  1. Pretty sure the mondeos used the 2.5 V6 duratec not the lantis motor... unless there the same i am not sure they are tho.

    Yeah, had to be under 2000cc for Super tourers.

    Just for fun:

    Dont think anyones posted this yet, def worth a look if you haven't seen it:

  2. Motor, pedalbox etc in my car is from an NZTC Corona, they are were pretty mild in comparison.

    My motor runs small cams - 257in 231ex with about 10mm lift and only 10:1ish compression. Pretty lame really :P , will give it more when I refresh the engine.

    These ones were NZL:

  3. He's going next month I think.

    Whereabouts is the setup? Palmy? Let me know too, pretty certain my brother would be keen on that for the VB110. He won't need to save the cash either... damn engineers.

    Yeah man in palmy. PM me and I'll give you his e-mail.

  4. Yeah I would definitely change the pads! I fitted Metalkings to my car and gave the discs a skim before even looking at the track, and every openday I've been to someone cooks their brakes and either cant make it home, or have to go to repco during the day.

    Plus I would hope that he will get more than 3 6-8 lap runs! That would be a pathetic day out :P . It's a trackday so anything under 100km of track time is a rip off 8) .

  5. brake pads are all near new i am going to do a rear pad change as they arent good quality, i have metal kings in the front tho and fluid is allready dot 5 less, than a couple months old, might re bleed them when i change pads/quote]

    Is it Dot5 or Dot5.1?

    If it's dot 5 get rid of it, because thats silicone fluid and it does really funny things to your pedal when under stress.

    Otherwise, same copy what everyone else has said and paste it here. My first time out I had no idea about how the car actually handled, spun out a few times and learned a lot! Then first wet trackday spun out more often and learned even more!

    So long as you're not being a dick, or a wuss you should be fine.

  6. How many do you need? Just get in touch with a screen printers, there is bound to be at least one in the south island :P . The place I've been dealing with supply everything you need and make the screen up for $20 if it's easy to cut, then add the price for shirts and each print.... They generally do good bulk rates for 10+ shirts.

    Im getting 20 shirts done in the next couple of weeks and they are going to cost about $25 each for nice quality shirts + a different print front and rear.

  7. Sweet man, this is a bit different. You don't see many people that do NA SR conversions... I think they should be more common.

    Good car for some club sprints etc to get you into racing.
