What did you buy?

Nothing yet.

Not looking at anything interesting either. One of my Volk center caps has gone AWOL, and I've found a number of likely candidates to replace it. Also an R31 keyring :)

Japanese schoolgirl?

Hmmmm.... group buy?

5k will buy you one thats on the road....but not well, unless your very lucky. i payed 4.5 for my girls one ('68 with the roof racks, Venetians etc) but i have rebuilt the motor since in it.....

I found in the 5k bracket you either get one with a good body and stuff drive train, or vice versa. never a nice combo or compromise.

anything below 4k was just plain screwed :(

what happened to the days of buying an old Volkies for 500 bucks slapping some number plates on it and just driving.... :(

oh, and if this rain stays im not coming down tonight...spent too long this arvo saturated in the rain to wanna go out in it again

I hear ya. My other bugs cost me $500 and $1300 both straight on the road. There seem to be some half decent ones around at the moment for under 5. Some really nice ones between 6&8. I want to do a lot of the work though. So as long as the engine is decent enough for a daily then i'll settle for a slightly less than decent body.

    • I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
    • DCS, war thunder, IL2 - mostly flight sim games.
    • FWIW, the Sutton Road facility is a good one, they have a wet kidney skidpan and a dry area as well as the back track....the club hired it a few times back in the day The clover and wet pans at Eastern Creek are the only ones I still know of in Sydney, that place is always expensive but different clubs would run different prices/formats There used to be a place called HART at St Ives, not sure if that still exists. We used to hire the runway at the tafe at schofields for dry motorkhana, not sure if anyone still does that. And of course that lovely one at Oran Park that is now a housing estate....
    • Sounds like you are trying to escape one abusive relationship by getting into an even worse one. It is possible to change your life if you want to
    • So, I did a skid pan last Friday at SMSP which I totally sucked at. I'd like to get better at this but it was $350 and I probably got about 20 mins on the pan over the 4 hours I was there which is just not a great ROI.  I don't have a LSD in the car yet, that will happen before I go again. I was struggling to get the car to be consistent and I think it was the open diff. I also struggled to maintain any control at all once it did step out. More practice needed.  I found this one but it's a good 7hrs round trip for me. https://www.fifthgear.com.au/course/advanced-skidpan-training Are there any others that people have been to around Sydney?
