had an awesome day out there, was a day for carnage though, heard of a few cars going bang, mate of mine did his bottom end, same with the blue s14, and yeh richo also read you did ya gearbox, spewing mate, you were doing awesome out there from the footage ive seen. I had a small love tap with a mate doing tandems and another couple of mates came together too.

keen to see any pics or footage people had.

Also need to find tyres for next prac, if anyone got any 205 or 215 40 or 45 profile 17" tyres they wanna get rid of pm me.

yeah garth with WOWZER, white 31 coupe, went into the rear 1/4 of joel in the gold 31, joel came out with a couple of scratches and a couple of small dents, but garth did headlights, front bar, rad support, front 1/4 panel, bonnet and bit of damage to cooler too i believe.

Yes, it was an awesome day! perfect weather, lots of runs, couldn't ask for more.

Right at the end (about 4ish) on the entry to turn 1, my gearbox went bang! I was left with only 5th gear and had to drive like that back home.

Funny thing is that after a while I could use 3rd and 4th gear as well, so lucky for the drive back to Adelaide.

Now looking for a 25 box, if anyone has one laying around let me know.

Big thanks to Flick for recruiting a camera man (girl actually) at the last minute, whose name escapes me right now, thanks to her too, havent had a chance to have a proper look at the footage but looks good so far.

Luke, I saw a few nice tandems runs with the other white 31, looking good mate.

Cheers

Haha no probs, just hope Mel got some good footage. We were allowed down infront of the fence, just behind the cement wall on the track, so should have some good footage there!

Oh and eddie good pics man! richo - Eddie is a friend of Lukes n Mine, i asked him to make sure he got some good shots of u!

Would have like to be out there but a couple of days before the AIR practice day met with a wall on the freeway and car was written off..... PFC and controller for sale, gauge and pillar mount for sale, bucket seats for sale etc

ANyone know where to get a cheap drift pig from??? Im just getting around in a an old 86 celica at the moment that cost $600 --> i dont think it is going to hold out for too long.

Anyone want to buy some cheap parts?? Pick up in adelaide only!!!!

haha thats awesome, Well mel the camera girl is very umm persuasive and managed to talk to security and they let us around in front of the fences, right behind the wall of the track - like where all the pro photographers stand, so we stood at the end and filmed as u came towards us, made for some wicked footage huh!

Better than being in the stand thats for sure! Was fun watching cars coming straight at us!

Richo:

I have footage of u and alot of it actually.

I was on the other side of the fence.

LOL you waved at me a few times down near the S's onto the front straight. Dont no if u remember.

And I saw Flick and her mates around but was busy trying to film my mates and try to get footage of the gu yin the blue ceffy that hit the wall.

Great work richo, your advancing every time u go out.

Im going out next prac on the 15th. I just need track time. Sick of doing stupid shit on the street.

Once i have the footage on dvd i will pm u so u can get a copy if ur keen.

It will be of everyone not just you. im not that fancy with these over sized calculators hehehe

hahaha, yeah I remember waving at you, so you probably remember that time I was more worried about looking at the camera than steering the car went on the grass and spun.. :) lol

Thanks mate, yes I copy of the footage will be great!!, I havent seen footage on the esses from saturday, and br very keen to see it.

let me know when you have it and i can go pick it up or something.

Cheers

Ric

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
