Hey there Brisby. FYI, you're one funny dude to be around. You cracked me up on the weekend.

Should I include a time I got in Franks car? If so, 1.31.1 around Winton in an R33GTR...

New Phillip Island time, 1:44.8

Oran Park time, 1:20.4

And, coolest of all, Nurgburgring, Nordschleife in a Golf GTI, 8:52....

We need to do a boys trip mate. How much fun would it be to have a few of us on there together!

[ferris bueller voice on] OOOOHHHHHH YEEEAAAHHHHHH [/ferris bueller voice off]

Definitely interested.

When is the best time of year (when it's not raining obviously) - I've put some sock money away as I can't drive a 997 GT3 for my 40th this year like I planned god dammit.

Doing this is one of those things on my "do it before I kark it" list.

Obviously summer is the best conditions BUT the track is apparently really packed at that time of the year (June/July). I reckon sometime around early May would be a good comprimise but I'd happily work with whenever. It'd struggle to be any worse than the conditions I had last time and I survived that.

Although around Xmas is obviously out as it will probably be covered in snow.

Hey everyone

i will have the lap times updated in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled on the first pages again.

Haha it wasn't in the traffic on the fun day. That time was on the sprints on sunday. 12 on the track at a time.

Dane. You'll be back soon I hear so you'll be knocking me off soon! I really love the track and I'm sure there is still some time in it with my current setup. Can't wait to go back with a warmer track. It was freezing all day.

Marlin, what times does your mates E30 M3 lap Nordschleife in?

Sorry i missed your post earlier mate. I sent an email asking him and here's what came back;

"The car is not set up properly yet. When i bought the car, it had terrible suspension, with standard brakes and road tyres. I have done about 35 laps in the car in 2 days with that setup to get the feel of it, but on the last weekend (3 weeks ago), the oil pump packed up about 2/3 the way through the 3rd lap. I managed to save it without seizing it, so hopefully won't be too much to fix. Rebuild obviously, but hopefully rods and crank are ok. With that setup, the car would lap the Ring in about 9:20 mins or so on a clear run (never timed it though).

I now have Bilstein Group N suspension, AP Racing big brake kit, new rims and Kumho V700's ordered for it, plus going to fit a cage too as I'm at it. The car should be ready for the season next year, as I'm gonna be away anyway, there's no rush. I reckon the car will be good for about 8:20 ish for a full lap when finished, possibly quicker with a lot more experience on that track. You're gonna have to come over at some stage to see it, and drive it yourself. You'll love it!!"

    • So you're now accepting offers of 10% more than the cost of the turbo kit fitted?
    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • 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?????
