Just wanted to thank everyone who organised this event, and everyone who showed up. Had an awesome day! By the last session I ran in I'd done that many laps I ended up coming in a lap before the checkered flag was shown because I decided I'd had enough haha.

Eric, thanks for taking the time to post up that video, great coverage of most cars. Just glad when you had the cam on me (7:28) I hit the apex - phew:P

I was sure if I came off the track enough times at last I'd get 1 photo or video shot :O. Silver skylines never seem to attract the photos.

Took a few hours to edit and unfortunately lost a lost of quality in the recompress for youtube. Original is in 1080 HD.

Mighty effort Eric!

I was so glad to see nearly a full half minute of your car continuously too!

I'd hate to see you miss out on your own glory!

Who video'd you? That camera wk was good too btw...

Great vid Eric!

Well I just discovered a mobile phone in my car... and a watch in my handbag... so i scored well :P

haha nah I know the watch is Reece's - but if any of mine or Matt's passengers is missing a Nokia N71, lemme know!

OMG.... finished the pictures, just over 950 shots

Heres a celebratory pic! :P

Look for the person who has a phone nber called mum and ring it!

It's not moniques, and Duncs and Neil so far haven't claimed to have lost it, so check through your passenger list... :)

Specs on the car can be found on www.the-lowdown.com tomorrow night under 'Pages' then 'Builds'.

Looking forward to seeing the build. There was only 2 cars that went past me when 1 & 2 combined and yours was by far the fastest. Great looking car as well.

I do love the video posted that shows the sole time I overtook you though :(

I got confused and thought it was an off road driver training day :(

There were many many more that I'm sure Pezhead would have of me in the grass

Sorry for the late Thanks but here goes

Thanks to everyone who organised the day, especially Ando.

Thanks to all the people that helped out on the day as these things can't go ahead unless people sacrifice their day so thanks.

Thanks to Anna for being a great passenger and letting me experience some power on track, although those brakes didn't let me have a good attempt at times, I hope I did you proud anyway

And thanks for all of the Drivers and passengers that had fun and will do it again, cause it wouldn't be any fun if I couldn't scare some big power skylines in my Clio if you guys didn't rock up (and to all the guys who put me in place to)

Special Note to SpoonDC5, breaking 10's is motoring in an Evo or GTR, let alone in a FWD honda and also to the Evo driver that got 1.06.6 as I think that was fastest car of the Day, both of you put us Skyline owners in our place.

Good work to A20089, I'm glad to hear that my jabbering actually helped you in getting your PB. I was catching around the top but as soon as you could stretch your legs you got me.

I was pretty happy with my 1.13 but next time I'm going to try and crack into the 12's without mods hopefully and then I will pull some tricks out to keep the Honda boy's honest

Hope to see everyone at Texi, Revenge of the Clio's Reverse Gear

Please don't come to the next one....

I will have to spend money in order to keep up with a silly little french hatchback that just left the showroom... grrr

Haha, J/K, that's a damn quick car and you drove it awesomely. Were you driving for the epic FWD save coming out of the fish hook on one of the slow down laps? Hilarious!

Well, good news folks. I have Tenchi's photos, but there are so many it's going to take 2 DVD's! Yes, over 8 gigs of photos!

I'm going to be a burning fool this weekend. Will try to get them out as quick as possible.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
