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

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
