Oh I love these road trip and overnight stays....its half the fun.

The day was great thanks to all the organisers. I loved the back track....next time maybe we can do the whole course lap style rather than a section with chiacine. I know there are a lot of people who wished the chicanes weren't there and would've loved to do that last corner as well as the WHOLE main straight.

The track itself is scary especially when you are on povo wheels and you feel the grip go.

now those with photos....CHOP CHOP!!!! I wanna show my workmates

Was good fun. My car is filth now tho. Will post pics up later.

Next time we need to manage more runs on the circuit . . . . somehow

Yeah black cars just looked like shit after the skidpan

Dont worry about the track runs - ive already got that covered for the next one :laugh:

Canberra is a freken huge roundabout!!!!!

I went to get BP Ultimate at Kingston. Getting there was fine, then I was trying to find a way back to the place we were staying, but ended up doing happy laps round and round Canberra. :laugh:

I just wanna post this up again:

Haha. I'll have to, i only tasted RWD today.

I certainly could have used a 2-way around the donut cone all tho no help needed falling off the track any where else

I was going for the 'most original way around the skid pan' award but got upstaged by a reversing a31 ;)

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
