We paid $5,000 for Targa Tas entry - although to be fair it cost a lot more than just the entry fee.

v s p e c it is a very specific amount, thats what some people think a bathurst trak day is worth.

But lets do this properly with Brendans idea.

Option 1/

Take your car to bathurst for a supersprint

Option 2/

Cab to airport $50

Fly to Frankfurt $1080 (royal brunei via fligh centre)

3 day Car hire $1k/day $3,000

2 days at the nurburgring e345/dy $1100

3 day accomodation e100/night Tiergarten hotel $480

Fly back to Aus

Cab back home $50

total 5760.

$160 over budget but I think Ill take option 2.

I'd either go with the nurburgring idea or I'd take the $5600 with me next time I'm in japan. I'd buy a cheap-ish silvia or something at around 200,000-250,000 jpy (around $2K-$2.5K), then I'd get my fuji speedway licence and do some fuji laps. then I'd go to mobara and do some drift. then go to tsukuba and do some tsukuba laps. with the money left over I'd take it to a wrecker and have it chopped in half and sent over here as parts. then sell them. get my $5600 back and go with marks idea.

outstanding idea richard!

I've had an even better idea! Take the $5600, buy a cheap non registered silvia, or like a series 4 RX7. drive myself up to bathurst on a quiet evening. do some hot laps round the mountain. either crash out in a blaze of glory at the chase, or get if caught I should have enough dough left from the $5600 to make bail, and still have a few bucks to get drunk and make outrageous claims about my lap times.

can only dream of taking a drive on the Ring, but hope my missus will understand when we go on a honeymoon that i need a day for "me" time to go for a sprint lol hahaha wouldnt mind paying that lady who's the faster driver on that track to take me for a spin in her cab and see how that is lol probs more fun just being in the passenger seat than wetting my pants in the drivers seat doin high speed cornering :)

when i seen you counting the money at the end of the day.i never thought you would be on here trauling for ideas on how to spend the money.and then have the tounge to lie and say that a sponsor gave it to you.:)

option 2 sounds the go.

well not really a once in a lifetime experience, bathurst is very do-able all you need is a NC license and some cash to buy a drive with a ute or similar.

I reckon if you do the supersprint you will be held up by a bunch of CEOs in their vw golfs.

put it all on red.

you'll turn your 5.6k into 11.2k.

the choice is simple.

i say put it on evens...

i'd :

fix my car so it stops this damn stupid boost cut.

fuel pump, clutch

-install my turbo sittin in the garage

-passenger bride seat + harness

-cage

-rear spoiler

-fix rear left coilover

-any money left goes to retune :P

-oh and a HKS gold insert bov :dry: (flutta type)

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
