Ok - thought I'd put this in a new thread just to grap all of you interested parties attention.

Just recieved an email from Chris (event co-ordinator) that there has been some cancellations and they now have room for 8 more people to the HSV Day at Phillip Island on Sept 19th.

You guys still interested? I have to fax him the details of everyone that wants to participate by Friday morning.

Also - just to throw a spanner in the works - that weekend at Winton they are having an open weekend. The Saturday will be like the usual Fridays ($100 with 30min sessions between cars and bikes) and the Sunday will be another $20 Fun Day. No CAMS license required for anyone that wants to go to these days at Winton but you will need a helmet.

I'm keen to hit Philip Island, but I need to have front and rear anti-roll swaybars fitted and new semi-comp rubber =/ I've been spending too much money recently.. If the car isn't ready at the level I want it in time, I may go up to winton on Sunday for the fun day since I missed out on the last one.

Rubbish :D You dont NEED new sway-bars, you have them std. You dont NEED semi comp rubber. Sure it would be nice to have them, but if you wait until everything is perfect onn your car, you will never, ever make it out there. Hell id be there if my car had an engine in it :Oops: ...even though i have a shopping list as long as my arm of things i want, as opposed to need.

You NEED to get out there and give it a flogg'n :( Std, tweaked or heavily modified it dont matter :headspin:

That's good advice, and you're absolutely right :D

I'll see how things go... I definately want to get out on the track in the 34. But judging from my cars handling on fast corners, I'd like to get my whiteline adjustable swaybars fitted.. also need new race pads & fluid.

No way boy racer, Your car will be fine. I was eating other cars out there so trust me when I say your car is fine. If you've got any questions let me know.

EDIT : I also had stock pads and fluid.

You can get rb74 front, comp 2 rear pads and motul dot 5.1 fluid from racebrakes for just over $300 bucks. Mine are getting installed tomorrow by mate

Is that price from racebrakes directly? I'm also considering Formula Ferrodo pads for the front, they dont squeal as much as the Ferrodo 3000.

Yes, when you go there say were were quotes $145 for the front pair and $132 for the comp 2's. I think ferrodo pads need to be warmed up a fair bit before they start to work, not fun on winter mornings driving to work.

The best ferodo comprimise pad is the ferodo 2500's. They are the stock pads on cars like the AMG mercs. Great track pad for your usual "sprint" sessions but may start to fade if you do an extended 8+ laps in one session.

The 3000 are farken noisey. But god damn they work good! :D

So far for the HSV day I have confirmed:

Snowman

Emre

Duncan

Skylinegeoff

Attached is the sup regs. I will bring some tonight in case - but I have to have these faxed off by tomorrow morning.

I might try to make this aswell since i'm there anyway. Would have actually prefered to do the HSV day rather than the MSCA. Dunno if I can afford both. Are you doing both Andrew?

When is the closing date they speak of? Is it going to be $110 or $200???

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
