  1. For $10k I think that is a steal! Just needs a 250hp Hayabusa motor in it.
  2. MBS206: Yes more video is available, will grab it off them shortly. PezHead: Likewise, will send that dvd off to you on Monday.
  3. The GoPro HD I recently got outputs in mp4 format. I use Xilisoft HD Video Converter to convert them to regular mpg then use MPEG-VCR to cut out the bits I dont want then convert them back into mp4. The end result after the cutting and converting is a file that is about 10% of the original size.
  4. I was actually planning on heading up but on second thoughts didnt want to sit in 12hrs of rain
  5. Im surprised it was even allowed to be streamed considering Ch7 had the rights.
  6. Yellow flags have been a complete waste of time in all forms of motorsport for atleast the last 15yrs.
  7. Yup been watching it for the past hour - good streaming.
  8. Their is 1 on carsales now for $9k
  9. once u go black u wont go back..
  10. damn dyno days they always make me want to spend money... I cant possibly bring a standard ute to the day will have to go buy something for it
  11. So you go to all that effort stripping it out to reduce the weight and now you are going to add weight by painting the cage, cmon fatz that isn't your style!
  12. 50% chance of 10-20mm on saturday which means at this stage im out - no point going if its gonna be raining as I havent got wet tyres. My trailer is loaded still (from the last wakefield day) so i'll check the forecast on friday arvo again.
  13. Re-surfaced, new ripple strips, new marshall towers, new safety lights at marshall towers and thats just the last 12mths.
  14. How is it that a place like Wakefield Park can afford to do track upgrades but well known places like Barbagallo, Queensland Raceway and Oran Park are reluctant to spend a cent?
  15. It's basically a normal trackday but with other randoms not people you know. You won't be allowed to drift.
  16. You dont need a bigger turbo what you want is a set of whiteline swaybars and whiteline strut bars and some braided brake lines. My best of the day was 1:18.2sec which im happy with. It will go quicker simply from me gaining trust in the semi slick tyres and the brakes. It's still a full 10sec off what the car is capable with but im happy for now.
  17. Go to the local concrete recycler and im sure they will let you have any piece of it you like.
  18. Do a search on ebay for 'cams'
  19. I've posted all the video's I have. Their were about 3 or 4 that I mucked up because I either forgot to press the record button or switched it off instead of on. noob
  20. Bought it new and only put 3500km on it so far in 2mths with 1500km of that done in 3 days (towing) so haven't had a chance to wear out the back tyres yet, besides it only gets driven 50-100km in a normal week so i'll have traded it in before it reaches 50,000km. The VZ SS Crewman has a lower towing capacity than my VE SSZ Ute. My trailer is rated at 680kg and my car is 560kg so 1240kg all up and usually around 150kg of tools n stuff in the ute tray. You have to look in the rear view mirror and see the car on the trailer to remind yourself that you are actually towing something. My previous tow car was a 2000 Toyota HiAce 2.4L Auto with 85kw and 200nm (probably 65kw coz it had 350,000km on the clock) that thing struggled just to tow the trailer over speed humps.
  21. I have no problems with your driving, I enjoy mixing it up with the fullsize cars. I just remember watching you go into turn 1 and the last turn with full lock hoping to make the apex but just continuing straight ahead off the track each time lol. Getting a set of semi-slick tyres (even if they are second hand) will make the biggest difference to your handling and laptimes so that would be my suggestion as your next investment.
  22. I finish work just around the corner at 5ish so i'll come and watch.
  23. Oh that happens for other people too? I thought it was just the workshop I keep delivering them too were too stoned to order the correct part each time.
  24. Sounds good to me!
