Personally I don't

Brand spankers - $4000 without rubber. If you can locate newies.

Every so often they will do a run if the numbers are there.

I bought my 18 x 9.5 +12's for $4k last year.

Ones above have been resprayed.

You would need to see each one to check for gutter rash

no longer have the original Nismo stickers

the front one looks concave and the one in the back looks different (maybe optical illusion)

I think you can do better.

There was a silvers set up for sale recently that I believe is cheaper (if not sold). To suit GTT offset

how f**king poorly do your gutters deal with a bit of rain? Lakes everywhere tonight!

Probly a combo of not much rain lately (so not soaking in well yet) and all the leaves having fallen off and blocking things up.

I went through a puddle this arvo that would've been a good 15 meters long, trying to drag me into the gutter. (left side only).

Fight it and floor it. :D

So, I have been invited by family to attend a "track day". To bring our cars out and "race" them around the track. Now, since this is a invite I can reject or decline - my main concerns are if I bring my car to the track I risk blowing something (Rosie is my daily). Once you see the line up - you'll soon discover an easy option for "you got no chance", however, since it's family it's more a fun thing and bringing the performance cars out in the family. Once you see the line up - you'll know I'm the baby out of the 4.

So the lineup for the day:

Uncle #1 Holden Monaro CV8-Z

His son; cousin - RX7 - Bathurst addition.

Uncle #2 Porsche 911 Turbo.

So yeah, no chance at all for me to even compete but I'd like to go out there and have a fun day,

but is it worth risking a breakage? (Are track days amazingly fun that even if you break something you're still on a high etc)

Do many things break when taking your car around a track?

anything I can do to prepare Rosie for as safe as possible run?

How many lap should I do before I start to retire the old lady?

lol who?

firstly you can beat all of them (except probably the porker), especially if you can borrow a set of semi slicks :)

seriously though....assuming the car is in good condition, do an oil change, have the brakes bled and keep the boost turned down, you'll have a ball.

I ran my old gtst (standard boost) at track days for years without any mechanical issues. Its only when you modify them that you have troubles.

# of laps are easy...keep going until the brakes fade or the water starts to get hot :)

I don't know the RX-7 is twin turb AWD and the Monaro.. well I dunno - maybe in the corners :P

Anyways - semi slicks is a nice idea :) Sounds as if Rosie is going to live through it if I decide to go down. Boost is set to 10 PSI (low enough i hope) and everything else seems fine - might do a a quick service before I "track" ;) down. Thanks for the tips :)

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
