If people get negative about all this burnout stuff in the northern suburbs, They need to understand where else can you go these day's. They shut down Calder park because of health and safety. The government need to get more involved with car event's and the venues they hold them at. I am sure Bob Jane has closed Calder until November because of funds, I bet if he had more support it would open up faster. Myself goes to a lot of car events and to this illegal drags because that's all there is at the moment, plus it is great to watch the crowd get excited when some one pop's there tyres. So if the goverment doesnt help out where else do they expect people to go, Look at drifting here in australia they need more support aswell.

But they dont say this point's in the paper or on the new's they just show people who say dumb things.

SO GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CAR CLUB.

You are beating the dead horse, mate.

However, vis a vis attending these events? Well, you're apparent civil disobedience not withstanding, they are dangerous and illegal for a reason.

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. You don't stick your cock in the glass and call it lemonade.

"SO GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CAR CLUB."

How is a group of dickheads breaking dozens of laws and endangering lives a 'car club'? Its that type of 'theres no where else' attitude that leads to these problems. There are plenty of places. Talk to your Council. I live in Ballarat, and we have an airport that is reasonable and open to allowing people access to isolated parts of their land and runway. There is the Ballarat Light Car Club, which is incredibly cheap and has an autocross track, and which participates in hillclimb events and track days. etc.

no where else my freeking ass.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
