  1. LOL...but you have the knowledge and resources to do it...even if you do struggle for the time. My thing is a 1300kg, 235/40/17 wearing, std RB20 engine and gearbox R32 GTSt with a lowly 260rwkws on a good day with average brakes, and some decent bits under it but as for all the super alignment/arm settings etc Doesnt the ZED have 315 rear tyres? I am looking at a set of 18 x 8.5 +30 and 18 x 9.5 + 36 offset rims for 235/40R18 fronts and 245/40R18 rears, thats about as big as i think i can get under my car. I may just stick with those sizes in 17s...meh. Be great to see someone with a nicley sorted GTSt, 9 years into the build the wind is out of my sails and will never quite get to the development that i had hoped to reach (ie, have the power i want, just not the cooling, brakes and suspension to reliably flog it for 20mins at the track)
  2. Just buy the magazine, sheesh. Its like $8
  3. Far too much effort going into getting cars to handle. Just up the boost and have more fun wrestling it I do wich i had a Z32, it would be so nice to just buy the crap you are developing on your car John. Nobody stuffs with R32 GTSt so stuick with the expense of learning the hard way myself SK, if only swaybars could give my car more hp, better gearbox, brakes and suspension alignment
  4. Any mention of R35 GTR owners having their own float at this years Mardi Gras ?
  5. With regards to signing Alonso for RBR in 2008, the 63-year-old Dietrich Mateschitz is quoted as saying "His situation was complicated because he was free for one year only," Whilst looking for a 2008 drive it seems Alonso had already wrapped up a seat for 2009. Everbody seems to thinks its Ferrari, but personally i can see it being BMW. For a period they were very vocal with their praise for Alonso, but the past 9 months have gone quiet. I think they have bagged him with Heidfled out of a seat in 2009. What is Nick the Bricks contract term?
  6. And here come the critics .... http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news...409105054.shtml I agree 1000% that Louises gesturing when he couldnt get past Fisi was uncalled for and a bit childish/bratish. Be interesting to see that if McLaren continue to struggle and lost their place at the top with Ferrari whether the Alonso fans will come out of the woodwork saying "We told you so" If Lewis can turn it around in the next few GPs and get solid podiums then it will at least show that mentally is tough enough to be around for a whole championship when expectation is high
  7. Skaifes cars used Alcon in the days of GTR
  8. Best bet is to fly up there and hire an MGF or something. Just get heaps of laps in. The 20min sessions on the day will help you get used to the track in your car. I want to enter, but it looks like all my money and time will be going on partying OS, which is good and bad. I would liked to have pitted my car up agaisnt such a cross section of cars...
  9. Its the length of their skirts that slow GTR drivers down. They trip over them and get tied up in the pedals.
  10. LOL, the night i was smashed and fell 3 storeys i signed into the Rowing Club as Heinz Harald Frentzen Kind of says a few things about the state i was in when i got there, so cant blame the grog they were serving me
  11. I shoudl learn to type. It is Brown Davis http://www.browndavis.com.au/contact.php
  12. Be warned though, you may not have too many problems getting the car registered as a 2 seater and all legal with the cage. But should you evcer want to remove the cage and get it registered as a 4 seater again then you need an engineering certificate. This means new seat belts etc etc... AND an inspection of the car. So those mods then come under the eye of the engineer and given the way they feel about mods that mess with emissions you could well be proper farked
  13. LOL, i would say its the best R34 i have ever seen in the flesh, possibly the most desirable of all the R34s i have seen in print as well. Easily the top 5. If you are selling it Aaron you should really consider the simple pleasure or ringing a rwd 2L's neck
  14. Heinz Harald Frentzen..."can the rest of the F1 grid stop sleeping with my girlfriends! " I really liked Frentzen, shame to see he never blossomed at Williams and after his great results with Jordan couldnt pick up another good drive. Ultimate dog act by Irvine and co by sleeping with his girlfriends, surely there was enough F1 groupies to go around
  15. Re Lewis farking up by trying to start the race in the wrong mode... LOL, the story of the front spoiler? I suppose they could see the stroke of the front shock change indicating loss of downforce on the front...but i suspect its another example of the team protecting the driver. Just like it was the teams fault not to call Lewis in when at China he had fark all grip, they could see the tyre was farked....no doubt Lewis said the car was still drivable, wait to see what the weather was doing...and oops! Fark Up! But the team wore that mistake !
  16. Well talking to a McLaren mechanic in Melbourne, Alonso was liked by his mechanics, and Alonso was only guilty of letting some things be heard outside the team. Lewis is loved by the team, but was not innocent. At the end of the day Alonso is gone and i have it on good authority that Lewis was no more innocent then Alonso, only Alonso lost out in the eyes of the media.....I didnt get any insight on why that was the case but one could hazard a guess and say that so much F1 media is British, and secondly that he was the golden rookie...but was clever enough to cry foul publically but behind close doors conduct business in a different manner. Re todays press release, McLaren are doing a good job of protecting their drivers. Perhaps Flavio needs to take a leaf out of their book. Every time there is a problem its a team letting the driver down.
  17. Bet it smokes me
  18. One day i will get a proper colour match for my front bar. At the moment in fadign light you can se it has too much pearl in it Well, new bar at end of month and grill etc all get installed to tidy the car up
  19. But at the same time. I quite liked the HKS Hyper II a friend had in his car. They have sonce improved with a newer series. And Ant is doing really well with them in his GTR which apart from the coilovers is completely std in the suspension dept. Just gettign some decent coil overs does allow you to spend the money on actually driving/racing the car rather then leaving it parked at someones workshop getting work doen...which is no guarantee that you will go any quick,er as you are still chasing the times the car could have been doing before. Just another thing to consider
