Haven't updated in a while but, I bought yet another set of wheels

Also managed to track the car (on the previous set of wheels) at Winton. Managed a best time of 1.57:270

cheers

Looks good Truong :)

Those wheels from Ray yeah?

[and1]

Wow you and Alex go through rims like anything.

Tell me where are you getting these wheels from?

[dorifto]

Me and Alex are wheel sluts :P

Most of my wheels come from Japan, this set I bought locally (and it cost me a small fortune :()

Alex, yeh I got them of Ray

[dorifto]

Went to Winton, it's actually my second time there

Went almost 3 seconds faster than my previous PB. Currently 1.54:55

[dwee.]

haha thanks Peter. I can't remember what was happening Thursday night, just on my way home from work I guess.

whitestivo: do you mean i.e less hooning ect? If so then I don't max speed runs and egg people to race. Cars' too slow for that. The circuit is different since it's down to the drivers ability to go fast, pending the specs of the car. Thanks for the compliment. There will be more track days to come.

Another week, another track day. Last week was Winton Raceway, in the wet.

[dorifto]

small update

Changed the front end abit, from this...

...to this

Added a (Series 2) GTi grille and a Cressida MX73 lip

GAB front brace arrived so fitted that as well

Car is going in for a servicing/radiator flush soon. Replaced the front wheel bearings and rotors with new items but my second hand driveshafts seem to have carked it already, not happy. Racing in Febuary and contemplating about doing Winton on the 26th. Thats about it.

Thanks for looking

Brand new... balanced drive shaft, ADR approved custom made braided brake lines (front) and Penrite Sin racing fluid. Back to Winton in 3 weeks.

thanks all

If the weather holds up on Monday, I'm hoping to crack a sub 1.50 time with semi slicks

[dorifto]

Car goes 1.50.0860 with Advan A048 semis - minor issue with brakes and weather. Got held up by evo 9 driver on the 24th lap, lap 23 was my quickest when the slow coach came out. Devastated.

[14NKN]

[johnnieboi]

Oh yeh, it's not a track-dedicated car. It's my daily, I take of the front plate to get more air thru the oil cooler.
