question guys. i want to go to calder on the novem 6th drags to watch, will it be risky driving up in my skyline, will cops dik me?

probaly the same 'risk' as driving any other time but you bought it to drive it so worry about it when they pull ya up? :)

Well, do i have to fill out any form and reserve a place or can i just rock up there and pay and Drag!!

Simon, u could come with me but im from the NE..

U gotta be there about 5pm. Gotta get your car check and all that. Give me a buzz.

nah man you wont be too late. if you are running your car though u might. its gonna be packed as it is the first time since like feb calders been open for fri night drags. you will be lucky to get 2 runs i reckon.

I went, it was packed. 300 cars racing. We had to line up in the emergency lane of the freeway for about 20 mins. I only got one run in, a few mates got 2-3 runs. I ran a 14.4@103.

There was a few skylines there, white 32gtr with FULFLT plates, white 33 with WYTJET plates (i got your run on video if you want a copy). Few others.

muscle cars dominated the scene

but im a bit disappointed about the jap cars

i saw a maroon skyline 33 with no front bar, i was expecting a a good run...it was accelerating but didnt go anywhere at all???

must be the turbo curse

$65 bucks and one run? sounds worth it.........

did you get there early? i remember if you got there at 530 or something youd 'get 7-8 runs in before the line got huge and you'd be waiting 30-45mins for your last few..

The line was out on the highway from about 4.30pm onwards. we got there early as and still had to wait ages to get a run in. my mate got a total of 3 runs for the whole night. jessie can you send me the video of [wytjet] that was my mate. which run did u get though? his first or second one?

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
