So disappointingly it happened.. ticked over 200,000km. disappointed as I wanted to do it at the track!!

Right so took the car in to get better rotors on the rear.. turns out you can’t get the DBA t3 for VS IRS so mechanic got T2 slotted. I thought this would be great but after getting it home, they are still solid rotors, not vented. I…[Read more]

I’ve been practicing a bit and starting to get it. Highway off ramps seem to be the best place to practice in day to day driving. Had the car at the shop so asked the mechanic to bend the pedal across. Well he got in the car and just bent it across… well if I knew it was going to be that easy… this was s’arvo so havn’t taken it for a cruise yet.

Geez, used it, thought i would take a pic, but didn’t think to take an action shot! next time

what about the “Notify me of follow up replies via email” – this has never worked for me..

I ended up getting this one from Total Tools for $230, it does look sexier in real like. Will take another pic.

Costco do have Alcan 1800kg low profile trolley jacks for $170 but it’s $60 to be a member..

ok booked in for track training day (with my own car) on Oct 15th with Paul Stokell’s driving events company, at Queensland Raceway / Willowbank. Hopefully can get them to help me with swaybar settings..

Jaba just running standard suspension settings, but I have the camber kit in the rear to fix the IRS up.

Once I get the swaybars dialled in, i’ll look for something else to play with

I do remember you mentioning it before in my old “VS Brake Upgrades” thread, will keep it in mind… Next event i’m going to a Paul Stokell track training day, so hoping to get some tips on car upgrade roadmap… need to get a few more track days under my belt before I start messing with things too much. I’m sure it’ll take a while just to find…[Read more]

yep, the blade ones. unsure if you need to drop the sub frame. mechanic made it sound easy, will let you know.

also ditching the solid rear rotors for DBA T2 vented slotted rotors… i’m sure they’ll work greart when compared to the solids… http://www.dba.com.au/products/street-performance/t2-slot/

considering oil catch can (but the motor is…[Read more]

so car was at the shop today. mechanic said the booster was dry and no signs of internal leakage. he did a check  over and said that he couldn’t find any leaks. he reckons it’s the pistons wearing in… I have not checked how much i have worn the pads.. I never touched the fluid before, but I do have twin piston and VT master now… !?!?

Did two…[Read more]
