yeah cool.

Just thought id ask.

[Marlin]

Yeah I've not seen a 930 compete recently.

[zebra]

might hang onto it for 10 years and sell it to some rich guy in europe who is restoring his fancy beetle, for a mint lol

I have my entry in for 2012 as well - so thats two of us!

Going to be hard though, work is always busy around that time so not sure how we are going to fit enough decent recce in.

[Marlin]

Timmy and I had plans to be there, but we've decided to take another year off to persue other interests.

We've decided 2013 is our comeback year all going well. Hopefully our car isn't too uncompetetive by then.....

Have my car back to the way it was before the telegraph pole incident on the Cygnet stage @ TWP, currently being prepared to run Wrest point again and dipping the toes into TT by entering rookie for 2012.

[Marlin]

Glad you're getting back on the horse Scott!

Cheers for the input on the rear guys. That is by far the hardest part of the project, so if those in the know feel it is not worthwhile I will reconsider. Cost isnt a major consideration as I have some good engineering mates who will help with the work at the right price and have a complete MX5 at the right price to salvage all parts and to use as a guide. Have already got guys who beef up the MX5 rear end and can make FD diffs work for the guys that are already putting rotors and V8s in MX5's. Main challenge is prepping the shell to accept the subframe, and getting it at the right height to have correct roll centre. The upsaide is once its in with some decent coilovers, you have good amounts of ride height, camber and toe adjustment to fine tune the handling.

Great to hear you are getting back amongst it Scott.

Maybe its time for his to return in 2013??? 2013 - BATTLE FOR THE WANG!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow somebody took a bite out of it! Who knows where that thing has been!

[Marlin]

Maybe they took a bite out of it because they knew where it'd been?

[Darkside]

^^^ Have you got the taste of it out of your mouth yet Woo??

[Marlin]

No....... No I haven't.

[Snowman]

No matter what you're never getting the smell of it out of your house Paris!

My plans after getting the new car was to get back for THC'12 - but I really don't know how accurate those plans are these days LOL

Like Woo - I've got lots of other plans I'd like to do next year.

And I'd still like to look at Pikes one day.

Maybe once I get this car actually running properly I will think about what I will do with it.

[Marlin]

Snowballgargler, we need to either have a get together or a mega phone conference once Briz is over his tooth shebang

[sav man]

You should come down and service crew. you've done everything else

[PHaT MR30]

^^^ Have you got the taste of it out of your mouth yet Woo??

I can still smell it... ewww

[Marlin]

It did stink!I

Sounds like a good excuse for me and Bris to come up fishing for a weekend

So who does one have to pester to get a course car job for one of the rallies (TT12 would be awesome). Now it's with CAMS I can throw my hand up for having a bronze rally officials license which means I can check/set the rally stages and I'm not afraid to sit in the silly seat while doing so.
