Troy your 32 was born to drift, they love it. I think drag is for people who can't drive (personal opinion) I can't drift very well but its heaps of fun. We should try and orgainise a day. Also nice shot of my car spinning it up over the top of the hill. Will anybody who took photos be at the meeting on tuesday beacause I don't have many pics of my car and I wouldn't mind some. Also troy do your spacers for your calipers have the holes opposite the old ones or are they offset?

Opposite or offset...?

Dont really get the question. The holes have the same centres, same bolting face as the std bolt holes, only they are 26mm further out. By same bolting face i mean the caliper is at the same offset relative to the rotor as std.

Meh, Drag racing is not as bad Gonorrhea, its more like herpes...it can be treated but there still doesnt seem to be any cure for those that love it:)

Hey guys, great day at the track..

I was talking to a guy from the WRX club today and he told me they compile a video each year of stuff from their track days, he asked if anyone has video footage they could contribute (especially things like andrew's flames which we all love).

Let me know via PM / this thread. I will post his email address as soon as i find where i bloody wrote it down!

I'm encouraging the old man to come down to the club meet. I may not be there. I'm sure I can find him a minder for the night :D

I've also given him the heads up about Winton pics too.

The next drift day, I may see if I can organise a photographers pass or something, and if the old man can't get out there, I'll get trigger happy instead.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
