Funny how said person was actually understaffed (as he is the properitor of the business) so he had to work on the day.



People where signing up on the day ... and after the first sprint rounds had finished. The black Civic was not scheduled to run but we conned him into giving it a go as that was what the day was all about



You might want to check that time champ ... if he does a 56 a certain person on this forum would sure like to know about it

WHITE R32

why dont we just have an open boostcruising track day with something like 50 cars... no preferred makes.. just go out and have a blast!!!!

time is right, it would hold the record for improved producton if was done at a cams meet, the car hold the records for mt cotton hillclime for up to 1300, 1300 to 2lt, and is just off the record 2lt to 3lt, but only ran at test and tunes for QR so no record more use the track for testing than racing, also did a 40 second lap at getton sprints 2 years ago. send a pm who ever wants to know more.

ONE600

damn jamie! looks like swaybars should be next on ur shopping list. ur rolling like my bros pie van

180GO

Wow! thats awesome! much respect dude.
I'm not sure that my 180 would run a 40 sec at Gatton but my old GTR ran 37.6 at Gatton same year as you, 2 years ago. Do you have a pic of the car? cause I don't remember it.

Hey Rob was your Dad, or still is, into gas powered R/C cars? I worked at Hobby One for five years and sorta remember that black crx...he had a Ferarri at the time?

GTRVspec95

Thats the bad thing Robbie ... I HAVE Sway bars in there

Didn't adjust the coilover stiffness on the day which I should of done

More suspension and cooling work will be done before I get back on thou

Looks like you guys had loads of fun! Hopefully if another event is organised i will be able to join in and have a good time also

Great to see the positive feedback and thanks heaps guys. You were all great out there and I had a lotta fun organising it for you.

I was thinking of Honda Vs Nissan Vs Toyota next time...that could be good. I was also thinking of Nissan Vs Subaru....The GTRs and STis would be the battle of the century!

I'll get in touch with Keith and see when we can organise it for the second half of the year so we can get our cars all prepped for it in time. I'll be back to you in due course with an update so stay tuned

ThunderBolt

I think it must be Dave Homer's beast. That is the only swift that I can remember that holds records around Mt Cotton.

180GO

Geez it MUST be a beast! I love cars like that, and always seem to choose the side of the underdog. I'd pay money to see that thing whip an NSX type R or A or whatever the hell it is.... let alone an old crap 180

NISMO_31

Also put in Mitsubishi so we can get some GTR vs EVO vs STI action, then thats would be great to watch

GTRVspec95

A general 'Japanese Tuner' day would be good.

Then we can get John Tetley (Track owner) out in his FD3S to join in on the fun

HSV

All around jap day would be good. Theres two 90's here, another street 90 im sure wouldnt mind running, plus all the cressida/hachi boys as well.

angels666

I know a jap boy keen

BVC_Bullet

I'd like to see some SR and CA Datto Utes and Coupes out there.

RetardedMonkey

Under 500HP rules Pete out, haha.

Nah, a general Japanese Day would be just awesome.

Would neeed to be spread across a few days imo, so many entries!

markI

im ready to go
getting coilovers thursday - that should help!
have to think about some brakes....

NISMO_31

Jap tuner day

Might have to bring the coupe out to represent old school jap tuning, but I'll need the speed limiter removed first

angels666

Sif He lovesssssss QR

zuboo

Yep thats the car, when he first put the turbo on i started helping him with the car, and have not stoped working with since, hes showed me how to setup fwds to go fast and i give him a hand when needed, he is now starting with the new swift and wanted it to go to a good home, had the car for a few months now, i would have come down for a look or to try to get on but was racing at jam.

here is a vid of the car. Its 50mg but worth the watch it you like to see fwds kick ass

ONE600

Yea he still into it... probly even worst now haha... At least I dont have to worry when I get old

PKR

haha plenty of toys to play with! He was a really good customer of mine, spent a fortune on rc cars and stuff. I think you or ya bro used to drop in and get parts for him sometimes.

Tell him i said G'day name is Paul.

qwk_R6

ONE600

went for a shakedown with some semis this time on tuesday. We ran 60.5 on sprint

PKR

woohoo! up the Honda's!!!

Good one mate!

ONE600

We attended todays Saturday arvo sprints, new PB 59.6
I know u gona think im full of it but the engine is still stock, only with headers intake

We would of been 0.7 faster than the quickest nissan (R34 GTR) on the sprint layout.
Hope theres a next time soon!

PKR

You have just outpaced a heavily boosted flagship vehicle!

Time for a K20a

Well done!

17SON

Well done Rob. Good to see the Hondas doing what they do best on a racetrack

I'll get onto organising a friendly rematch between Nissan and Honda for sometime toward the 3rd quarter of the year. We all has such a great time last time and it was a successful day so lets all do it again

GTRVspec95

Hopefully there will be something better then a K20a going in there soon ...



I'll come out and play again Ash
