Hi guys, couldn't wait to get out on the track again. GT-R is in the workshop getting an engine rebuild so I took my sisters little MR2 Spyder out for a spin at Wakefield.

I just bought a video camera and manfrotto suction mount (find them in a Ted's pro camera shop for under $200) worked a treat!

I've compressed it to keep it small (only 6mb). Hope you like it!

PS: A lot of fun. I only brake 3 times in one lap (turn 2, hairpin + last corner) and the rest is throttle control. It's very different to driving a GT-R that's for sure, more on the limit, more desperate, much harder to overtake but a lot of fun catching faster cars in the corners. Wouldn't trade my GT-R for it though but still... I was impressed with it... all stock too (sussy and tyres were stock).

Nice movie mate.... that car can stick to the road pretty well......

my wakefield experiences are always good......... brake early... good line.... apex... power out of corner... DOOOOOOOOORRRIIIFFFTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO........

i was a bit excited on my first lap ever there on the horseshoe and it was either run off the road or rev it.. dump it and drift....... gotta go again :P

shit man thats some nice driving!

are those cars turbo? actually sounds alright

what'd your sister think of her car coppin a bit of a workout? lol

and i love the laugh after you pass the 2 guys and get on the straight. lol

Haha yeah my sister was AOK about me taking her car out on the track, she wanted to come actually but didn't make it on the day and far out that liyyle laugh I do... wasn't the only one on the day that's for sure... since it was just us on the track (only about 10 of us in our group) and we all knew each other it was a lot more fun... like playing GT4!

The car is dead stock, no turbo, 1.8 and very soft and tall springs but because it's so light and has such awesome turn-in it wasn't so mich of a problem although hav ing said that... if it had coilovers and semis it would be a very very fast car around Wakefield.

I only managed 1.20 in the little MR2.

Can't wait to get the GT-R out there when it's done. I'm sure the in car camera video will be a lot more exciting! ^_^

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
