I might have a complete HCR32 loom in the shed if you want it. 

Ooh. Yeh. Not sure about how my first born will feel a out being called Komdotkom

[Komdotkom]

Sorry mate, I binned most of the stock HCR32 stuff in the last shed purge. I thought there might have been a loom floating around but it all went in the bin.

[Roy]

No problem. Appreciate you looking for me though.

 

Start new job in January....will be good to be back in Melb, no more 70hr weeks at a start up...normal programming shall resume. 2023...hopefully my 18yr quest of a teen at Sandown is realised

[Roy]

So just got back from a few days in Tassie.  Was a great trip that included some laps at Symmons Plains and Baskerville

 

Finally started to get the car sorted, though the borrowed GoPro proved to be less than great

And Symmons Plains vid. God I was losing time under brakes and off the start finish straight. Tough place to work out whether its 2nd or 3rd. Anyway...good fun. Baskerville was better seat time and started to get my head around driving the girl after years of little driving

Doing my best to live like it's 2013

3rd track day in 4 months

 

 

[Duncan]

well done on the PB

......not so well done driving straight into the bog on that new rallysprint course 😛

[Roy]

Lol...as i sat there waiting for the tow i got to about 5 things i did wrong  whilst frolicking in the paddock. Most of all who woul of thunk it that downhill near the wall was boggier than to the left UP the incline....moron 

[funkymonkey]

Maaaate! You still got the beast! Glad one of us is still going strong!

[Roy]

Of course. Never getting rid of the old girl. Sandown went well yeterday. Definitely need some new tyres as they are rather square now

PB with a 1:19.77

Not happy with the 4.1 diff and need to go back to 4.3 ratio. But good to be consitently getting some laps in the car as I still suck

So getting a set of rally tyres 😅 

Good effort, your getting heaps of driving in lately.

Cheers. I've bought some  uses for gearbox cross member and some rub er for cage mount. Hopefully that will do it...thanks for the link. Bought one of them ...can't hurt

[Roy]

I love my old school Weds but having used a set of Pagid RS29s and rotors down to 30.5mm after only really 8 track days I think it's time for 18s

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Cool looking car, the Sierra that is.

Moar nudes of that please.

[Roy]

Its a shitbox too...The Motec and EFR sitting on the bench will hopefully help it break more driveline parts   Christ, had it 12 years . Time for another English shitter

I should actually swap beakes. 370mm 6 pot APs for street car and 343mm 4 pot on club car!?!?!? 🤔

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Very unique car, don't see many of them!

The fuel lid and the silhouette gave it away 🙂

Yeah bro, swap the brakes around lol.

[Roy]

If i could just find at sensible price an R31 GTSX or ST165 GT4 then id be a happy idiot living in denial

 

I miss my 31 coupe. It would be mega 25 years later if that numpty didnt run i to me

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Very sexual car, haven't seen one in years

Nope, keep the purity wheels and just change pads when you need to. Depending how many session you did, 8 days is a lot of work.

Plus, tyres in 17s are cheaper and more compliant than 18s for the same diameter.

[Roy]

Yeh,  I found a place that does 68 vane 343mm rotors so hoping going from 42 to 68 with some better ducting will keep them alive

 

For all those reasons I have kept the 17s Uncle Dunc....32s just don't look as good with 18s. But the 343mm does limit the 17" wheels you can run to basically LM GT4, TE37s or Weds TC

You Bathursting this year?
