I will be there with both cars. R32 is now roll caged, has new OS giken R3C triple clutch and new OS giken box with HD input shaft. Trust 6-speed dog box is out to get its yearly inspection. Soon will have new tune with the 1000cc injectors and dual bosch fuel pumps done on the 25th.

V-spec will keep its current OS giken box and tune, and will have 2nd new carbon triple as INTUNE totally f*cked it up, hence why my last attempt the car went backwards. 12.4 and 12.9 I was pretty pissed off. I shouldn't have changed away from Glen and MarK at brake and clutch. Mark knows his stuff, he is really knowledgable. I'm paying for it now.

They better let me run the R32 as my 10 second passes were at a test and tune meet, so technically they shouldn't have kicked me off until I ran that time at a bracket meeting. Watch CADRA be total wankers if the car does 140mph +, it's going to be a total shitfight. If they change their mind on passing my cage then they can forget me going out to drag race ever again. It seems like it's fine for the imports to race as long as your not beating the main V8 players, if you do, then they get sooky. Really is a bit of a red neck attitude out there and I don't think they take the Japanese cars seriously at all.

To follow up the 33 made it 2 years straight outright in the Motorkhana event - Anyone would think I'm the only GTR in the Territory... Anyway, anyone seen this ? I think the blue car

I think it's more a case of the only cars running the passes that are in the 10's or better are the purpose built cars so for someone in a street car to get there has probably raised a few hairs on the back of peoples necks. Just keep getting faster BK and try do everything to the ANDRA regulations rather than CADRA. If it's at national spec then there can't be any arguement. If they do pick on something I would assume it would be for the safety of yourself and the other racers. I can understand what you are saying about running that time at a test and tune though, it should have been left until a bracket meeting before something was said. Test and tune is exactly that, testing your equipment and making any changes required.

See you out there when my new gearbox is in.

They do make up their own rules though. I can't find anywhere in the ANDRA book that says you need to secure your oil filter, and that is one of the first things they pick on you about. If you can find it tell me where and I'll stand corrected. Anyway are you going to enter the 1320x event ? If so you'll need a four point harness at SFI 16.1. ANDRA is 11's for 4 point but this meet they are inforcing 11.98 OR 110 MPH. That's you, me, ozzy, fab, craig - all over 110mph. Pretty silly I think. I'll see you guys out there after Finke to stir the CADRA pot !

Some would say it's raining. I think it natures answer for drift lube for bitumen. And it'd probably be branded GM. Apply liberally and take mums car for a spin.

Oscar, how the hell did you manage the 11.7 in RWD ? That's pretty good bro. I dunno when I'll be back out now after buying this house. I didn't have any front diff or cv shafts installed anyway. Was going to bring the white car but I had to work. Blue car is still a while off being fully ANDRA legal. After looking at the calendar I'm going to aim for Aug. 16 with both cars. White car just needs a bit more of a break in with second carbon clutch and to sort out boost control issues. As I told you the blue car has got some oil and water leaks to be addressed.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
