Recommended Posts

6 hours till the A-Bomb gets fired up, I'll make sure not to feed it before I leave as I hear it's got a breakfast of RBs and 4g63s waiting for it at QR ;)

(In all seriousness though getting pretty keen for tomorrow)

Is any one staying for the mighty car mods meat in that day? If so are all the skylines parking together? Thanks

I'll be staying around for a bit mate, then heading up to the ASPA meet at willowbank

Yeah great fun, first time at the track and had an absolute blast. had a few rookie errors

100% full tank.... (left turn lateral G causing a little bit of fuel to spill out the cap... frkkkkkkk :P)

and popped an intake hose off the turbo on thye last straight.,.... (i think/hope) ill wait for her to cool and ytake to her with a spanner and a can of redbull.

Thanks for organising sucha good event!

Had a ball today,the evo club are a good bunch,hopefully they run with us again,nothing bets an evo chopping.lol,probably the best one ive been to for a while,keep up the good work guys,but i cant leave in this note,had to have another evo crack,see picture.

This is my new friend ernie the evo,so sorry but i still got to chop you.

Thanks guys had another fun day no shuddering in the steering replaced pads machined rotors also balance and wheel alignment done. Ran good for a stock standard.

The Qld Evo Owners Group would really like to thank SAU for the invite to join you guys today. Everyone of the Evo guys reported back to me that they had a ball this morning & we would be honoured to join you guys again for other events.

One of our members suffered a major failure in the form of a suspected broken gearbox, 550hp @ the wheels will do that sometimes but all in all an awesome morning.

It's always a shame when someone breaks something at happy laps.

    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off    
    • Just report the OP (via the 3 dots menu at the top right of post) and request deletion.
    • And boosters can be rebuilt by the same sort of brake shops that will rebuild a brake booster.
