Very interesting day! Some serious power on show.

Although i made a joke of it today I was very very happy with my power curve and the cars very balanced performance. I mean come on people its only got a turbo back zorst! lol...

To be honest I was more happy the clutch held it down for three runs!

Was very suprised snoozy!!! 216 huh??? Stock huh??? pfttt

I'll be in trojan a few times before the next D-Day I think ;-)

I'd like to take this oppertunity to thank all those who came along,especially those who ran their cars. There were some standouts that I think were memorable:Tim's S13 running one of the neatest graph's seen on the day,the look of suprise on Race Snooze's face at a better-than-expected power figure(and no,Shaun-we all know it's not standard,LOL!!),the awesome run by Con's Trojan Motorsports' GTS-T(345 rwkw out of a RB25-FAAAARK!),Spyro's "sleeper" work ute,Amaru's 32 coming "on song" with a note that brought a big grin to my face,the mighty 186 powered Holden sounding so traditionally tough,the determination of the old school Soarer's owner(sorry,guy:lost your name in the faded memory bank...)to head home and get a spare after flatting a tyre on his first run...the list,for me,goes on.These are just a few standouts still clear in my hazy memory.Oh,and a certain little ZR running 509.something kilowatts(Killer-watts?!)at the tyres...DAAAAYYYM! Congrat's,Luch,on another trophy for the cabinet! Tim with the black S13 left too early:he won Judges' choice award-if you're on here,Tim,PM me-I've got a prize to get to you! And a big thanks to Glenn,Stace',Kris,our intrepid SAU camera crew,and all those behind the scenes for all their help.Plus of course Pete at Auto Tech for the day!

Very cool day, and yes the Z and the 345kw RB25 were standouts for me...

As for the Camera crew, your welcome Jayce (any chance to get a sh*t load of hot cars on film!), we will start editing straight away and hopefully we will have a preview for you in a matter of weeks!!!

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
