Good luck Liam! Hope you have a bit of fun and make some good times :banana:

Thanks Kel! I'll post up some video if all goes wel

Oh awesome...Will come and say Hi :3some:

I so cant wait...need my rally fix!! Rally School just isn't enough!! :cheers::laugh:

Sounds like it will be an interesting experience for the both of us!

Maybe Jeff :(

Update your sig mate, I see you've entered old faithful ;) Unless of course you're going to *BAM!* suprise everyone at the last minute and unveil your 35 all caged up :worship:

no it's the 34 again

just can't bring myself to stuff up such a nice "road car" with a cage

I didn't know anyone read sigs!

Alright, we're 3 days out from Lake Mountain and there's no talk...

We've had the car re-tuned, had the suspension tickled with and have a new set of Yokohama shoes.

Looking forward to the weekend and the weather looks ok...24ish on Sat and 20 with poss showers on Sunday. Adam is looking forward to running in the wet...not sure if thats good, or bad :blush:

oh well i decided not to run rookie, as i didn't have the monies to do it, and no incentive after the possable free entry to Targa was taken away.

just have to join the local circuit series 3 rounds in, and get the car setup for next year. Which i'm guessing will be a 6 day event for the 20th aniversary.

Im sure your all up on it, but this is what i think of when the name Adam Newton and wet are added together.

Its amazing how much that car has changed, they day after that footage I won a comp to go for an extreme ride with him arround symmons plains, and then only a hand full of laps later he ripped the rear quarter off it on the pit exit armco!

So we had an interesting weekend.

Seems the dreaded cold tyres/turn 1 curse was out and about over the weekend.

We started off with an uneventful 4:45 and spent the rest of the weekend trying to match and better that time. Stage 2 saw us massively sideways, rear end in a ditch, rear bumper torn off and right rear alignment shot to pieces...all on turn 1. Despite this we still managed a sub 5 min stage time and all we lost was the rear bumper and a little shine off the car! A spin at turn 3 later on in the day saw a 4:57 before the rally gods allowed some form of speed and we finished Saturday off with a 4:43 on Stage 6.

Adam took the car back to Techsport for a rear alignment that evening while i found some accomodation and the biggest parma i have ever seen.

Sunday saw a much more consistent effort with the only thing effecting our times a damaged Porsche(with oil everywhere) and a little bit of drizzle that we backed off for to ensure a finish.

The final stage 10 started off well and only got better as we blitzed the 9.3kms, smashing our previos best by 5 seconds to end the weekend with a 4:37.7. Good enough to be the 4th quickest on that stage.

Results saw us 6th outright, with a 1st in class, a great lead-in to Targa Rookie in a month.

Was fantastic to catch up with everyone and Jess, Burgo's R looks a heap of fun :-)

    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
