Well I missed today due to not having any insurance :( I thought they would be do Just Cars not do auto renewals?

Auto renewal without any input from you? even though they can adjust your policy with anything that like at renewal time? no thanks jeff...

With the last insurance company I was with (AAMI) it would just click over and the policy would just keep going year after year and it was never adjusted it at all. Guess its my bad thinking Just Cars would do the same :P Oh well ring them on Monday!

hey guys, yeah it was a great day. I really loved the cars setup and was having loads of fun throwing it around. got down to 1.55 in the last session. Just went one lap too many with tyres that were a little bit jelly like..............my bad.

the cams guy was laughing saying he has never seen anyone go off "that edge at Honda".........

car is at RPM getting TLC again.....waiting on the diagnosis.... hopefully not too bad.

cant wait to get out there again. Will be more respectful of tyre condition when power drifting next time.......

will post some photos soon....

Another vote for AD08's. My car has no power and weighed in at ~1265kg with full tank/no driver on the scales at PI but the tyres have been brilliant. Best I've used on any car. If I had to complain, they're a bit noisy on average country roads but then the car is also a tin can with no sound deadening. They even did ok in the rain at PI though I was too chicken to push that hard.

Have done 10 track days from memory and about 15k on the street, they're still going. Some of the days were 20 min sessions and I just belt them from start to finish without issue. Again, serious lack of power is probably a significant factor there.

I counted the laps from Natsoft which didn't include SAU NATS Mallala or Hillclimb days, nor 1 or 2 DECA's.

PI - 155 laps
Sandown - 18 laps
Calder - 37 laps
Winton - 27 laps
So yeah, they might cost $50 or even $100 a tyre more than something else but its well worth it. Tyres and brakes are the last thing you should skimp on IMO.

I use the plastic ones from supercheap. No issues with E85 over the last year.

Yeah I have a 20L plastic one. Sometime can leak if not 100% upright, but my whole car stinks like petrol when I put it behind the driver seat

Check the filler necks, quite often the top lip where the rubber seal sits isn't flat or true to the threads, I have found that giving them a quick going over with a sharp blade and taking away the high point and burrs makes a big difference to leaks and fumes.

same issue with my 2 plastic cans

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
