I was trying to be generous, Andrew <_<

Yes Paul, I think it's time I updated it - Will do it now actually. Might make it something contentious like,

"Who needs AWD, Two Turbos and engine work to run 11.685???"

Paul, I have raced my car before on the track although not in it's current state of tune. I must admit that if someone asks what times we have run i will say the car's fastest time regardless of who drove. The thought has never entered my head to make people believe that it was me driving, i have just never thought of it that way. I'm not in this to take any records or anything i just want to build a quick street car. Personally it doesn't matter to me who drove the car to what time i only care about what the time slip says at the end. Other people may feel differently to me but that's the way it is.

You guys will not be aware but i have coped alot of flack from numerous people about this car and i am sick of it, all i want to do is get it to the times i'm happy with and it will never see the track again, the sooner the better for me. Brad constantly tries to get me in to drive it myself but i must say i really don't care.

If people have misunderstood i apologise, hopefully it is more clear now  :P

what flack?! i am honestly surprised you were not out there! especially with the way brad goes on! I remember when he first started posting.. he repeatedly said the car was yours.. all credit goes to you as owner and driver.. he just did the mechanical work.. it was like he had a disclaimer at the end of each post!! and then with him going on about the 'ladies' having their own run, i was sure he was going to get you and stace to line up.. but nothing! its fine if you don't drive the car... all it takes is one change in what you say... 'the car did..' instead of 'i did..'....

and you're right.. it isn't a female dominated sport... but stacy has already pulled the spotlight towards her direction and has already done alot to promote females in this area... it DOES NOT help when someone comes along and has the attitutde that the lil girls can go play in that corner while the men have their sport... thats a great way of showing support! :\ and whether or not, thats what he meant, thats how i took it...

hey fatz!!!! i'm ready to enrol in one of your drift days! ;) maybe not your next one, the one after! (do you know when that will be?) :) hopefully i'll get a discount! :)

nice pics Andrew!

doughboy: I'm missing those danish's now LOL

mona: you have to show me how to do a burn out :lol:

what danishs!?!?!?!?! there were danishs!!!!! nooo!!!! all i had was a hotdog bun and sauce!! ;)

hahaha... got smoke?!

"Girls are weak...chuck em in th......."

What'd I miss? Stace? Mona?

Anyway...

The two WOMEN who raced at the drag day on Sunday have taken well over $5500.00 in prizemoney between them at drag racing events over the last 18 months and that deserves restec-p of the highest order. :)

They are two of the most well-seasoned drag racers that SAU has the honour of calling members and should be regarded as such.

I don't think people give them enough credit - in particular regard to the skills they have developed.

For instance, Mona. How the HELL do you cut sub .020 lights every other time?!?! It's got me beaten. ;)

Everyone have a good hard look at who the REAL racers are on this forum and in this club and then, if you're nice about it, draw from their experience. I'd like to.

I want to give those reaction times a go next time I go to WSID. I cracked three 0.0** RT's within a patch of 5 runs on the weekend which I was stoked about considering I'd never even got a 0.1 RT before :)

(I'm sure the 15+ runs I had earlier in the day helped a little though ;) )

0.020 lights? Maybe Mona should come along to a Wednesday night street meet where they have prizemoney for the top three best reaction times for the night.

Yeah i think that is some of the prizemoney 2rismo is refering to

Ummmm........ See above for Paul's response.

Ummmm........  See above for Paul's response.

When did Stacey win money at a Wednesday night street meet? Sorry, I've been away for a couple of months and may have missed it. ;)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
