should i take it personally that there are no pics of my car or is it a Chevy thing? :P

It is amazing what a ride in a Mazda can do to you - just look at the attached pictures of Chris (evil_weevil). :laugh:

The first shot is leaving the pits and Chris is looking very relaxed.

The next shot has Clinton looking for his breaking point at the side of the track and Chris has a concerned look on his face - you going to think about breaking soon or what????

I was think the same thing (except for the whole Chevy thing) but then remembered Matt was in our group :-)

still though a couple of snaps with the arm out the window would've done.

Yep, Bobbeh got it, I would have taken photos of your car if it where in a different session to me :P

Besides, I wouldn't take the camera in the car around the track, it doesn't do video and it weighs heaps! :P

IMO, my favourite photo taken on the day Linky McLink Link

haha, now we're talking Matt!

what a sexy beast, not quite as good looking as the owner but sexy nontheless :)

Actually mate thats probably the best pic i have of my car. Thanks!

Awesome photos cassbo champ!!! I have to say your photography is bloody excellent BUT has me scratching my head as to what the feck my wing is doing under heavy downforce load!!! It looks to be warping on the passanger side, or generating a higher downforce on that side..???!?!?!?! NFI!!

Ando - I would say that the passenger's side of the wing is working correctly and that the camers is desturbing the flow of air on the driver's so it is not generating near as much down force.

Charles,

hahahaha that is funny stuff!!!!

As much fun as it is going out showing people bad habbits, I still get a bit nervous when Im not in the drivers seat! brake.....braking yet?? :P

Must say though Clinton did great out there! If he tweaked the suspension a bit, you'll be surprised much better it'll go!

Ando - the boot looks like it has alot of pressure on it (looking at the lines on boot to rear panels)

Thanks guys :)

To tell the truth I got a couple of people I know who have been into photography longer than me (2 months lol) to pick apart my photos and tell me how they can be better. Lets just say with some changes in the settings and some experience we should hopefully see a bit of an increase in quality :P

Just out of curiosity guys, i want to know - some of those cars seemed super quick down the straight... what speeds were being clocked?

I think in the beginner class I clocked out at around 190km/h a few times according to speedo... I reckon the others in group 1 and 2 were going hell quicker though!

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
