  1. Got something above old Nokia resolutions lol
  2. Just to get back on topic... it seems nobody has a before and after of actual real world performance differences of removing the A/C but I guess it's such a small gain on its own that it's probably not worth measuring. Let the frivolity continue Ryan: Yeah I don't drive with her much but I'm intending on training her as a navigator so her weight will be a part of the car in the future. Dane: Agreed, I try to bring snacks and in some cases lunch from home so I know it's decent plus I stick to water. Marlin: Pics?
  3. lol no when you said it was still a valid point but sounded soft, just like when Luke said it. I didn't magically go ZOMG NOW I RUN WITH A/C ON FOREVA lol I just went back to my a/c off and windows down approach, I like wind for some reason. I tend to drive around with the window down all the time too, much to my missis dismay. lol at the navigator comment Agreed, I had a Powerade and drank water all day, ate well and I felt pretty good. It wasn't until I was coming home with the car on the trailer that I really started to feel tired but given the weekend I had that's not that unusual
  4. lol That aside, just saying it's a valid point. It was interesting to see how some people handled fatigue later in the day, which is when more 'incidents' occured. That will also be car fatigue, tyres etc, also. Me, i just keep the windows down and kept my sessions to 5-10laps depending on how the car was feeling.
  5. Something interesting to add. I was at a drive course yesterday and had Luke Youldon as my driver/trainer and he insisted on having the windows up and aircon on explaining that the added comfort would keep me fresh and would do far more for lap times than the small reduction in weight would do. Having said that, once he got out of the car I turned it off and put the windows back down as I prefer to drive that way. It was only 22 yesterday so it was hardly hot weather. At this stage, it's still in the car.
  6. Not as yet, won't have any until next time it comes out which shouldn't be too far as I might be putting some new bolt holes in it for the missus. Hot damn
  7. Updates! **Price Update** 2x R32 GTS-T Type M seats (inc rails) - $99 - Very good condition, one tiny cig burn on drivers seat as shown below. Disregard the light dents in the bases, it's because I had them sitting upside down on each other. The light circle in the headrest of seat on the right is from the camera. More pics as requested. EDIT - These don't recline forward, suspect these are 4 door seats? **Price Update** 1x S13 Brake Master Cylinder - $199 - As new condition, have receipt for full rebuild totaling just under $300. Was used for one lap around the block and swapped out for bigger item needed for my larger calipers. Has been kept 'wet' to keep the seals in perfect condition. (Beware anyone trying to sell a master that's been dry for any length of time) ** ON hold pending payment1x S15 Brake Booster - $50 - Very good condition, includes bracket and vacuum hose.
  8. Kate will be happy to hear that Not worried about accom Bec, I know you've always got it covered. You're like "super SAU organiser women happy time MAX" <-- I love engrish
  9. You will have a blast, just drive to your limits and be safe
  10. Not sure if an NA would pop flames without a cat, would depend on the tune of course. A lot of turbo cars will get some flames happening without a cat due to the richer tune.
  11. Drive your car up onto two bits of wood or something first then you can put something on top of the jack to give you the extra height you need, also, be sure it's on stands to work on it. Don't stress, with all the people there, we'll find a way to swap it out. Or if you're staying down there just do it at the hotel/caravan park etc and drive it to winton from there.
  12. Without a doubt Don't get caught on the street with that de-cat pipe. They are illegal and being an emissions related offense will carry a heavy fine. Swap it on at that the track. There will be more than enough jacks and tools if you don't have your own
  13. Don't sweat it. When you're there and you see some of the cars that pass you won't worry ever again.
  14. I''ll get to the form shortly but count me in for this. Provided I don't bin the car on Monday. EDIT: Forgot to ask, do we need a cage to take a passenger at these days?
  15. This is installed in the car now, will get some pics up shortly.
  16. Scratch that, found it straight away. Email sent.
  17. I have "a" surname. It relates to people living at the Cooks Ave address. I'll dig it up and shoot you an email, give me some time though as I have to dredge through a ton of email.
  18. lol yah maybe, just remember though guys, keep it legal. Being wronged doesn't give any of us the right to break the law or take it into our own hands. I spent a lot of time persuing legal civil action. It's hard but it's the right way.
  19. No way he will fix anyone up. Think I'm stuck with these R32 seats, no GT-R seats or my $500 in sight lol Having said that, my Velo is SEX
  20. Awesome, thanks mate. Tell you what, if we come up with something, you can have that dished wheel for free Though I do have it fitted to my car right this instant as I just fitted the velo and need the clearance for my knees Hello quick release kit..
  21. Hey mate, email sent. Cheers Dan
  22. lol I might pull the belt off but leave the stuff in there over the hotter months and see if I ever think "damn I want some aircon"
  23. Yay I voted for dave Democracy at work Well done to all.
  24. I've been thinking about this all day, still not swayed either way. I can see myself (and the missus) appreciating having the air con when staging etc coming into the warmer weather but also see that it IS weight that can be lost and a tiny bit less for the engine to do, though not much as it's obviously only requiring work when it's engaged. Hmm... lol
