You won't even have to honk when driving down Oxford street now

What will I say to that cute guy when he sticks his head in my window and see's my blue door trims. They are next on the agenda sweety. If it makes you still want to love me Pete I'll stop there.

Cheers

Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical. I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again. Saturday night at Bathu

So it turns out that is indeed what happened, and as Mel is not taking up racing and nor is their only child Lizzy the Great Dane, I am tidying the car up for sale.   As far as I can tell it is p

Update time, I've actually finished installing the Radicals rear spoiler on to the Skyline, what a fun job on your own getting it exactly in the middle and correct front to back. At full adjusted heig

Roy seems to like them,,, nothing beats a bit of dribble.

If it weren't for Roy, I'd think you'd been playing with the camera and taking photos of RC car tyres :P

I hope these make it stick to the road better and lots more fasts!

Ha Ha yes I see what you mean.

That dribble is almost the width of a tyre so that makes it about 265mm long. That why everything in our house has either been slobered on or covered in dog hair. 2 Great Danes is double the mess.

So while the slicks are going to be great,,,I have another little problem. With all this shit weather we have been having and from all accounts we are about to get a whole heap more,,,what do I do about wet tyres.

Kempsey's round of the NSW hillclimb champs is on this weekend and they are predicting lots of rain. If they declare the track officially wet I won't be allowed out and it's a bloody long way to go for no fun. So I decided to buy some street tyres as my wets.

At a $100 bucks each I now own some shit tyres that will allow me to run.

Cheers

Got this email tonight,,,shit we are all packed and ready to go,,, what a bummer.

Hi all, due to the Severe weather warnings for the Mid north Coast, it is with regret Kempsey Sporting Car Club is cancelling round 5 of the NSW Hillclimb Championships at Mount Cooperabung. We apologise to anyone that has been inconvenienced by this decision but the committee feels it would be fool hardy to proceed with the event. For those of you that have payed for entry's via bank deposits, if you can get back to me with your account details we will make refunds asap. For those that have paid by Cheque they will be returned in the mail asap.

This decision has not been made lightly and again we are sorry for any inconvenience.

Maybe take some solace in the fact it's not the first event this year canned due to weather.

SE Queensland is also due for a few decent showers over the next few days.

Hopefully they might be able to pick up a date later in the year.

I want to find out how good those Avons are.

Yep I fully understand why they pulled the pin,,, big red blobs on the weather map says it's going to get ugly. It was a weird feeling last night and today un-packing and not spun a tyre in anger.

Truth be known we only entered this round to grab maximum points,,,(it always has low entrys) and for us a bit of a holiday in the country. I hope they don't get another date actually. I have no holidays left.

The next 2 rounds (Grafton & Tamworth) will give a good indication on the Avons.

Cheers

It looks like being very wet over the weekend and it would have taken more than the Toyo's to get some grip it that much water.

The best thing is Cheryl gets to play another day without risking damaging her due to a very wet track.

It just means that we have to wait 5 weeks until we get to see how good the Avon's really are.

Ah Charles,,,one should not be worried about some little problem like water falling from the sky.

We drive Skylines and they love slippery conditions.

I'd much prefer to be in Cheryl in the rain than almost anything else.

Cheers

You pimping her out to others now? Shame on you Neil :P

Ha Ha,,,yes everything in this world is for sale mate as you well know,,, someone just has to pay up. I would have bought the Purple GTR from Canberra but Mel hated the colour.

Sooner or later I will move on to something else.

Cheers

Neil.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
