lol, I think about all 3 of you when I'm in bed. :3some:

on a serious note, how tall are you Dane? we both have a small advantage in that we have long put ourselves in spaces where we shouldn't fit having been japanese car fans for years. most people would tell you that you can't drive a 180 or that I can't drive a S13 but I manage. in fact my S13 still has the same seat in it that Cat Coleiro used when she owned it and you know how tiny she is next to me.

As far as the exige goes I was fine in it. It was a bit "intimate" when both troy and I were in at the same time, and I wouldn't want to have to get out of it if the thing was on fire but once inside I was happy. headroom surprisingly not an issue. knee room would be my only concern for you.

I haven't been in a caterham but if I can drive ruseel ingalls old formula ford (I can and have) I reckon I can drive some pommy lotus 7 copy no trouble.

or we can do it brisby style and buy a car? I could be easily talked into an E36 M3 purchase (cheap as dirt) and do Spa, Ring and maybe silverstone or zandvoort too?

You will fit Caterhams fine, ditto Lotus. You may not be comfortable, but its like banging a hot girl in a kinky position when you are getting cramps on the "hammy"...somehow you manage to battle on

That's So fhhhhucked. You get that too!

Ever dribble on her face accidently at your moment of high enjoyment?

They normally make me wear a bag on my head, so that captures any dribble (...still counts!)

he says it like a joke but it's true. that's how I spot him in a crowd. look for the bloke with the paper bag hanging at the ready out of his back pocket "just in case"....

and as if push on. if I get a cramp I just whine and lie in the foetal position quietly swearing for a few mins till I'm good to go. it still counts as love making right?

I'm 6'4 Baron. Comfortable for me (and you most likely) is different to most peoples idea of comfortable. If I fit with a helmet on and can splay my legs far enough to get the wheel in between them then I feel as if I'm in a Bentley baby! I can squeeze myself into an FD, but the wheel is a little low. Figure it would probably be the same with an Exige.

The Caterham videos that Troy and Snowy put up at Spa looked like outrageous fun so I'd love to give one of them a go for a day, but the whole buying a car and driving to multiple tracks would be too cool. I'm with you all the way on the E36 too :thumbsup: The only spanner in the works is that my girlfriend may kill me if I head to Europe with the boys again, so will need to work out some holiday plans with her first!

Smooth. I figure if I can squeeze myself into RX3's and 7's then I can probably get into an Exige or Caterham, but don't want to be rudely surprised if I don't and have booked one for a day.

yep, you are spot on. the only hurdle really is the non-adjustable steering column but they have tiny steering wheels which helps. at 6"4 you'll be fine. I'm 6"2 so bugger all difference.

dude, just ship her off with my girlfriend. let them do whatever the fk it is girls do. caterham would be awesome, but availability at spa etc needs to be checked in advance.

trust me, once you've paid the exorbitant hire fee for the day you WILL fit even if you have sit on the roof and steer with your feet!!! while ron was trying to talk us into their brand new GT3 porsche (and we were crumbling) we looked at the lotus and troy and ron said to me, do you want to sit in one to make sure you'll fit for spa next week. I just said. don't worry I'll fit. if not, just cut my legs off at the knee!

We'll send them off in the direction of the nearest shoe store with a credit card (a maxed one... :whistling: ) and maybe we can get some peace... or an M3 to thrash the panties off!

Much the same as when I hired the Radical for the first time. I was sick, and it was raining all day but by God after forking out for the hire, flights and accomodation I was getting in that car! I like the idea of the Megane R26R around the 'ring, would be a hoot me thinks.

But buying and selling a car would be even better. I have family in England that could palm it off if I didn't have time to... hmmmmmm

I am pretty wrecked from a MEGA days driving. Will start a new thread in a day or two when I am nursing a hangover one morning in a hotel...but in the meantime. Check out the road in the background. Switzerland, Itlay and Austrian Alps all in one day. It was cool!

awesome! Reminds me of watching the Tour de France through the Pyrenees and Alps stages and thinking how much better it would be if the riders had to start at 30sec intervals and had cars instead of bikes...

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
