And a HUGE thanks to all volunteers, from BBQ to merchandise to sign on (Tegan did great after Anna and Duncan had to stop), cones to timing to sceuitineering - the list could go on and on!

Thanks everyone, without your help these days can't happen

yeah I enjoyed once I figured out (last 2 runs) why the hell the car wasn't making any power at all ie. TCS was ON *facepalm* This is what happens when you drive a skyline with 2 hours of sleep night before..

On the first run I rode my clutch like crazy and smoke started coming out of it like mad ... I let it cool down but can still smell that stench. Doesn't seem to be slipping though. What's the chances it's gonna have permanent damage ? I rode that thing like a mofo trying to "wing it" on the first course..

it was a good day and im suprised the rain held out as long as it did. Huge thanks to the guy with the white 180, without his fathers help i dont think i would have got the battery secured and got out on the track.

Looking forward to pics and results.

so un new mx5 not so great as last one :) SO BOATY!!!!

time for new tyres and sway bars me thinks!!!! handles like shit (for an mx5... still beat some of you tho :))

thanks again to everyone that helped out..

i'd like to thank Doof, Mitch Moo, Spanna, Eric, Shell, Dave, Matt, Ben M, Mark, Steve-O, Reece, Tegan, Ben Sinclair, and anyone else who i may have forgotten (sorry) for all their help today in the timing, photos and just standing in the horrid rain to make this day possible.

I'd also liek to thank a few of the girlfriends who helped out.... sorry i dont your names, but it was very nice of you to help at sign on and with lunch :)

if i have forgotten to thank anyone please kick my arse about it :D

WOOO!!! BRING ON NEXT TEXI!!!

It was good to catch up with those I know and meeting those who you I didn't know before today. There were some pretty epic skids out there today! Nicely done people. I think the rain added a lil something extra in the afternoon too :)

Literally hundreds of more shots on the disc. PM Me or Talk to Pezhead if you haven't ordered one yet.

Love how straight this GTR is.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
