Hey guys,

Not that it matters much, but I won't be attending - just haven't had time to tidy up enough and sort out anything that can melt.

That and this week has just been less than ordinary.

Open practice days are another (cheaper) option.

Hm... well I did just learn how to drive manual in April/May lol. All I did was whinge to Matt all day about not being able to heel toe. I didnt like how the car was jerking so much if i was just to down-gear normally while braking.

I gave Matt the keys to my car and he only got 3 laps in the car but he was having the time of his life. First lap he was understeering a lot in the corners and I had to tell him to go full throttle otherwise the car would keep understeering haha. But thats how I was when I first got the car, being so used to driving rwd.

Yeh fun day!

Well, whose up for December 1st?!

Wow, hot and windy and very busy (80 cars?!?), but I had a fantastic day.

Thanks Trev for the drive of the DC2R, I understand what all the fuss is about these cars. Total track weapon, and so 'rear wheel drivy' for a FF car. Amazing.

Thanks to Glenn (he knows, he scored a big hug from me :lol: ) for the entire session I got to spend in his track-spec MR2 GT. Suspension was all setup and corner balanced etc, perfect offset wheels (optional on Toyota RAV!) and a forged-everything Group N spec block prepared by Neil Bates. TRD Short shifter and the nice familiar feel of the TRD leather gearknob. Stripped out, it was running 1 bar of boost, and RE55S. So, SO awesome!!! I managed a (hand timed) 1:15 in this car quite easily, and it had sooo much more in it. With the RE55S semi-slicks, I felt like an absolute driving god!! Probably the most impressive thing about the car, followed by the unbelievable throttle response. Best turbo car I have driven by a long shot, renewed my faith in turbo cars to be honest.

Primarily though, had an absolute ball in my car, including a proper all wheels slideways entry into Turn 10 on my second session (Black200 style). These 16's really had little grip, and I experienced pretty significant 'under under under' steer for the first time. But, despite the fronts starting to melt, I managed a 1:21:65 in my final session of the day which I'm happy with. Got to love the Altezza chassis.

Had some good laps with an MX5 and an XR6 Turbo, and while I was hooning aroudn in the MR2 Glenn had a nice battle in my car with a 325ci. After the 325ci (illegally) went up the inside of Glenn, all will be pleased to hear that the BMW was despatched in the same fashion on the following lap :D

Here's the MR2:

This is good words man, makes me have more faith in the SW20! 1:15 in that car after doing a 21 in yours is a biiiig difference man!

Also, it was good to see you guys again!! Man I wish my car was finished, but it def was too packed yesterday. Also Im def down for an open day!

Ok, Glenn needs a Write up on his SW20 please! hahaha. Where did he get the suspension work done?

East Coast Suspensions. He had a whole host of SW20 suspension parts, he just gave them all to East Coast with the car and asked them to 'sort it out'.

It worked!

December 1st is the next one, and bookings open soon... so be prepared to avoid dissapointment!! Narada has promised it will be a smaller day for the next one. If we can get enough cars in, we can have our own group. THAT would be cool!

I'm interested only if the number of attendees are lower.

Matt any idea what kind of numbers they're looking at this time?

Supposed to be lower this time. Narada is in the throws of establishing his new office (Karl 'Storms of Fate' was over there assembling Ikea furniture with him yesterday).
Will post up here AS SOON as bookings open.
