lol of course! They must be stoked to have taken a win in the car's first run, but I am sure they are disappointed that Garth's car died mid lap so they will never know how quick it would have been.

Congrats to all the competitors and Hi Octane, it looked likea great crowd and great day.

Awesome day guys, and congrats Mark and Russ.

I'm spewing there's so much crap in the way on this pic but still my fav of the day.

:(

Great pic!

Was a great day, some awsome cars. Wasnt as many spectators as i thought there would have been. And thanks (sorry i dont know you name) to the guy with a sau shirt on for letting me park down towards the pit area.

In the morning? That was me. No probs

Roy: Russman seemed fine all day, looks like he and the other Vic guys had a good time

Was the Vic Supra all noise liek usual or have they finally got that thing working?

Oh, and how did Markov go in his cleaner then clean white R32 GTR

Do you mean "SUPRAT" the red JZA80?

It looked to be kicking ass. Would love to know more about the specs on the turbo side and whats done to the gearbox (sounds straight cut?!)

Early in the day 2 SAUNSW members hand timed it at 1.19 (from memory)

Dont know about Markov's GTR, but its almost too clean for a track car. Wasnt slow though

Yeah I would love to point to the results webpage but its still got last years results :(

Sam M did OK he was somewhere between 5th and 10th overall. The car looks brilliant but maybe a little more time around the track there is needed?

Was the "vic supra' red? It was loud but I don't think it featured overall.

John's Zed came home 5th I think, and 2nd in the shootout.

The Elise that John B was driving came home first or second in open too.

Unfortunately the BSM GTR didn't get fixed in time but I'm sure it will be back next year and very quick once it is sorted in the new spec.

There were some good results too from left field like the IPRA Rx7 that came home 2nd in open.

Not sure where the black GTST came. In fact I noticed a couple of skylines there that I didn't know but didn't get to talk to everyone. I hope they ran OK today....

Sorry if I get the places wrong its all from memory.

There were some good results too from left field like the IPRA Rx7 that came home 2nd in open.

If left field involves a state champ, driver of the year and national runner up. Still a 230hp NA bridgey with a normal diff and gearbox is awesome.

The red s2k?

The Nismo radiator cap decided it didnt like sitting in a VTEC engine bay YO!!!!

No seriously looked like a Nismo radiator cap gave way and spurted coolant everywhere...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
