Daveman, please don't give up on supersprinting or whatever because these people were obviously disorganised. Maybe they didn't have enough people helping them. You admit it was to you're advantage to be in the 'training' session, cause you got a clear track. & as for the comment about the car, some people just can't see past the hype about a particular car (WRX,GTR). Funniest thing I've seen lately was my mate in the Silver Sunny passing all the WRX's at Eastern Creek in the rain at a Supersprint, usually sideways. It's unfortunate about your friends MR2, maybe you can persuade him to buy a 'Beater' to use in these sort of things, sort of like a 1200, like you've got.

I think it was $180 for entry but if you want to talk total costs then it's much higher. You've got to factor in fresh fluids (oil, brake) and the petrol down there and back plus what you burn on the day. You need your club membership ($40) and cams L2S licence ($100) which are yearly. Tyres are a killer because if you run on streets you'll put 12months worth wear on them in one day at the track or you run with R-spec tyres which are up to and over $300 per corner but you should get 10+ track days out of.

It really is an expensive past time which is why it's so frustrating when you only get 10 laps in a day out! I'm hanging for the K-Rudd racing fund to show up!

how much does it cost to do a track day in a car at philp island?

Not sure about the part number for the koni's but they came out of a coupe. Since I've got them mounted vertically rather than 45 degreees they are probably a bit stiff.

what konis are you running in the back?

in such a small light car i couldnt agree more with your ideas, especially after seeing boofs little a12, handles great and with only that a12... it shows its not always about power.

what lcas did you mod? or buy? i saw the maddat ones but $$$

Rezlo - The car has stanza struts cut down for a 240z inserts and adjustable height platforms with camber tops. The rear is just a reset stock leaf with an extra leaf added with koni shocks. It's got extended lower control arms for more camber (unfam) and extra caster. Front brakes are 60 series landcruiser and in the rear I've got an R31 28-spline diff with mini-spool centre and corresponding brakes.

Engine is a pretty standard CA18 turbo with somewhere around 140-150kw at the wheels. Not big numbers but once you have that sort of power I believe the best bang for buck is doing suspension and brake mods when searching for track times.

yeah i would love to know how you got that much camber on the fronts, im looking at going back to stanza ball joints, these 120y ones although reducing track make the neg camber rubbish.

Your supposed to blame oil leaks on other brands of cars

Any where that I can find spec's of your car? looks real nice, keen to see what suspension and drive line your running.

Well done spotting the rims while moving! yeah the weather probably did give it a bit more poke.

dd - The scrutineering is not that tough, they give me a hard time because the car is old but the car that actually dropped the oil was a late model R34 skyline which breezes through because it's so new.
