So I spoke to Peter the owner of Textralia today.  Nice bloke, very easy to work with and very understandable.  Explained what was going on and he is more than happy for me to send the disk back with all the parts that failed and he’s going to send me out a brand new unsprung clutch disk to replace my broken one.

before I purchased the clutch o…[Read more]

Thanks for the helpful information.  I’m about to give them a ring now.  I’ll keep you all up to date with what’s going on.

So I had my z-grip clutch let go the other day after only 18 months of duty.  It seems the rivets holding the sprung centre to the clutch plate have let go.  The flywheel, pressure plate and clutch pads are all in perfect condition.  It was working absolutely perfectly without any dramas at all and showing no signs of giving up the ghost and th…[Read more]

She went back on the road January 2015.  There is a slight difference between the VT/VX and VY/VZ sump.  Improved have had a baffle for the VY/VZ sump for a while but it wouldnt fit a VT/VX sump, it was only recently that they released a baffle for the VT/VX sump.

Yeah we had a couple of good races.  The VN sounds so tough!!   I still rate the lokka, does the job i need it to do perfectly.  Backlash can be noticable at times but only in tight carparks.  Im the sort of person that will deal with most things if it meets a purpose, but if you’re keen you can take her for a test drive to test the lokk…[Read more]

I was meaning to update this just before and now since Matsuri finished but ive been lazy.

Finished off my Prep for Matsuri on the afternoon of Sign-in.

Picked up my tyre supply

Stripped down the front suspension

The old LCAs, knuckles and hubs

K-frame out for some modding and a clean

New modified VZ knuckles

Sump off, ASR…[Read more]

It never axle tramped until I put the Lokka in it and it only tramps in a straight line, never sideways.  But it doesn’t always axle tramp in a straight line, I think it’s dependent on wheel speed or how aggressive the initiation is.  And I’m not to sure but I don’t think I remember it tramping from a standstill, only when rolling first.

So… ive been pretty slack since my last post.  Just been driving her around everywhere and hitting a few friday night drift sessions.

But i managed to pick myself up another Matsuri ticket, for the Autumn event this time.  Its in 2 weeks and ive just started prepping.  I still have to put the sump baffle in and change the sump gasket and ro…[Read more]

All good Gary   I think it’s just the way the first comment read that annoyed me as I’ve seen a few people allude to the same thing.  Both times it was almost certain that Jamie would not have won if he followed orders so to say he’s finding a way to lose isn’t fair… Both times he was trying his hardest to win! That was probably my wh…[Read more]

Sorry Gary but I don’t see where in my post I was getting worked up??  And I wasn’t talking specifically about racing, I was just trying to give you a perspective of what it’s like at the top level, it’s completely different to any other level of competition.

ive competed at the top level for over 10 years now and I’ve seen and been in these…[Read more]

Have you competed at a Professional level in the biggest event for that activity?  I have and your mind is racing and you don’t settle for 2nd, that’s why Jamie is where he is.  Sometimes it doesn’t pull off the way you’d like and youre gutted but you know you gave it your all!

Just to look at it from Jamie’s perspective… Where do you think b…[Read more]

Something that might interest you. Would be a mean little package even with just a standard ls1.
