hahah I voted for him because I'd love to see aussie drivers follow their dreams....but its a bit rich to say he is the best young driver ever to race in aus.

in my experience the best drivers probably never got a single race start, and the next 50% of great young drivers can't afford more than a single season. some good young drivers have the budget to keep going, so good luck for him.

Thanks Drunken....

Neil I'm curious as to who you could of voted for that will actually have a shot at winning (the driving phase, not this "dancing with the stars" part..)

Crashing is part of racing, although 19 podiums from 20 races and 12 wins in 2009 shows we don't crash...

the most damage from 2009 so far has been 2 BIG stone chips on the nose box... oh they came from the GT-R safety car while following it at Winton :O

Now nominated for South Australian Sports Star of the Year 2009

come and support the only driver to be nominated, and help motor racing get over all the ball sports!!!

"The 21-year-old's move from Adelaide to Melbourne, to be closer to his Formula Ford team, Sonic Motor Racing Services, paid big dividends with the Flagstaff Hill youth winning the 2009 Australian Championship.

Nick won 12 races this year bringing his national total to 22 wins, breaking a 15-year-old record and giving him more wins than Mark Webber, the Brabham brothers, Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup COMBINED!!!

Lowndes, Whincup and Garth Tander were past Formula Ford Champions."

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
