well round 1 of the tasmanian drift series has been run, i qualified 12th
(highest ever) and battle through to the top 8,
i beleive i finished 7th
which i was not expecting as i had never won a battle, so it was an awesome day
and cant wait for symmonds now,
car ran faultlessly and the conversion is
doing exactly the reason we put it in the car,

well round 2 has been and gone, had heaps of fun didn't really focus on the competition part, quallied 11th due to all the broken cars there was only a top 16, my first battle came up against matt russel , I lost, but had so much fun battling some one of his level and just watching him chase me in the mirror was awesome, plans for the car are some ducting around the radiator behind the intercooler to try keep it cool, constant laps witout stopping cause it to hit 100+ degrees, buy some new front steer tyres and get it ready for the time attack and drift battle event in mid june, heres the official round 2 video il post mine when I upload it, and if anyone is intrested in seeing my engine bay its in the video in the opening flashes, https://vimeo.com/65643760

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
