Fun night! :-) I apologise for the slight wheel spin when leaving, it was unintentional (you could tell by short duration and lack of smoke cloud). I do not apologise for the rev limitering of a cold engine, that was intentional and just me being a dick/me (I like the sound :-P). You will like this though, serves me right: It had NO oil in it. Cruised through to the shore and light was flickering by the time we got off at constellation drive, pulled straight over and put 3.5 litres in it LOL. Woops. Tough engines these old 4g63s :-D

 

PS, damn good to see sparky! :-)

 

And a themed video for the evening:

:-P

 

And I got home to my kit for driving these silly injectors, no more 6am crash starts :-D

Cheers for all the positive comments from those I did speak to

I didn't get a good look at your ride, but my bro Ryan and his missus Holly raved about it, hope to check it out next time, from your build thread it looks wicked!

Taking me seriously is the last thing I'd want anyone to do, Opo! I object to the term "retard" though, that's insensitive to those people a few beers short of a six-pack (or a few rekorderligs short of an apple tree, for that matter!), and in fact also to the 28 degrees of advance that I was running. :-P

 

Seriously, though, (not that I'd take myself seriously either, but...) there's no OS sticker on the car and you've told me time and again that it's not OS anyway, so realistically it didn't draw any negative attention to anyone except the hairy driver of it, and he's clearly no one to take seriously anyway. In contrast to this, half the OS cars are louder at idle than my tin can is at 5800. Additionally, "keep it clean and leave the meet in a civilised fashion like grownups" must consist of accelerating strongly between the little road and the left hand corner, as that's what most people (except me) did while leaving (I didn't even hit 50 until after the corner). I'll try to conform in future by clipping the rev limiter in gear like everyone else :-P

 

Since when are the meets weekly? That's a little excessive, don't ya think? :-D

 

Last time there was a rev limiter hit at an Auckland event I attended it involved no exhaust and flames and beer and a huge round of applause from EVERYONE, my, how times have changed!

How about instead of a smug reply you just behave better next time.

Theres a time and a place, monthly meets are neither.

Surely its not hard to understand how driving like a dick could lose us the carpark access.

People dont need to know its OS to know that they dont want cars there anymore if people are acting up.

Its really boring having to explain this,thankfully the topic requires no further discussion as everyones going to behave appropriately next time.

Nice looking flares. Hard to do well on 4d. Hope to get a better look next month.

Cheers!!! They probably not as nice under closer inspection as you may be thinking but they do the job (mostly) for the fat feet that are on it.  The whole car is a little rough really but as with everything else its a work in progress  :)
