QUOTE(cavey @ Jul 26 2007, 08:56 PM) [snapback]1281279243[/snapback] I will be going out I have my new fan, shroud and oil cooler...hopefully I can do more than one lap before it overheats now..  My last trip out cost over $2000 due to the overheating problems  I won't make the SAS on the 4th but will aim for the WAS of the 22nd. |

I do have a second hand set of GAB coilovers waiting to go in as soon as I pay for them... so I might chuck them on and see what they are like with tires that don't turn...You can hold my hand again and we can frolick in the fields  |

Don't worry too much about times, get out there and have some fun, the quick times come with practice.  sweet, i'll probably come out for the sprints after this one then if i can i need the practice

Unfortunately I dont have that honour, I need to beat 1:06:17 otherwise it will be a long afternoon. Should be good fun. Shouldnt be too hard to beat a standard GTS Skyline with some suspension mods around QR. WPR represent. |

WPR represent. my friends GTS-T does 62.5 secs its not too far from stock, and its a 32, so only RB20and ive beaten 1:06.17 in my non-turbo starlet, so it mustnt be too hard but seriously, you will go faster driving smoothly and taking it "easy" and slowly building up corner speed than you will trying to break records from the get go |

While gathering parts for the big build I am going to do the suspension/brakes and put semi's on. I've got 2 sets of rims(1 set in transit atm) which will be handy. I've got all the BPU stuff organised which should help propel me to a reasonable time I just miss doing circuit stuff and even autokhana's. I do need to find a decent reclinable bucket seat though as all mine i've got are fixed back :/ |

Might see how hard it is to get it done legally. Just a mod plate isn't it? |
