is there anyone in Sydney who hire out nice cars for the day/weekend.. that i could take to the track?? probably against their will??

An evo? lotus or whatever?? i've seen the later for around 500 a day with 5k deposit.

I've rented an mx5 and a s2000 for track days but in both cases that was a normal road car hire that I just took the liberty with...

Better idea is dedicated race car leases, Kel has used race car rentals before for their suzukis (the old single make ones), one of the blokes I race with has a couple of the old daewoos for rent too. Or you can go right up to porsche if you have the budget - in fact I bet there are a whole grid of them for lease at the moment.

:sweat: hey that's from years ago when I did the 2 phillip island sprints in the rent a car. I got though a whole set of rear pads, drove back to melbourne metal on metal and said to the bloke "I think it might need new brake pads". He said nah no way are they gone yet. lol. Also I won the under 2l class both days :)

And the mx5 was funny too. I rented it to get my race license (so Kel could drive the gtst). It was an absolute POS, braking was terrible. I was coming last in all the braking exercises so Pete Findlay decided to use it for the demo to show me how to do it properly.......yes he had the same problem and went 1.5m further than me :P

Hertz hire out Cooper S and 86 Toyotas. both auto, and neither would set too many lap records, but both would be great fun on a race track. Even an SV6 would be reasonable around a track.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
