Sure things, PM me your mobile number, incase it's changed.

Nah, I'm married, and not just to my car :)

I am probably a tragic. I admit it. I will definitely be considering (!!) tickets. Great to see Webber and the Red Bull Team here. That alone is worth the ticket. But ... .... .... .... ...

Bathurst revisited is Holden and Ford only. :(

The "super cars" are Porsche and Ferrari, with some 'Vettes and Cobras thrown in. I love the 'Vettes and Cobras but really they should be in historic or something! Unless it is a ZR1 'Vette. But then, if you are having a 'Vette, why not a GTR? :)

Eagles vs Dockers - probably in John Hughes supplied Hyundais. Could be fun, if I was interested in the Eagles or Dockers. Why not get the Perth Wildcats and the Western Force involved as well?

So far we seem to have the Holden/Ford Footy view of the world, with only the "super cars" they've heard of. No Astons or Bentleys? No Lambos? No SLK Mercs? Come on Barbagallo - you're not trying!

Racing Trucks are a gas! :)

Now then - Motoring Club Displays. Any chance we might get an SAUWA display? I couldn't see anything on the website to get in there. Or are they not recognising Jap Crap?

As I said, I am trying hard to be supportive of this initiative in Perth. son of rajab knows we need events like this. But why does it have to be put together by people with the least imagination? I really do not want to pay money to see the Docker vs Eagles in Hyundais and yet another Falcadore festival.

I have stopped buying Top Gear Australia magazine and gone back to the UK one, because the only cars the Aussie one talked about were the usual Falcadore crap. Give me a break!

Bah humbug. :bunny:

I too was a bit dissappointed with some of the support categories not being a bit more open, but I guess this is there first attempt, so they're sticking to whet they know will draw a crowd.

As for MotorClub displays, I belieev they selected a couple Clubs (Porsche and Ferrari), rather than open it up.

I think the only Jap Car representation will be in Street Cars and IPRA.

Yeah, Exactly on the money, first time event wanting become an annual show here in Perth.

We need to make this a success and not just stage another fuel flannel burning event.

Point of difference will be the class of cars i.e Price v HP v Skill on the track. Most people in Perth I imagine would never heard the sound of an F1 car.

Bonus, also we will have the show-ponies that we see around St Georges, put through their rubber wallets....\who doesn't want to see those cars plastered on the track rather than parked on the side of the road in front of some cafe......

Having had an opportunity to go to F1 GP, I must say , F1 car overlapping the V8 Touring car vs Street Machine vs day2dy sport coupe is really an awesome demonstration.

oh, and the F1 car doing a burnout is something all together different and exciting :P

This promises to be a show........with wings !!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
