Ok, I'll be waiting for you at Lakeside next saturday.

Hell no, that place is where nice cars go to die.... I refuse to put my car on that track.

But I ripped straight past you around the turns at QR.

Ill fix my battery clamp, then bring it on (for the first two laps then im unable to stop the car lol)

This particular ls1 can corner :P

Yeh I got your back Nick ;) lol

It can corner. Cornered very well after fitting the coilovers. But was a little drunk at the time also.

I don't have your back but captain. Tom is doing a great job of being all over it ;)

Chris, I might have to check out this clay bar of yours that you mentioned.....was just checking out some youtube vids, never used one before.

Its good shit mate. You can borrow mine if you want

Yeh I wouldn't mind trying it out out on a little patch - I take it that you have to use it with a form of liquid polish as a lubricant?

You would be correct sir. I have a detailing spray to use with the clay bar

Nice! Did I ever end up showing you the dents in my bonnet?I dare say that I'm gonna have to get the whole bonnet fixed and resprayed at some stage...it doesn't look like it from a distance but it has at least 5 decent hail stone dents in it and some pretty bad stone chips on the leading edge above the grill =/

Lubricant spray for clay bar? Sawft! Mix some car wash and water in a spray bottle and that will do. ;). Just needs to be a slippery solution.

Yeh it's a type of polishing compound with a wax mixed in...may as well polish/wax it while you're scrubbing away

that's the way we do it at work. The detailing spray came as part of the clay bar kit I purchased, otherwise I would be using car wash

Yeah you have shown me the dents on the bonnet. I'll give you a quick quote now to fix it all. Thousands

Clay strips off all wax and polish. You're essentially waxing and then ripping the wax straight off. Clay takes it back to pure paint.

You are correct sir

    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?
