  2. Doh I was going to pop out tomorrow morning and watch the first race Doesn't sound too bad, if it's only one weekend you'll have to miss.. That rules out a whole list of potential boo-boos
  3. They're not free if you're going to charge us a credit card surcharge

  5. Well if it's the last thing you need, you might as well grab one and finish the car
  6. I'm happy to collate the payment, and put the entire amount on my credit card... I'm not one to turn down free frequent flyer points edit: Oh, I see what you mean now Yes, if I can pay by credit card, that would definitely be preferred
  7. Found. No longer needed.
  8. Happy to pay YOU the full $1400 in one go, but do NOT pay the full price up front for the carbon shafts. Only pay the deposit, and then the balance on delivery from the distributor.
  9. SOLD.
  10. SOLD/SWAPPED. Thread closed.
  11. Yep I'm in... $1400 / 2000HP one for R32 GTR.
  12. I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I remember reading somewhere that downforce acts on the car as a whole. Not sure how reliable it is
  13. Stop calling me Merlin, Beer Biatch!!! :laughing-smiley-014:
  14. I'll NEVER forget footage that I saw of the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship), where I saw two identical Volvos (same race team), barreling down the straight one after the other. Halfway down the straight, the rear wing (it was one of those cool touring car T-shaped wings) of the second Volvo rip off and tumble along the tarmac. I'm not sure that the driver noticed, because he kept right into his throttle Eventually, both cars enter Turn 1 and the first car just brakes and the whole car squats down and gets on with his braking. The second car following a little behind also hits his braking marker, but the car doesn't seem to slow down at all!!! The rear of the car just waddles around helplessly as the lack of downforce and resultant lack of grip meant that he couldn't brake ANYWHERE NEAR as hard as his teammate, let alone attempt making the first turn. He ended up squirming all over the place, and spearing straight off the end of the track at some RIDICULOUS speed, as his teammate casually took turn 1 without a care in the world. A perfect example of two cars entering a corner with (nearly) exactly the same setup, at the same speed. One with a rear wing, and one without. I wish I could find the footage to show you guys
  15. Shiiiiiiii1t... I'm supposed to be overseas again on the 5th

  19. Dundan - I'm not looking to race in IPRA, but a set of rules to (somewhat) guide my build wouldn't be a bad thing. Although this rule doesn't seem to make any sense at all, especially since as Harry mentioned, Late Model cars are able to punch through the front firewall to the front struts! Although IPRA isn't on the cards, I wouldn't mind building the car to specs that gives me the freedom to sign up to a "real racing" category at some stage without having to re-do all whole heap of modifications! Harry - Thanks mate, yep I noticed that little paragraph
  20. Threads merged.
  21. Hey guys, Hoping you lto can help me out I've been reading the IPRA regulations, specifically around the rollcage It says the following: Does the bold bit mean that I must weld the backstays to the wheel wells, and can't extend them into the boot to weld onto the strut towers????
  22. How much do you charge per hour?
  23. Hey Ben, Yep, the only road use this car will see is on its way to and from the various racetracks Build is getting there! The entire car is stripped at the moment, and waiting for its date with Bond Roll Bars Then comes paint, and then I can start driving it! Brakes and suspension will be coming shortly after... They are both jaw droppingly expensive It seems that any parts for cars with GTR or M automatically have a 100% markup :laughing-smiley-014:
