If my mate with the trailer doesnt have an event that day I am so in for this. Last time at Heathcote I ripped the tailshaft off from the back of the gearbox trying to warm the tyres. Tramped like mofo and before my amateur brain told me to back off it was smashed.

Side note: How the hell nismoids R31 gets down the track without tramp nor wheel spin is beyond me to this day. He had $50 tyres on as well!!

I give the clutch a fair bit of grief to avoid it when i was racing regularly.

It never used too when i had crappy tyres - with RE001's its just axle tramp now however so not sure what im going to do for the day.

There is, but that is only to renew before you are expired... You cannot actually be covered by our permit.

All members must be valid at this stage.

bah, shoot me a renewal email if you can <3

i would hope so...does that mean your coming to this?!? :)

yep definitely coming, although wont be with the water/methanol installed :(

It's not like you're not allowed to renew :D

I like to wait till the red final notice comes in the mail before paying, allows me to squeeze every penny :cool:

Paying before a due date is sacrilege!

Haha but it just adds 12 months to your expiry regardless of when u renew, stop making excuses Patrick :D

Remember that cop who got both of us in the same day, did he EPA you too?

nup no epa, he told me that my exhaust was a bit loud and should get a muffler put in, but didnt give me an EPA because he respected my clean driving record in "this" type of car. :w00t:

Yeah, they are not as good as they are made out to be

Can't wait to skate down the ol ice rink again.

lol you can't use 001's for circuit!

They will last what, 20,000km's or something... not a circuit tyre and will go off with too much heat - same @ the drags.

On street rubber i just go around the water spot, or spin just enough to get the water off them :/

Don't look like my car will be ready ... :cool:

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
