bathurst raceway is a public road, are you serious? whos idea was that

are you for real? bathurst is and has been a public road for ever. I would say at least 350 days per year it's a completely open, 2 way public road. people live there and when it's closed for races etc cannot access the driveways to their property...

nice vid russ you clown! sounds a big gay though. shame it's not a 2.6 like a real mans GTR (like your 32 for instance).... but I guess it's up mark's alley...

one thing i always wanted to know was do the residents get compensation when its used as the racetrack? because for those few days you cant go anywhere, not that it would bother me though :yes:

I think they pack up their personals, go on hloliday and rent the place out to teams, media and fans for big money!

Yep your on the money there Bris!!

It cost a minimum of $250k to hire the joint for an event...so can understand why the entry list is so high at certain events and why others cost so much to enter with less traffic to hit up the mountain...

Plus they only get permission to use it so many times a year...

Why events like the Drive Days,FOSC & Bathurst 12hr (plus the V8's) are so awesome and worth going to if you can atleast once in your lifetime

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
