It was great to meet you all :)

I will post some photos up of the day as well once I edit them from RAW format as they are very large files. If anyone wants any that they see just PM me and I will send you the RAW file format pic :)

A big thank you to Steve for the laps with him and his Evo :cheers:

I will have mine ready for the next day...

Great day guys, big thanks to all who helped in organising it and and volunteering on the day! Was good to get one last track day in before the car goes back in the shed for 5 months :( Ended up getting consistent 1:18's on shagggeeddd tread but looking forward to 2013 with fresh rubber and hopefully a fresh door/door series ;)

Cheers to everyone who gave me a hand throughout the day. Turns out what i thought was a terminal issue was excessive heatsoak causing my oil to be about the consistency of water (hence low oil pressure cutout and me shutting it off). At least i have a few other small things crossed off my long list of things "to do" before next year

But im confident to say ive survived 2 track days in a row without killing mechanicals :D

Great to hear! Big plus to hearing that (no need for that $50.00 VL motor you were possibly considering) lol Can't wait to see you guys out next time

It was truly an epic track day. Pitty the BBQ wasn't on track this time around. Hopefully won't be long till its back on the track.

Massive thanks to Andrew and Chad for putting on a show. Was mega impressed :D

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
