Hey QD180,

I would definately be keen, the notice is a little too short this time though. Let us know if and when you head back to Wakefield and I'll organise a few blokes to cruise up from Canberra.

Well.....i made it with no real Drama's (apart from running clean off at turn 8) on the very 1st warm up lap mind you :headbang:

Screaming rolla came down to check out the festivities and to take some photos. (hope you can post once you get the chance)

I couldnt talk Red Rhino into coming but hay next time.... :P

The 180 handle's like a train on rails :banana:

With progressive rear end slide and minor understeer!!!! :)

Power down and esp off the car has just the right amount of HP's all 180 of them to really challenge your skills....

The car really doesnt need anymore power!!! there was times when the power did overwhelm the tyres....

Now Lap times :) :) :)

I had 5 sessions throughout the day and slowly worked my best time down to a 1m15...... (hand timed at the start/finish line)

Ive never been on the track in a car (plently of times on a bike) so i think based on the lap time records on the wakefield web page the little Pug on "Fairly" worn road Pirellis :cry: did pretty well for itself :joker:

Heres somwe times from the site...

GT Production Cars B Nathan Thomas 1:10.1863

06/05/2001 Honda Integra Type-R

National Class Bikes Production Superbike Murray Clarke 1:03.49 04/03/01 1000 Yamaha R1

Mirage Warren Luff 1:10.0956 29/10/2000 Mitsubishi Marage

Porsche Cup GT3 Martin Wagg 1:03.7864 25/02/2001 Porsche GT3

Had heaps of fun :evil:

My buddies who where in a Prelude VTI and and Nissan 200SX where lapping roughly the same pace...

There was one lap when the 180 and 200SX dragged down the front straight neck and neck...the 180 can really keep up with Turbos hehe :wink2:

Next time though the 200SX stuffed its exit from the last turn onto the straight and i caught and passed him (much to my delight) by the start finish line......

Day was really fun and i hope that next time more can join the Fun

:D No not yet....... havent had the pleasure....

Too be honest dont see too many on the roads

On a track i doubt there would be a massive difference on the street if the Type R was stock its would be real interesting (i haven modified mine)

the 180 was pretty quick round the corners and not to bad in a straight line, they were fairly even the prelude had a bit more down the straight but it only went out for two sessions as it was using a fair bit of oil and he had none to replace it

When is it your turn mate to show em Stivo power!? :P I reckon it will be a very exciting battle after watching Leanne Ferrier in GTP yesterday.

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Did you end up getting a head unit for the Rav4? I'm thinking of purchasing one from eBay for my 2015 Rav4.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Hi all ,new member here. Just wanted to introduced myself and show off my new to me 1983 Celica 2.0 XT liftback. Got from the original lady owner who had it for 41 years! It's had 2 sets of seat covers on the front seats and when I removed them the seats are like new. I'm over the moon with it. I'm southside of Brisbane if anyone is local......

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Thanks, Mate - i'll give it a go. As you say, $15 is better than replacing a damaged headlight (not to mention the aggravation).
