Welcome back Michele, long time no post.

I missed Mark and yourself at the recent track day. Knowing the times Mark can get with the daily car, he'd probably would have been sticking to the Evo that took fastest car of the day.

It would have been fun to catch up with everyone, we race with Michael at other events, he goes well. SAU do a great job in giving people a taste of the track who may never have taken that step otherwise. Hillclimbs are good for getting some fun with only a fraction of the wear and tear and helps you perfect the standing start. When are we getting you back out to the track

PS sorry for the hijacked thread :blush:

Ooooo got any more high res pictures of the blue and white 32 there in your signature Michele, it looks amazing!

Come have a look at Wheels, Mark didn't like the black bonnet, so its blue now. Its looking good, he can't wait to get good tyres on it, but its going good considering.

When are we getting you back out to the track

Car is track ready, tyres a bit worn. Was looking at getting a set of the new federal true semi slicks, but now with the SAU/RENEW competition I need to stick with the street tyres to stay in class. I'm not sure what some of the other cars just ahead of me were running, but I know most of them were either full race cars or had serious mods and were running in club class. For the day (remembering SAU didn't do anything to promote the competition so many didn't know to go in a class) I was point leader despite blowing an intercooler pipe and loosing out on most of session 1 and all session 2.

Are you guys still doing a lot of hillclimbs? or moving more to true races? I just don't have the funds for even low level racing.

      100% hear you. I won't defend them but I will defend my ability to work twice as hard to keep them running. 馃ぃ

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By robbo_rb180 路 Posted

      A mate had this style seat from SAAS years ago and they were pretty comfy but the quality was not great especially after a few years. Have you looked some 86/BRZ seats? the seat warmer is great and I use it a lot. I just drove almost 2hours and no issues with comfort.

      I always find it both fascinating and educating seeing you go through all this. It's a bit like "BMWs are great. Except with one massive caveat: as long as you fix this two page long list of things where components are broken by design" Every now and then I consider getting a BMW. And then I read your posts and think that maybe the RB life is not so bad after all

      For the record, I hate the colour. Even if I'll never see it again, I know its in there.

      This is another issue I'm fixing. This little valve stops all the oil from draining to the sump when the engine is turned off. What happens eventually is that the engine is a little noisy and has the oil pressure light on for a few seconds after turning it on. Basically it takes a few seconds to build the pressure when all the oil has drained. This valve is a non serviceable part and is attached to the oil filter housing, BMW suggests to replace the entire housing if this valve fails.  As it turns out this valve can be removed and that means you can get an aftermarket replacement, which I did. The failure, for me at least is that the valve doesn't seat properly after a while, which I've demonstrated. The new one is a ball end and always seats properly.
