That wasn't me with an Evo 5 or 6 all over it's bum! I had three people ring and ask me what was holding me up! LOL

Stu, when's the DVD gonna be available (I'm assuming the tv telecast was a cut version?), it was a good production! :(

FYI, 7HD went crazy and dropped out for a minute or so when Mozz's fat guts were on show @ Prologue

Yes, HD.

And I agree on the same shots being re-used. I would have thought that with the constant whinges from competitors who don't see their cars that NO footage would have been used twice for "filler".

Marlin - Not sure of actual date yet, but would say mid/end-July.

phunky - your right repeted shots is frustrating, but time is always a problem as the production crew were stretched.

super slowmo close up, can't complain! The doco was 100x better than last years (which IMO was the worst one ever)

is the dvd doco going to be differnt than the tv one? (like it was a few years ago)

would have liked to see weeks footage from paradice :D . We almost did the same, didn't see the FF or the flashing lights, the stopped cars were a give away though.

just watched the special features proof disc. pretty cool with 3 to 4 shots of each car in the field, plus a heap of incar and profiles from both classic and modern field.

there is also a summary of results and the nightly tv news packages from each day.

further to all that there is also a short profile on the r35 and an interview with driver tony alford, as well as full length incar of the fast harford stage.

will advise a release date shortly.

Whats with the sig Ben...

Have Evo Brembos but not sure ife the PCD of the mount is the same. Also DMS shox although your mates with Fulcrom aren't you.

You drive a "T" like the R34 and it will shake a lot up... And the RB20... you'll love em.

Good luck. PS Also have springs too lots of springs!

G'day Greggy!

I'm not sure whether Evo Brembos will bolt on? Maybe Brisby the 32 guru could chime in here? I found the car has a near new set of APEXi coil overs in it, which to my suprise actually feel like they'll be pretty good. Last weekend's test day at Winton showed it to have pretty good traction and was really fairly tidy all round. It even rode the curbs fairly well but I'm still interested to see how much travel it's actually using.

I'm really looking forward to getting it out onto a tarmac stage, I think a little 32 could really shake up a few if I can refrain from having too much fun and driving it sideways everywhere :banana:

Rex Broadbent is awefully quick though :thumbsup:

Yeah, end of Day 1 2005 there was one sitting 13th outright. :(

GTS-t is one of the most forgiving, easy to drive fast cars you will ever sit in... I regret letting minego to that useless Rocket - just as the rules came round to suit them even more.

and to rub salt into the wound, he took a snap of us this year with the old girl in the back ground!

Not sure you will run with the RSR in the dry, but you'll hose him in the wet.

Anyhow, I'm all emmotional now...

Winton, what are you doing down there... I thought you were a Queenslander?

      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.......
