aim to get there @ 5.30 for scrutineering etc.

and you'll be out racing by 6-6.30pm.. all depending on the track.

that way you get a few quiet runs in (if the track is good) before everyone else gets there so you can have a good 3-5 runs in very quick succsession quite easily

nah, you'll still get runs, just not as frequent as if you were there early.

Also, around 7pm the big V8's get out with no exhausts and if your trying to practice it can be hard to hear your car with your helemt, let alone a thundering V8 next to ya.

thats why i go at 6pm, just to have a few quiet runs on my own without charg'd 8's gonig crazy

Hey Simon,

Ash is right, the earlier you get there the better, you get more runs in and have a much better chance running your mates...

Then again due to the weather, not many people attend, so either way you'll get quite a few runs in..... thats if it doesn't get cancelled from bad weather....

Good Luck!!!!

Thanks fella's. Hopefully it doesn't.

My mate with the Sti has just finished some major mods, and is warning us that he's going to whip the GTR?? :P .. But should be fun to see what the Benz does, another guy we know ran around a flat 12 with a chip upgrade and supercharged pulley kit.

Thanks Kev.. I think the only concern we have is how to get it off the line, "with or without the ESP" If the ESP is Off, forget it the thing will just sit there spinning. Maybe you want to run it for us?? :P

Rigga - It is stock.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
