I've been to maybe two or three wakefield speed off the streets days. Each time there wouldn't have been more than 20 cars. Only bad thing is if there are bikes or race cars, they get their own session which means less track time for everyone else. Also these could've been quiet days. Don't get me wrong, these track days look great and I would much prefer to go a track day and meet some fellow enthusiasts etc. but it is still double the price. Do they provide dorian timers in the price?

yeah timing is included in the price.

the speed off the streets days and the organised days are completely different. You'll be grouped with people of similiar speed and skills (or in my case, lack of), you have timing and when you go out for your 10-15 laps per session.... everyone makes the most of the time rather than f**king around all day.

stu - he'll need an AASA licence which is $50 per year. I tried to google WAkie licence and nothing came up on the wakie website so maybe it was abolished or something. Anyhowww

i didnt realise $200 was on the expensive side for a timed track day. its limited to 55 cars i think so should be plenty of track time you would think.

how many cars to the speed off the street meetings? i might look into a few of them.

i haven't seen a timed track day for aaaaaaages... I haven't even found the autosports track day calender... they're the other guys that do regular timed days.

Liz, Ive seen you drive, you make me look like Im in reverse.

And your mowing skills are known Australia wide.

XXX Mark.

cheers guys. lll let him know.

ill be bringing a mate down to finish tuning the car so will be taking it easy for a few sessions. i might let the officialdom know so they might put me in a slower group for those sessions.

my brother is going to drive his Focus. better than sharing a car. I put a new set of azenis on the front and some used yokis on the rear so it should steer ok.

hey stew - was your car at the power cruise? the 32 with a V8 and sidepipes in the skirts?

And Ben, I saw your cup car on you-tube for one of these wakefiled events. Was your quickest time a 1.16?

I am planning on attending this one as soon as Bel can confirm my gtr is good to go. If not, I will still be there but in a yellow dc2 itr.

yeh that was her, wanted to have a look around EC and it seemed like a good oportunity. beautiful track btw.

cant wait to have a crack around there.

in saying that i cant wait for wakie, probably only see the top of 4th down the straight but thats ok. EC was so fast. was already in 5th by the start of the grandstand.

Massive fan of your car Stu, i'm stoked you're coming to this day, can't wait to hear your car screaming down the straight!

You remember Sean with the white R33 at Powercruise, black roof? I'm his brother. Don't be alarmed if I appear in front of your car, i'm just rather keen to have a closer look :laugh::)

I'll be in the blue S13. See you there!

Stu, good news, you can finally chase my old blue rocket again in your yellow submarine :)

Leif is the new owner of the blue weapon of mass destruction :)

Well i'm off to the EC sprint on the 18th too, so no excuses about being rusty! Will have to think of another excuse before then...

I'm taking a mate out as a passenger at this Wakefield day too, so better be on my best beahviour. :)

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
