[MR22ZZ]

I believe Shane (YLD) got his from Tom Vale's house mate (also called Tom) who works for the Federal distributor.

If not, there are a heap of them up on e-bay now in heaps of sizes.

How are the spots going Garth?

Talk about a last minute list:
front calipers are currently getting modded so they won't rub on the rotors
set of Tein springs are on the way from NZ
strut inserts are at the shop awaiting for the spring arrival
need front calipers back so I can check for front brake line length (was an issue on the last Dina)
need to find some 16s that'll clear the ST205 brakes (so I can run my track tyres)

Don't think I'm going to make it

[Brendan]

Car is progressing well... not sure if its going track ready well haha but we shall see.

turbo is back together and back on the car, with everything hooked up.
Headlight has been cleaned and re-sprayed - pick up tomorrow and install.
battery clips need to me "massaged" to suit the new battery - hopefully done tomorrow.

and I need to confirm friday off work.

So. tomorrow I should be able to say yes or no

I've still got some issues with my ECU and tune.
Sorry GT still unable to confirm at this time.

Didn't you just get this dyno tuned??

[-GT-]

Luisito, they say you need a 'valid drivers licence' - does that mean currently not suspended? I can't say for sure what their definition is. Could maybe ring them and ask them? Guess the other hand is, how would they know it's suspended? But not the sort of thing you want to play with when they're pretty free with throwing life bans around for dodging licence and therefore insurance rules.

Oh and Nath, payment received.

Looks like there's a few of you eyeing off last minute spots - got 5-6 still free at this point.

[YLD-16L]

Damn I can't wait for this I'm getting withdrawal symptoms it's been so long.


I wrote a list last night for pre-track day prep and I'll try and knock it all over on the weekend. No big tasks identified, just the usual fluids and checking things plus alter a few settings in the ecu and configure the logic for the intercooler water sprayer and warning light etc.

How's everyone else looking?

[Bananaman]

Soooo brendan. Coming (and inviting me ) so that i can set a record for most spinouts with the newfound powah?

[MR22ZZ]

How's everyone else looking?

I still need to put the entire front end of my car back together

I'll most likely be running with a ghetto spec wheel alignment as I don't have a chance to take it to get a proper one done between now and then. I've been trying to fine a digital angle measurer thingy like Takai has to make it easier to measure the castor angle but can't seen to find them anywhere.
Camber and toe are fine as I've done them quite often by the set-square and ruler methods.

I've been trying to fine a digital angle measurer thingy .

I grabbed mine from Magnet Mart (might be a Canberra only chain?) it lasted about a year and was very handy then completely died.

Haven't been able to find another one locally since.
