That's comforting :)

I'd have thought it would be full track anyway? Or we gunna get the "we need more money cause we spent 238432$ on extending it so you get track extension tax sads again?

Danwoman has confirmed he is in so should see some money from him and I gotta send some your way to.

I'll update the list. Give your skyline buddies a hoy and see if they're keen :)

Some information I received last night suggests that time is his only restraint now. However I've seen him work and I'm loudly confident... :D

I Jonno edited this to make it more relevant.
Amys not keen on racing but I'm trying to put the hard word on her lol

[Umm just so everyone is clear, Jonno edited my above post and I'm not in any way publicly putting the hard word on Amy...]

Lol sorry I fixed it. Bevan doesn't sound like he can afford to race so I've removed him from the list to

Nicholas Martin is pretty sure his old man Andrew is keen to join the hillclimb, hes wandering if he needs to pay before hand or if he can pay on the day. Nicholas and his brother Ken were driving their dads gem last year at the cruise, the bright orange rally gem.

Cheers guys

If everyone could pay well before then that saves me many headaches. Previously anyone who has to pay on the day I pay for so the cost of the track is covered, then hope they turn up. :(

I was talking to the other Sam earlier.

Here's my list:

It’s just a case of

Fix my diff/axle issue to begin with.

Switch out springs in the front cause they scrub at full lock especially terrible when it’s got a car load of people in it. (I may need better shocks?)
New pair of tyres for the rear which I’ll rotate to the front cause the fronts scrub real bad now with the new ones.
Fix the brake lines and hand brake
Plate up the hole in the trans and engine bay when the thermo comes on it turns into an oven 
Which thinking about it now penate hill road stop go with that turning on and off I’ll probably rage quit.
Sus clutch
Heat wrap the manifold and lines
02 sensor into the exhaust
Re-Tune.

Wouldn’t mind trying to get the speedo calibrated as well. Seems to be 10-20ks out of wack.
I’ll be cruising at 100 and then some dude will fly past me 

It’s not a hugely unachievable list just those little things that bite you on the ass...

If it makes you feel better Jonno, first falls out of gear with no load, 3rd pops out under load, 2nd cruches on occasion. Also, nsw has double demerits during easter long weekend, might want to run a gos for accurate speedo.

Lol I think there simple issues man.
Yeah good point I might see if I can sus something.

It says I'm going faster than I am so if I'm doing 100 apparently I'm doing 87.

I'll boot up the eBay and see what I can find. Did you get onto Nicholas or Andrew?
