Have you guys seen this, pure perfection!!!!! www.tunerzine.com/articles.asp?id=188As for the RX7, Rick Shaw knows his stuff!! should be a weapon!! In wonder what it went for?? couple of grand??

I've seen it before, very nice car, love the ZG flares look. Might have to get a set sometime down the track. Would be handy to be able to fit some wider rubber under the old girl.
Not sure what the RX-7 went for. Only price I heard was $3K for the Brembo 8 spots!
Got the Z run in but it was slightly overboosting (had to run it in using throttle pressure to control the boost so that wasn't ideal). Found a crack in the wastegate diaphragm so I'm now trying to chase one up but the wastegate has no markings on it at all!

The curse of the no name wastegate....I'd try the Family Clinic for the.....no, no, no this is a family forum..Yeah ZG flairs would be very good!!
I've entered the Regularity thingy at Symmons on the 14th, sounds like I should be sponsored by 'All Bran', Hmm I might just write a letter, While I'm at it I might send one to 'Sorbent" as well.....Can't wait.

I think I'll leave those comments alone Bluerat. It might get a bit messy............ Found out my wastegate was made by Garrett. Also found out they stopped making them 7 years ago and don't make parts for them anymore............. Andy, we haven't had many meeting in the south cause most the members are from the north end of the state. We do have a few more from the south now so maybe we should look at organising something soon. Summer is always a good time to go for a drive In other news, I got my license back yesterday ;D

Was looking at buying dato510's project but needed to know the details of the repair bill on mine and the panel beater took to long getting back to me so missed out . I will get the other car going for a club racer then have a look at what is around or repair the one i have would like to buy the orange one that has been on ebay for last couple of months but atm i need to finish the house so see what happens then.

The photo was taken in '98......so it might be still on the road?? funny ninety eight does not seem that long ago...The white Bluebird had my brothers old 2.4 fitted, and my option 1 came out of the dark blue 200B behind it.....
Gee Boost, bugger the house!! You can't race a new Bathroom....Mind you, keeping the Mrs happy is important for the budget...I'm very lucky, mine keep's on to me about a new bigger shed...and a turbo flat tray Cruiser...

I think i need to explain this setup better!!!!! Reno on the other house to sell better house = more dollar = better race car all works in my favor oh and the missus can have a new car as well hope to buy something like the orange circuit car that has been on ebay of late makes the long nights and days worth it.

So did everybody have fun yesterday? I was disapointed with the car but had fun and had some good racing. I think I ended up 2nd in the end so can't complain. Bluerat is in the search for a crew member to specialise in refueling. Sorry mate, couldn't help myself DatsunLtd, Your dad's clubman went well. Did he end up winning the regularity?

Hey, I didn't run out, I went close!! I was to busy Yacking, not busy enough re-filling!! I used 40l at $2.50 a litre!! I might have to put a L16 back in it!!
What a blast!! The best $70 I've spent!! Thanks to 510racer and B10wagon for talking me into it!! Man it was fun carving up those British 'Sports ' cars!! I'm still grinning! I didn't take the regularity bit to seriously!! I was 4 seconds a lap quicker than my nominated time, oh well next time. Wombat and Boost, you better get something going for next year!!
How are you looking in the series Scando??
Anyone else keen for the NWCC clubday on the 28th?? I better get to work, catch Ya!

I think Bluerat only pretended to be low on fuel so he could start off the back. Looked like fun going back through the field! Unless Mark Perry has trouble at Baskerville he has the series in the bag. The good news is that unless I have trouble then I'll get 2nd

Rule Britania! By Golly, Thats one cheeky MG owner B10!!!, considering I was 10-11 seconds a lap faster. Maybe he needs a cup of tea and a good lie down, or sell the BMC and buy a Datsun Sports 2000!!!
Anyway B10 wagon, did you enjoy your self on the weekend, 510racer looked to be going well with the Vee, I loved the rims on it. They look like there is an art in driving them.
Sold that house yet Boost? Tell me next time your coming to an event and I'll make sure I bring some Chocky cake.

the bloke with the MG just bought himself a 3 litre twin turbo jza80 supra so i think he might even be selling the MG i had a good day i think i was running 6-7 seconds a lap under my nominated time so i lost most of my points i just wanted to get in front of the mgs you seemed to be up there with the points being very consistent. i deno what it is with the vees i think that youve just got to keep your corner speed so that you can draught off the car in front

The Supra will open his eyes......they sure are a tough jigger!! I'm sure he will enjoy a flyby on the Rat!! So why 6-7 laps quicker? Driver or car or both? coming up on Sunday for a run??you would give class A a shake up! My times were consistant but 4 seconds faster than my nominated times, oh well.
I've never driven a Vee, but from what I've read it's all about corner speed, I sure James will sort it out. They would be a blast around Baskerville!
