see if i can get off my ass and get the car back together, tune and all that stuff i will be in :P

Ill take that as you wont be coming hahahaha

In regards to yellow stickers....in my experience it will be ok as these driver training days are self scrutineered. However, if one of the instructors/staff see something that is a safety issue (steel hanging out of tyres, excessive oil leaks, seat belt held together with zip ties/safety pins) then they will exclude you from going on the track. I dont believe they will give a shit that your car has adjustable suspension that may not meet ADR.

Having said this, this is not a guarantee.

Having got another play-thing while my engine is being re-built, I will give it a go.

It's a GTI-R!

Not sure how the trapped nerve in my neck will respond to wearing a helmet, but that's another story! (I have not been having a good time the last few months!!!)

Cheers. :P

GTi-R & the mx5 can go head to head, right Keith?

Sure, sounds like fun...just waiting for the new combo to arrive and Brad install a few bits. This thing is supposed to be my daily while I'm stuck in the office but I can see it becoming a bit more as things progress :)

Seriously, the gear knob came off in my hand last time I drove it and the steering wheel isn't even round lol

Sounds like we will be well matched - my gearknob is held on by blue electrical tape!!

Hmm ... .. .. .. must see if I can get a Nismo knob somewhere. That should add 30 hp by itself!

:)

I will be away until maybe Wednesday so wont be checking on the thread or replying to PM's until i get back so pleae dont think im ignoring you.

If you have an urgent question about entry/payments, talk to Dan.

Urgent questions about the rules etc for the track day, talk to Paul.

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :cheers:

haha pretty sure there would be plenty of people to gush over him and etc

will try to make the treck for a catchup as cherrired is still in the shed due to shifter issues and time constraints

I'll ask her, but we can't both drive, as then no-one would be there to look after Marcus :P

Nah i've done it that many times now i've lost interest. I'll find something for me and him to do that day. >_<

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
