The dragon finally lives again! :)

We're back on track for TWP. It's over 50kw's down on power from where it was but I'm hoping the changes will actually make it a faster targa car. Guess we'll know in a week or so!

Very pumped now!

:blush:

Good to hear Ben.

Only shitty thing about rookie now is the big prize has gone - but I still think its an awesome place to start out if you're new to the event.

Even though you're hardly new to the event!!

what big prize has gone?

What car? 33 or 32?

32

The "free entry to Targa Tas the following year" prize for winning Rookie has gone.

I was the lucky last winner of that little gig.

Its been replaced with an entry to TWP the following year now.

And thats only if it is run, so no guarantee.. although it looks like its popular enought to continue.

So Mt Stuart..... I want to do it, and have mentioned it to Giant that he could run his fast R32 GTR instead of the tub of lard he took last year, but he keeps changing the subject. Should I take this as him beiong scared of a couple of four-eyed tossers in a bucket of bolts GTS-t?

Discuss.

Well if Russ can run his car then yeah he's just scared. That being said - I'd be scared to run that car through the tree's too! LOL

The wide expanses of a racetrack with lots of run-off is where I'd want to be in it.

But it's good to know its a relaxed event. I'm really keen to do a few different things next year (this year is booked out already).

I think we could share the driving duties and whoop him :(

Oops, I just opened a can!

hmmm that's gay about the rookie winner.

I definatly see it as Giant being scared, he fears the rb20 powah

On a brighter side, every Rookie winner has binned it the following year.....

Im not game to say much more :(

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
