wow those pics prove that work has been going on at AIR

how did you get hold of those pics James....hopefully AIR can open up sometime soon

would be good to know my quarter mile times etc etc

Yeah a little bit of work has been done, return road is blue metal waiting for spray coat sealer. Track hasn't actually been re-surfaced yet, those light coloured patches are down the end of the track.

And i cant reveal my sources :D

:banana::bunny: !!! Its about time we get it back !!! :bunny::banana:

Now lets hope cops dont wait for us to leave after events to defect us (just like at Lala :rant: )

Thats the thing i hated. You go there to have "fun" legaly, but when you leave the cops defect you.

well if your car is defectable, then that is the risk you take.

Spot on Damo....if your car is defectable then take the plates off and tow it down there mate....i am going to take my car to lala and i am atm thinking of taking a trailer with me as well just in case for the worst scenario

you wont have a problem with getting defected at a grip day krish, normally just drift days when the cops show up. probably still a good idea to tow it just incase anything *taps wood* fails out on the track.

Yeah Chad is right, a 1/4 mile strip equal 1/2-3/4 mile once you factor in run off area and stagging area. heard from a really reliable source with links to the EPA that AIR is pretty much a no go, mainly due to Mr. Jane buying contaminated fill to build the mounds. Yep still full of asbestos!

But its great to see everyone raising some great and valid point in here. And thanks Peter, just thought it would help take the heat of you and Andrew after the last few days.

What about this though?

Still what im hearing from a couple of sources, explains why work on the track hasn't been finished. Would cost millions to de-contaminate the site, i know there was a small clean up done just after the mounds were built, for exactly the same reason.

imo until AIR changes hands i think its dead and buried it has been closed for over 8 years now. how many times have we been told its due to be opened? no point in even talking about it anymore. its either a new motorsport complex (fingers crossed) or its nothing.

    • 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.
