What an incredible weekend. Almost felt disappointed coming back home.

Definitely keen to get my car back up and running and head back over for a track day. Eastern Creek is such an incredible looking track.

Definitely feel for Simon spinning a bearing though. Worst f**king luck.

WTAC went off!

Best weekend Ive been away and made me realize how much i regret leaving Sydney behind... good friends, good times, good memories.

Spent days glaring at cars/girls and wandering around the track/pits, spent the nights drinking up in a heated outdoor pool in the CBD and living up the Sydney night life.

Next year... Bring it on!!! Theres already talk of permit runs across border :whistling:

Well done to all involved in organizing, attending, competing and making the event possible!!!

3000km in 5 days, 3 states, and a whole heap of f**king win

Ive also gotten a stack of motivation to get my car back and going, and enter in 2 years time (as i gotta make the f**king thing quick here first :laugh:)

Bring on the 2012 event!

I spent most of the Sunday after the event with the Sierra Sierra/Cosworth team - while they were disappointed to have come second, they showed unbridled enthusiasm for the event. Seriously they love how much we loved it, they were unequivocal about the US events not being anywhere near as good as WTAC.

A number of big international teams said don't even bother with entry forms, we'll enter now, just send us the invoice. It's a real vote of confidence for Ian and the crew.

The big difference - Ian does it for the love of the sport, not for the money. The event has a hugely positive impact on the industry as a whole too, at a time when many businesses are struggling. I've already said I want to provide a 'chase car' between sessions for 2012, as well as have a trade stand. Soooo many fantastic memories from the weekend.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
