Nige won't be running but there is a 50/50 chance of my car heading out.

We won't know until Friday arvo as I'm waiting for some new head bolts and studs to arrive.

I will keep you informed. Check the forums Sat night or Sunday morning as weather also plays a big factor in this. Don't wanna head up for racing be stuck in the carpark doing FA.

As Ash has said (coz I told him :() I will be running on the weekend if the weather holds out and isn't gonna rain at all on Sunday.

Even a slightly wet track in the morning won't dry fully till the afternoon and I don't travel to Heathcote to sit around and watch rain dry.

Currently according to the BOM, today and Sat were looking like scattered showers and then fining up. If it doesn't fine up by late Sat arvo, we prob won't go.

I will check BOM again tomorrow afternoon and check the radar and then give a post in the evening around 8ish.

SLYSX, yes I am still running standard GTR shafts :( They may break, they may hold. I'm a strong believer in that it is as strong as the driver. If you're gentle on them, they should be fine.

Dumping a clutch at 8000rpm with as much power as my car will put out isn't a good idea, standard driveline or otherwise.

As for passenger runs, if we get a time we're satisfied with, there maybe some space for a couple passenger runs but you gotta take a number coz there are plenty of people queuing up before you mate. Sorry. People have been asking me for a ride since the last time we were out and I have promised some people rides as long as the target time is achieved.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
