Sweet power man! So you coming to test it on the 21st of december?

Yeah I agree with you on that one. I have some really fine mesh out in the shed which will be cut to shape and painted black to replace the perspex corners, cutting mesh is far easier then re-making the 2 that got broken. Then will run brake ducts from the bottom 2 vents and a tow hook through one of the other holes. More pics up!

Blacked the sill and bottom of the door earlier today, and added a fresh coat to the flares. Looks much better! It kind of makes the car look lower and the wheels look a bit bigger. Going to lower it another 30mm or so next time it's in for a setup.

As requested, I've matty-B'd the bumper. Going to do the flares and paint the sills black tomorrow / sunday.

1:24 seems respectable compared to some of the Superlap cars times . I was hoping the car + me would be capable of doing a 1:20 around track 2... but it's hard to gauge having only driven there for 1 day in a standard 86, and not getting timed. Really have no idea. And you've settled it then Ben, I'll flatten the paint out next weekend and make sure it's not shiny.

Fuck D thats my mum! Yeah brad I'm considering going over it with a coat of Saturn black and no gloss... Or I'll just do a trackday with it and it will get a lot more dull , spraycans aren't ideal. nzdm - haven't taken this to Taupo yet so will have to see in march. What sort of times are you doing there? I think I want to aim for low 1:20's (1:20-25ish) but really have no idea what to expect.

Holy wow! Have only ever seen 1 of these... and it was at the Mazda factory in japan. Nice find man! Looks sad in storage with things piled on it. Did they know what they had?

Bought a "trademe special" bumper... was cheap enough. It ended up having a warp in the RH corner and needed fixing up. Also made a mounting setup that is quick and easy, so it can come off to go on the trailer. How it looked when I got it: Spent ages repairing the bumper. No pics of the process but it came out looking good. What I did was sand the lump down until it was even with the rest of the bumper, then flipped it upside down and layed out about 8 layers of fibreglass for a base. After that was dry I flipped it over and used newtech to give something to mould. Following that there was a lot of sanding, spray puttying and more sanding until it came out looking pretty good. Now 2 bombs of primer, 2 bombs of gloss black, 1/4 can of matte black and 2 cans of gloss later it looks pretty good. Could do with at least 2 more coats though. Might just do it at home with some laquer and my new compressor. Also made up a couple of lenses up out of perspex. Painted the front ones red and the corners flatty B. The repaired corner:

Hi all, just putting the call out to see if anyone here is interested in helping with the Daybreaker Rally this year. We need block marshalls. What this involves is driving up a stage to an intersection or Spectator point, block the road and tape the intersection off. You get fuel a fuel voucher to cover the travel and there is normally a free dinner included. The date this year is October 11th which is a Saturday. PM me if you are interested or call: Jeff Braid 06-3561008 - day 06-3550407 - night Chur.

Gay. Didn't get it cause I slept in .... Never mind guys.

Cheers guys! Will txt if I win it.

Hey guys I'm looking at buying this bumper as a spare but it's pick up only. Anyone able to pick it up for me? And possibly organize sending it here to Palmy or to hamilton (will be in the waikato soon no doubt). Help would be appreciated hard and I'll offer a box of the helpers favourite brew. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =176426853 Chur.

I'd be keen if we roll the KP ... you can borrow my 15x8's and we'll chase them?

Garage Robin race development. Is it loud??? Sounds Mundane inside the car.

Should really be in Project Discussion. But cheers man! It was a really good day out, great day for racing. Tell the father in law Cheers from me . Feel free to come have a chat whenever if you happen to be there at the same time as me.

Vids! Testing on the saturday:; Race 3 on Sunday:

Second race weekend has just been, and what a weekend for it! Spent saturday Afternoon testing the car (after a drama over losing the fuel cap and trying to find another fuel cell type cap to borrow!). It was a good day for testing with decent weather and not too many cars out on the track. In a run by myself I managed to do a time of 1:20.8 - nearly 2 seconds faster then my previous best. Race day came and the weather stayed good. I run in "allcomers saloons" in the 1:23 and faster class, so this sits me mid / rear of the pack for normal style grid starts. Started in 21st for the first race and swapped position with quite a few people, to finish in 21st . Fastest lap on race day was 1:21.4 which I'm happy with. Had a really good battle with the orange Macbuilt Corolla (also 3SGE powered, and my 3S conversion was also done by Macbuilt), managed to stay ahead of it until he spun into the hairpin. This car has been my "target" so I'm really stoked. Pics: Small vid (sound sucks!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KFOcpYEUiM

Haha I like the freshly painted suspension parts dangling in the office!

Found some pics that dad took of the car in the 90's at the onekawa st sprints in Napier. In other news, I had my first race day in the weekend! Took a lot of work to get there (Finding out it needed a wheel bearing on thurs night and a few other niggles). Ended up getting out for 2 laps of testing on the saturday before the track closed. Then in a wet race 1, lap 1, I got rubbed up against by a super 6 and wanged into the back of an HQ that had slowed down to avoid the same super 6 who spun on the next corner. Bent me guard, headlight cover and broke both the RH Facelift eye lid and the facelift indercator. Didn't care, just kept racing. Race 2 was really mint, also wet, Hanidicap start from near the rear of the pack. Had a sweet battle with a pile of Civics, a swift and an E30 Bmw. the fastest civic spun off the hairpin and splashed crap over the cars behind. Was pretty cool. Race 3 came along and was to be the last of the day, the sun was out and the track was dry. I was put in the group 2nd to last in the handicap start. In between races we had adjusted the brake bias to try and give a bit more rearwards stopping power, it felt great during the warm up lap. This was followed by sitting on the start line, revving and looking forward to a good race... Only to have the clutch give up on the start line. . That sucks. But thats racing. < Hows that for anticlimactic?!!! So I now have 4 weeks to do a clutch, fix up the panels and hopefully have enough money left to race. Watch this space.

Fun car to go for a ride in I love the spacious front and rear bench seats.... It's actually a 6 seater car . I have a couple of pics uploaded but forgot to blank plates.

If I were you guys my plan would be to get mashed at, fall over and cut head, then crash in his bed early on... Re: OTP at spences place and Mike-e's bed.

I got some tickets here $5 each - save $3. Only 2 so be quick .
