Forgive me for being very skeptical of this time.

When was it done?

In the 1991 Tooheys 1000 on the last run for the top 10 shoot-out Mark Skaife put in a sizzling lap of 2min 12.630secs in his GTR — the fastest ever lap by a touring car at Bathurst.

I have grave doubts that something putting out 230rwkw can get anywhere close to 10secs slower over that distance.

Consider that time was top ten shootout as well. Actual fastest race lap by Skafe that year was 2min 14.50secs in the GTR.

well there was definately no full track laps on the weekend. there must have been some misunderstanding about the times.

Ray did drive well though, and came away second in class which is a great result considering its an essentially stock car with a cage....he was even running on road tyres not semi slicks or slicks.

And the car is a beautifully turned out example too :( some pics to come but I havent got around to posting them yet

Thats the one:)  Clutch woes...i know the pain...a night of this has all but killed my 2,000km old clutch:

Not CLUTCH problems Roy, clutch PEDAL problems. It broke the 3 spot welds where the pedal pivot is welded to the plate that bolts to the firewall. Nothing that 10 or so cable ties couldn't fix. Finding the problem in the first place took some time though, it looked like a hydraulic leak at first glance. The clutch pedal went up and down, but the pivot fork didn't go in and out.

So I only got 2 runs on Saturday SoSK only got 3 runs, would have been much faster with 6 runs like the rest of the field. Plus I had no time to tune the set up, what it came off the trailer with was it.

Great weekend though, needed those Jacks on Saturday night to releave the back pain from lying upside down under the dash fixing the clutch pedal. That's motor racing:cheers:

      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 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.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
