Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone is keen to run their car or come up for a look.

Supra Club is heading up so there should be a fair bit of jap cars to see run.

Whoever is interested, we could all set a meet up location and cruise up together.

Yer i know, my pays gone backwards :/

I'd not have an issue paying $60 @ Heathcote if it was properly prepped.

Tis a long way to go for a unprepped track that's running the same surface as it was laid 30 odd years ago.

Not HC are charging $60 - Calder is suddenly reasonably priced and you get a prepped track in good condition... Not the best, but the best in the state lol.

Oh look Heathcote has it's place. Not saying it's bad dude.

I've raced there more than I've raced @ Calder over the years :) and it was good value under the old owners.

I remember Paul has like 25 or 30 runs on SAU Drag Day we had up there - that was surely worth some sorta prize.

what about the weather? suppose to be raining

It's like DECA... When they forecast rain - it never actually does :D

I've been to HCote maybe 5 times when its raining in Melb, and for 40mins of the drive.

Get to the track and it's dry and ready for racing!

Oh you were the guy with the s15? Hope it isn't too bad :s

I was actually surprised at mine didn't have any problems and was very consistent in the 12s slowest was a 13.1 but had issues often with speed limited.

By 3pm I was just doing back to back runs :D

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
