Hey guys,

I'm having some what of an open house at mine tomorrow..

Rock up anytime, share stories and a few quiet drinks.

Any time after 9.30am is good by me.

I do not have my mobile, so home phone only if you need.

Getting in contact with one of the guys I am close with will work.

i.e cass, jay, doof, ben, deitz, aron, chrissy etc...

I'm still not sure what to say, ive been to this thread a few times and not posted the reply I wrote.

I feel like words cannot express the way this has and will affect people. I guess all I can say is that from the brief chats I've had with these young men I can very honestly say they were genuinely sincere and passionate young men, and we could not ask for nicer people to hang out with and represent the club. I hope that Alex and the families do not deal with this entirely alone, and know that a lot of people are here when you are ready to talk.

Rest In Peace, always in our thoughts.

Thank you everyone for posting your messages of support here.

I have met some of you before with Tom, and you have painted a beautiful memory of the man who i gave my love to.

We were partners, lovers, best friends, and co drivers. Tom will be forever remembered.

Gerard had become a close friend over a short period of time, and i will never forget the quality of man that he was.

I know they're both up there at the big race track in the sky - covered in grease working on their cars and racing them on the track as they always loved.

Thankyou again everyone for your support - it is wonderful to see how loved these two men were and are.

just joined the fbook group about the upcoming trackday, didnt know them personally but the loss of anyone in the community in such tragic circumstances is a blow felt by all members.

Obviously i cant compare my concern with the pain felt by their loved ones and those who knew them well but it at least makes us all pause and reflect on the sadness of the event and how close we all are to those shiny pearly garage doors sometimes. I for one will be taking the next pac/nasho run at a more sedate pace and not taking the joy i get out of the sport for granted.

RIP boys..

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
