Yeah, back now... for a little while. Was over there for work, so not too much play. Its hard when everything happens at 2am! Little Blighters definatly stay up late. Did see (or hear) the scooter gangs roaming around.

Toyota Chasers/MkII's seem to be the popular choice on the island. Saw heaps of them. Stacks of skylines/S13s too, but most of them just NA models sold to US servicemen thinking they were getting fast and furious.

Anyone going to Calder for Gymkhana World Tour?

yep, got 3 cars heading over by the sounds of things.

Stagea

RX8

Evo 6.5 TME

prob going over on friday night and drive straight to calder for the show :thumbsup:

Yeah, my bad. I didn't think it'd sell out that quick!

Whats your plans dude, i ended up getting friday off, but i still can't leave till mid/late afternoon.

Are you getting a motel or crashing some random place?

I was figuring a motel or something, happy to share the love around :3some:

Figure we need to get on it shortly though, before it gets booked out.

I'll probably leave early Friday, want to get over there as fast as possible and relax!

well my wife is coming too, so i'm less happy to share the love around(unless of course she is asleep):whistling:

we shall have discuss the plan at the stagea cruise next weekend.

Give her some roofies... that'll give us some time to ourselves... :cheers:

I still have to work out who is coming with me, then I'll book motel or caravan park. Cabin is fine with me.

cabin close to the track sounds good, we won't be getting there until after midnight, but i wouldn't mind staying sat night too, then bail early for a sunday drive home.

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
