortunately.

Sorry no passenger seat in a Prosport mate. My steering wheel is pushed more to the left than an SR3.

Have a merry christmas John and don't work to hard.

Neil.

any good places to hire a trailer? ryde area or penrith area?

Buddy,,,hiring a trailer is a hit and miss affair,,,most of them are crap. No brakes,,no tie down points ect.

Good luck is all I can offer you,,,then again it's only at Oran Park so if you it take slow you should be alright.

Neil.

Oh Matt you where there :) I couldnt see you anywhere! wanted to say Hi :down:

Was funny seeing Luffy get into Frickers new Radical :) And that little BSM car was hilarious :laughing-smiley-014:

yeah that starlet looks tough!!!

what times was it doing?

The starlet was funny as!!! Not sure the times it was doing the thing was breaking traction all over the place :( Lofty was having a ball!

Yeah that starlet was damn quick, as you would expect from basically a full on race car setup...

It was a good day, my first track event ever and I was getting 55.8 (handtimed) on end of their life nangkangs, they were mushy by the end of each run... Damn I flogged them...

A great day had by all. Thankyou to those who turned up :banana: Lofty in the starlet was doing 47's. Not bad for a car that is only 1800cc, has a restictor on the turbo and had yokohama controlled semi's on all fours that were 3 years old. It was the cars very first run, so will be faster by the time it rolls out for its first race meeting in late January.

For those of you that don't know it is built to Improved Production Car regs ( IPRA )

Mattman, your photo's are awesome as usual :)

John, when the starlet is all sorted, xwhat times u think it can do? Cause that's flying already!!! And what motor is in it? So lofty not racing the 32 in 09?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
