By the looks of the video footage I have seen, it was more of a powercruise cruise session rather than happylaps. Looked like quite a few were just trying to line people up to race them down the straights. Also saw people overtaking in corners and going 3 wide on the straights too, no way in hell will I be taking my car out on track with others being as stupid as that.

I was guilty of the power cruise line ups as I didn't realise this was a no no, but more to the point as my battery clamp shit itself was about all I could do for fun as if I cornered hard it would fall out. If this has pissed anyone off I'm truly sorry

Who would been keen for karting at Kingston in a couple of weeks time? I got a rally experience voucher from the boss for Christmas but am too tall to fit into the cars. However I am able to swap the rally voucher for karting ones at Kinston

Definitely keen for this :)

Lining people up is ok as long as you are sensible about it and don't hold up everyone else.

The celica with the hella locked diff? Slow cars aren't a problem as long as they stick right out of the way on the straights.

Haha yep the silver celica with tons of camber. He owns that cammed up ls1 in a silvia... If he can behave himself ill invite him out for the next one :thumbsup:

When I'm at QR I drive fast. I don't pay $50 to cruise around at 60...I can do that in Toowoomba :) And when ya have 20 people driving fast there's bound to be overtaking and people a couple a breast at some stage. That's what we go to QR for....to let of some steam and have some fun.

There's nothing stupid about it.

Now harden the F up. Argh!

And for the record Chris, the most dangerous part of a happy laps session is the driving through tooowoomba part ;)

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

As far as the laps were concerned I never felt endangered at any point, I braked long before the corners so I new I wasn't going to plough into people and i Kents the sideways action to a minimum and new where everyone was around me... Great fun :)

Yeh lol I still reckon you're lucky it didn't all come undone and need a tow back in :P

Yeh same here - like I said, it was the best happy laps ever! The last one I spun out at....and at the top gear sprints I pushed her too hard too, but this time round things were freaking awesome. Couple fast laps....couple normal ones....keen for the next 1

Last hap lap I did Martin shot past me at 175 whilst I was in my wagon.

Bit of common sense prevails on these things. I may bring the 31 out to one at some point but once the 32 is complete it won't be going anywhere near a racetrack. So there are two of us that feel that way.

Already in. Just as long as I'm not interstate or Nat gives birth early...

My bro and I would probably be up for it Chris....

Gents, I've been to Kingston - those carts are pretty decent and it's all outdoors...plus, you get to upgrade to their really fast carts (twin motor) if you run good enough times.

So much awesome.

BTW Chris, you missed out on a farkin very happy, happy laps :) It made me quite happy indeed lol...if you don't come to the next one you'll be dead to me. :)

It was a three thumbs up Happy Laps.

Come down next time and you can ride shot gun. Or steer, if I'm feeling generous.

As long at his 4wd dosent kick in he'll be fine lol

I hate it when that happens.... Or when you compression lock 2nd.

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

BOOM! Self ownage!

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
