Surge tank in boot... probably would have been good to take a photo before putting the lid on.

I was going to put some in my car, but found some genuine Snake Oil for a few bucks less. P.S. Apologies for the predictable comment.

There are loads of events at loads of tracks all the time... where are you looking exactly?

That will happen with a too sticky tire as well... for 03g a hard compound is needed... mediums will turn to butter in 3 hot laps and leave vast amounts of rubber spaghetti all over the track and the inside of the rims and up in the wheel wells

Talk to Neil at Neil's Wheels for a most likely better opinion.

The RE003 is also a street tyre... I thought you wanted a street tyre that will be ok for a track day as well? If you want an actual race tyre... just get some Dunlop 03Gs and be done.

Can't see the image. Aren't you supposed to be auto-crossing today?

That's good, I thought you were being a bit of a tosser buying those new

Yeah, I'm on my third... never had much inclination to get a more recent model... though I did quite like the v10 when it first came out.

I've never driven one and know they have quite a bit of weight over a gc8, but pretty sure they can be made to haul ass with a decent tune.

Very expensive if you paid anywhere near retail... I hope they both stick well and last a long time!

Just had a hydraulic handbrake mounted... need to hook it up still. Also had a fireproof lid for the spare wheel well made up so I can put a surge tank and external pump etc in there without having to seal the whole boot off. And finally had a proper diversion plate and radiator mount made... the radiator has until now just been sitting on rubber feet and cable tied in at the top... with foil tape to keep the air in.

Before you buy anything talk to Neil at Neil's Wheels. He supplies lots of clubsports people in Wellington and will be able to give you good advice and prices. 027 248 3979

You can strip all the interior trim you like apart from the front door cards... though you could make some lighter ones if you wanted. No need for a cert for a roll cage but it needs to be msnz homologated and you will need an msnz authority card. I don't know if any bolt in option is road legal or allowed to enter msnz evetns. Coilovers will need a cert obviously.

You want the biggest gap you can get away with before it misfires. .8 should be fine as thunda said.

The iridium plugs are long life... I use NGK V-Power 7s.

Nice. Are you upgrading to go to e85 or just want a bigger range of injectors to choose from? Did you get the magical dampers?

What injectors can you put in them? Are all top feed injectors the same fitment?

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec will be my next road/track tyre.

On my wrx the seal on the PS pump reservoir lid leaks a bit and there is always residue around the area... I just spray it with brake cleaner every now and then... maybe that's all it is @pappu?... and maybe that's a common thing and not worth mentioning in a report? Just speculating.

If companies that did inspections were held liable for anything that went wrong after the inspection, there would be none in business. It's completely unviable. I have learned that most mechanics can not be trusted completely. None will care for your car like you do. That's a very sad and pessimistic view I know. When I find a good mechanic I hold on to them with both hands.

What exactly are you expecting the company that did the inspection to do? Pay you the difference of what you claim you could have bought the car for? Pay for any repairs you deem necessary? I really think your are being unrealistic and hopefully have learned not to purchase a car that you haven't looked at yourself or by someone you know you can trust. I think that all you could reasonably expect to get from them is a refund for their poor service and maybe an apology... if you care.

And the running gear will feel heavier.

Because it's still a race car with many race car modifications and used for racing?
