Mazda is giving it one last run I think later in the year.

I heard the 3 MPS is for sale?

Melinda said Allan Horsley rang her today to let her know he retired yesterday. Don't know where that will leave Mazda Motorsport?

Benny its with Danny Traverso, seems like a good bloke and got a good crew. Either in an Emo 9 or a GC8 2 door. The weight is on Burkey's shoulders to give the IX the ready to race tick of approval!

Danny is a good fella. Ask him if he needs me to come up for some comic relief!

BTW - will be a good effort if his IX is ready. It was missing the whole front after Baw Baw.

Snowy you should come and party up! I haven't been to a MM event, but have heard they are all about fun????

Danny said the car was fixed now, but needed a new engine as it got damaged in the crash?

Well if you are going to be up there Heikki then that ticks a few boxes. I finish up at work two weeks after so my priority is getting everything finished work wise so I can begin my life of leisure. Will have to make a call this weekend...anyone else going to be up there?

:laugh: oh the lulz.

I still laugh when I think about the ironing of the situation. Hopefully staying on the black stuff for a change :D

If I wasn't leaving for Thailand next Thurs I'd be up @ Snowy River, going to be a cracking event.

post-42431-0-57034000-1338781899_thumb.jpgWell the DR30 has finally arrived, and very happy with it. The car seems quite standard, was built to LMS specs in 2001. Weighs in at 1204kg with minimal fuel, but I can see alot of weight that can come out. Off to the dyno Thursday to get a base reading before we start playing around.

Targa have deemed it ineligible as a make and model for classic SS (fair enough) so have entered High Country as LMS, with appropriate up-speccing to do!

Waay too much work to do on it...cut your losses and sell it to me. Please...pretty please!

Awsome, awesome...just awesome! :thumbsup:

I have tried to convince myself to sell my Sierra to do a tarmac DR30...i now want to do a tarmac Sierra to play with your DR30. But alas I will do nothing about it and just continue to post randomly in this thread :)

sweet looking ride. Will see you all at THC in my new ride. Quick vinyl wrap and no one will be any the wiser. :)

Considering an asking price of $60k and a claimed cost of $300k (and I'd guess a bit more), that is something of a bargain. I've never been able to understand the amounts of money being spent on "superlap" cars, and about 80% of the projects that start never finish. There would be a shitload of money owed to workshops across the country because of that event.

I watched that car get built over a couple of months, and there was a huge efforet put into it. The thing has been cut at the front and back strut towers, the rest is fabricated. Full carbon fibre 2 piece body shell. Even flew an aeronautics engineer out from US to design the body/spoilers! I believe the build $$$'s was up there. I think Mr Glenney got down to a 1.32 around Eastern Creek at Superlap last year. It was for sale a month or so ago for $150k, times must be tough..

Be interested to see how the DR goes. I'm still keeping an eye out for a cheap one

I'm interested too! I chose one of these after weighing up heaps of options and with a definite budget in mind. It was very tempting to go back to an RX7, but I am hoping this will prove much more reliable and cheaper to run, and a little bit different. I still think the RX7 is the car to beat though..

There are cheap ones out there, this thing was a bargain, much less than a half decent jetski! I am under no illusion it will be competitive straight away though. I drove it (and a DR30) for the first time yesterday, and it is quick, but not fast. Feels good though, certainly not a bad starting point..

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
