porsches are like arseholes up there

i know most of the porsche guys and was up there last weekend the guys in the porsches paid my accomodation (thanx guys)

anthony and bruce are both very very good drivers and bruce is the funnest bloke u will ever meet

it was an awsome weekend even if i didnt get to have a drive

who had the grey gtr?

grey r32 was dennis holland

r33 was richard whitehead

both can steer a car OK but the 32 was very standard.

And 2.16 is good....but it was a current cup car on slicks with an experienced cup car driver....not your normal supersprint setup

the event was closed 2 all public so photos will b hard 2 come by but me and a friend managed 2 get up 2 the elbow when the porsches were out on the sat arvo and he got sum footage on his phone, its not much but ill get it off him and load it up. yeah those cup cars were hauling around the mount. does any1 know who hit the wall at skyline and in the elbow, it was a bit hit in the elbow, i walked the mount yesterday to look at the marks and the grass is covered in glass. cheers in advance

the cars that hit on saturday where a black 997 gt3 (street car)

a red mx5 new shape

and a 944 was the massive hit where he knocked himself out and from what i heard they had to cut the car open to get him out

and on sunday bruce hibbard broke a right hand drive shaft in his gt2

unfortunatly i forgot my camera and dont have any photos of the event at all :P

kevin whiteheads 94 gtr is actually a blue r32 gtr

Broken shaft in a GT2 and a 997 gt3 broken?

Thats a costly weekend.

the shaft isnt to bad, might even get it under warrenty (porsche will warrent you after track use)

the 997 wont be cheap as it set of the air bag in the passanger door

Ouch

Any pics?

hmm well at the risk of sounding harsh....its just a reminder never to race a car you can't afford to write off. Especially at a place like Bathurst.

Yeah im just saying, a new one - that sucks cause theyre so damn sexy ;)

    • 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
