should bring yours down, although its a long trip for just a sprint.

sorted lots of issues with the car, so should be good, along with the new exhaust and brakes should go and sound just as good

Got that right, maybe I'll just bring it for the drive

I was at Puke a couple of weeks ago and you could hear my exhaust over all the other cars, even on the back straight (and I was listening from the pits 8O ) so I think I'll have to do something about that!

I'll try and make it but can't guarantee anything...

Ill be there for a bit of testing, trying to set up some new adjustable suspension, already was handling good so hopefully it is not a backward step but I want more flexibility for different conditions.

Great days racing although a few offs. I think someone on here may be after some cheap silver prelude panels. Awesome rd but off the race line it was very slippery, going sideways at 165kmh isnt to much fun in a fwd but we pulled it off with another class win.

Yeah but take it from me - if you don't take a spare set your tyres start to cost a bit

Mind you you're probably not travelling three hours+ to get to events!
