Who's was the R32 GTR @ winton? Thats a nice looking car! I saw you a few times on the track, but didn't see you in the paddock. True I didn't look to hard, as the sun was scorching my ass off and I just wanted to lay down somewhere and die. But I did come have a quick and was going to say g'day. I was the one in the Sexpo white ugly thing overtaking 10 cars per lap trying not to scare ppl (too much).

I'll try to come down to see how it's all going if I don't go to Winton/Benalia for the weekend. I want to see if this red beast is actually fast.

I'll take on the 2nd question. If you change cars half way through the season, then you can still accumulate point towrds the outright club champion, which will be a combination of all points scored throughout the season in any class you were in. But you can not get points in one class and carry these across to another class and win the class. Class points will only be valid in that class. Hope that makes sense, Ta Chris.

Here it is - First post updated Carsales - 2007 DECA Championship - Outright Results

I'm probably going to go to this with a few mates in gemini's, as i've promised to take them for a spin for years. Any SAU'ers thinking of going?

One thing to keep in mind guys is that Tein make an extremely wide range of shocks. There are Tein's out there that are way too hard and i'd never run them in ANY car, and if these were the only Tein's i'd experinced then I would hate Tein's also and be biast towards any other shock as most would be an improvment. But the top of the range alloy body mono-tube shocks are top sh1t and I would go as far as saying the dampening quality of these Tein's only would be superior to the Billsteins. These are what most of the fast Vic guys are running around on and yes thay have tested back to back. But for someone who is a daily driver occasional tracker, or who wants a nice combination of do everything setup with no fuss at a great price, then go the billstein. For those guys with too much money who need an extra 10th, then the alloy TEIN's would be the better option. I think we are comparing apples to oranges.

In fact there is such a document. I'll clean it up and post it up later on tonight.

Has anyone else had a high load bar done in Melbourne? Or is the concensus that these "Max" bars are the ones to go for? Is Max still able to do these bars on request?

What do you use the R33 for Russ? Or what do you intend to build it up for? Seems you have a GTR for every situation. "Collect the whole set' eh?

Here is the final standings as posted in Post#1 for the Provex SAU-Vic Track Championship. Championship Final Standings - Results Congrats to all who participated in 2007. Thanks for doing all the results for the year Roy...

8/8/08 - Lucky eh!

I have the best excuse in the world. I'm going to be a dad!

Sorry - No I wont take them... But Thanks.

I have heard you suggest this before. And i'm not 100% sure you are right or wrong, but from my own testing: When I ran 255/40/17" on a 17x9, I thought I could feel much more movement especialy in the rear on turn-in at Winton and didn't feel comfortable with what the rear of the car was doing. Then I went to Winton again 2 weeks later with 245/40/18" on a 18x9 I instantly went three seconds quicker without touching anything suspension wise at all. I don't think the jump in size from 17" to 18" could be the differnce I found here, I always put it down to the baggy tyre moving about on the 17" rim. For me I felt I had much more confidence in the car when cornering as it felt more direct with the 18" slightly stretched across the rim. Draw your own conclusions....

I need 10.5" rims for those tyres.

I prefer the bottom right pic in may... I laugh everytime I see it. Where is the drivers lounge going? But October is the best page.

I wonder how the super wagon would go at Winton.

PAID

I'll come if someone buys me some tyres.

Hahaha - your all hilaious.

Yep, we will be looking to confirm DECA dates around mid-end of January.

I think this is the model to look out for.

Hey Kev, Do you think I would get much out of a day like this? I'm sure you can teach me a few tricks... I'm always open to self improvment. Would be interested to hear what you think... Ta, Chris.
