[BNE] Mid Week Mountain Run

[SecaBoy]

So, i'm gonna go on another run up nebo this Wednesday coming...

if anyone else is interested, let me know...

plan at this stage would be to meet at the loop at say 8pm and leave there 8.30 or 9.00... depends on what everyone wants to do...

i tend to keep to the speed limit up there, so if someone else wants to lead, i'm all for that... :)

I'm definitely up for this one. I said I would be originally. I think Mick would like to tag along as well... in my car.

I stick to the speed limit as well , but I'd be more than happy to lead... even though my tires aren't as grippy as they used to be.

[matt-starlet]

i would come along if i am able to tag along with someone starlet had a good hard run tonight so who wants me in their passenger seat??

[chicaboo]

My brakes and gearbox will be done by then, so I'm up for it.

Oops. Someone bumped this to the previous meets section a little too soon. Anyways, if no one is willing to give you a shotgun ride, I have a spare seat in the back if you're willing.

The deed is done. This is the biggest, most expensive "mod" I've ever done! *heart aches*

I'm 90% sure of collecting the car on Wednesday, if not by Thursday and I'll see you at the loop.

Ash you can follow me home one of these nights to get the strut bar.

I sometimes feel like that. Then I have this feeling of satisfaction to know that the car can withstand such a push, and I feel that she feels the same. I keep her happy by giving her good fuel and a nice bath twice a week.

I actually had a thought not too long ago about what would happen if I had a 2ZZ Rolla. I hear the occasional person saying that they only hit lift a couple of times/every now and again, such and such, and I think 'but lift is before redline, it should be built to handle it'. Man, if I had a 2ZZ, I'd be hitting lift every time I accelerate. After reading a bit of what people say, it seems like they would never think of such thing.

I do tend to give it a bit of a flogging. She still loves me. She's a bit of a fitness freak. She loves to go out for some intense training and feels satisfied knowing that she is tough.

Brake pads replaced and rotors machined, so it brakes heaps better. Royal Purple Synchromax feels a bit better than the Redline MTL+MT90 did. I also got the clutch adjustment done, but other than making the pedal engage closer to the floor (which I like), I'm not sure that has done as much as the Royal Purple has (which isn't that much). Well, some day when the clutch is dead I will chuck an LSD, Sillycar 6th gear-set and new synchros in, but no sooner... <_<

At least the car stops without groaning and grinding...

From Harold at www.performancelub.com , but you can go buy it from Autobarn too if you like.

If you buy and stuff from him, mention my name - Gavin Stapleton - so I can get some brownie points. :P

I think Gav was giving you an offer as well in the Brisbane Meet thread. I think Gav is a pretty killer driver. I think you'll get some more kicks going with him. Decisions, decisions. Your choice.

Don't get too excited. The grip on the tires ain't the same as they used to be. Either they really are wearing down, the cold road is not helping, or I'm so used to the car that pushing it hard doesn't feel so 'hard' anymore.
