January: do every race I can at Oran Park before it closes. Right now that is Irace on 14-15/1 and the final meet on 23-24/1. And give Neil a hand at the last state supersprint on 16/1.

March - Bathurst Sprint, Lake Mountain Sprint

November - National Supersprint in Qld (I thought it was QR, but maybe Morgan Park?). And whatever else I can do when I'm up there.

And as many rounds of NSW combined touring as I can

Santa bought me a new toy, looking to do as much as i can with it this year without going interstate

Australian Supersprint Championships are at Morgan Park, Nov 13-14.

Mick,,,seems you were a good boy last year,,,Santa has really looked after you. :D:D:D

Don't listen to the tin-tops,,,that thing is way cool. I swear before I'm too old to drive,,,my bums gonna be in a superkart,,,if only for a test. :banana:;):no:

Duncan,,,I booked the day off on friday for your irace,,,so you have me both days.

2010 plans for me are:-

1/ Get the Radical sorted properly

2/ Thrash the living shit out of it

3/ Do as many interstate stuff I can afford

4/ Start doing stuff in the Skyline,,,she's been wob-webbed for far too long

Neil.

With the Tas Super Series starting 14th Feb and my car looking like this with no money to rebuild........

Im guessing Round 3 in May is my best bet at this stage. I was looking to improve the car, not repair it!!

Im also thinking of droping a 351 into an XE falcon for some club days and then.......maybe!

But I have no money to do either at the moment so this year is not looking good.

mebbe....who has info on this??? why aren't we talking about it? I would prefer not to have to head to tassie to race. its expensive and the people there are scarey. like tim and ben

oh BTW my plans changed.

I killed my first motor for the year on the 16th day of it...new record.

At least I got to compete in the last race meet at Oran Park, and I set the fastest lap and was leading (until the motor blew lol)

Not sure if we'll be there or not. Would like to think so, as the roads around that area are fantastic and should suit the Evo 4 just nicely :thumbsup: and why arent we talking about it?!?!? :blush:

Other than that, will be at Targa for a crack at Rookie, a year on the dirt in the VCRS and the occasional trackday with the WRX club in Vic.

Tassie is still the shizz...just dont make eye contact with the locals.

Well done mate. Be proud.

I've got a perfectly good fully built low km long motor laying around if you are interested Dunc? I took my old motor out just before targa wrest point and put in a new one as we didnt have time to identify the problem (turns out it was just a cracked head so my old motor which had really just done Targa rookie and a couple of other little things is sitting around covered in plastic).

Oh - and I'm also planning to make High Country. I should hopefully have time back on my side by then!

If it turns out that way and you need a Nav, I know of a good lightweight one who would be available :thumbsup:

anyway i'm planning to put a last minuate entry in for rookie rally in the gtst. It'll be dependent on if the car is ready.

after that i'll run the running in the tas super series, and hopfully there will be some more invitational races

I just posted my hillclimb series registration.

And did a deal on a 180SX to transfer my gear into :D No more zip ties and tek screws! I guess the novelty factor of running a complet sh.tbox wore off...

well the first round of the hillclimb series is this weekend :D I only just got the new 180SX fired up for the first time on Saturday, and drove it for the first time yesterday, so I'll guess it will be another example of working till the wee hours of Friday night getting it ready. Its not exactly finished - ran out of time & money to get everything done, so to get it going in time for round 1 I had to swap back to the standard 4stud front hubs & brakes with borrowed wheels & tyres. Combine that with the suspension changes I made while swapping all the gear over from the old car and anything could happen this weekend! At least it will be out there to hopefully collect some points for the series. Looking forward to another run at Mt Cotton as I haven't been there since 2007 in the old Datto 1200.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
