RE: that LeMons race get heaps of press lately...

Read the regs inc the fine print......

$880 per driver. Min 5 drivers. $4400.

Then they charge $75 per pit crew member, and $30 each for anyone else.

$1000 car that needs a professional cage, race seat, 6 point harness, fuel cell.....

Drivers must have 3 layer suits or single layer and underwear, Hans device and helmet.

Add basic maintenance stuff to the car, tyres, brakes, fuel, and whatever else, get there, stay there, and come home.

Not so cheap now

So probably paying like 2k each once you add all that up / mods etc (and the need to find 4 others that are willing to drop 2k on a shitbox rally basically)

2k would get you a decent sim racer for home :P

Edited by UNR33L

Add the fact no one will actually be racing in a car they bought for $500; impossible to prove any sale didn't occur for that

apparently its not a receipts thing, its a estimate value thing. like, even if you didnt pay for things, its value is determined (somehow)

Think I'd have more fun buying a good set of semis + pads and hitting up PI on a normal trackday.

Speaking of which, havent seen you at the track ever.... get out there with the e85 drag monster you keep talking about

Calder or Heathcote?

I really want to do PI but Haunted Hills doesn't look half bad either. When is the next of either (can't make SAU Vic June PI)?

Edit: scratch that, I don't want to bin my daily until GTR is on the road.

PI is Sunday June 14th (Also 13th, but we're not attending the untimed "testing" Saturday)... Check the Motorsport calendar in the VIC section for the other upcoming Championship Round days :yes:

I won't be attending this round anyway... Things escalated in the garage the other night

I come along with you to one of the other rounds

I really need a race seat though

Sunroof + 6'2 + helmet don't work with the stock seat

Got the opposite problem... Try driving a car that used to be owned by the tallest hipster I know, who put lowered seat rails in it, so I need to stretch to get my legs to push the clutch all the way down.

We swap cars?

If you had the stock rails you would be even further away from the firewall.

The problem is your legs

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
