tehepicfail128586045504972936.jpg

No, I don't think this pic is old quite yet :(

lol.. I absolutely love that shot of my car!! I need it made into a signature!!

Alrighty I have just paid for one entry (my bank is weird so might take a couple of days to come through), il have to wait a couple of days to see if Dave can enter too... but more than likely he will. Both be in my line, so different groups please

NO idea which group as its been a while... will be on semis not slicks though ... I ran a 54 in the 200ZR last time out on south but that car was so busted with no brakes!! Pop me into whatever group, Im probably slower these days :) .... Dave hasn't driven OP at all (I am surprised!) but I am sure he will be faster than me but maybe not at first!!

how's the first timer group looking?, I'm 50/50 right now on attending :(

I'm gonna need new tyres soon so hey, maybe get them replaced before the event?

brake pads/fluid

anything else I need to consider?

hey yoyo, unless the tyres are rooted just hold on. they will be even rooteder after the day, and you dont want to smash a brand new set of road tyres on the track.

most people who have been bitted by the bug end up buying seperate rims because semi-slick tyres last longer, are cheaper (per day) and perform much better.

definately bleed the brakes with good fluid like motul rbf600 (or get someone to do it), and replace the pads if they are under 50%, you will put plenty of wear on them if you are giving it a bit (and judging by how you drove at texi I think you will....)

thanks for the advice duncan, believe me it's not a case of not sure about attending, I'll be the first one there lol just I REALLY should be spending this money on my house deposit :D on the other hand, it's gonna be my first and last chance for OP so why not?

my brake pads are still good, just probably want to replace them afterwards for peace of mind is all

tyres...my fronts are almost gone, i'd say 50% tread on outside edge for my fronts, will that pass for the day? rear tyres are still good

other than that my swaybars and springs are on and my exhaust will arrive before then, all I can say is I wish they came before texi :)

I've been doing some research on preparation for club events. Here is a "check list" I found from the BMW Club of Qld. Looks pretty good.

cheers eric

fark it count me in I guess, depends on a few things...

I'll take pics of my front tyres and you can tell me if I can run them for the day, cause believe me once you see them they're not gonna last for much longer after that

so my plan is to run out what's left of the stock tyres on the day then just get the tyres replaced after that...

so not looking to set any competitive times, just enjoy the track before it closes and have some fun :D

plus I have some leather driving shoes that I can use, but I doubt they are fireproof, will they be okay?

    • 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!
