Ages ago i managed to get a hold of a spare valance for the front bumper as i was going to make a new lip for it, after hunting around i thought that an e30 lip might work ok. I was kindly given a E30 Pre-Facelift lip free to do what i wanted with... So last night i cut it up and made this: It still needs a bit of work and to be painted but it's about 90% done.

7 cents

how much for one of those roof lockers?

It's ok i was standing next to a bigger guy with a bigger camera - so they would be drawn to him first...

As one old school rally guy told me: "Drifting is just rally for the cotton wool generation"

r-studio might be able recover the data depending on how the disc is damaged. Partition Magic is also another piece of software that you can use.

screw the gsr, screw the bmw, get a 205 gti - and own a classic!

depends if it's the female officer you get in the backseat or not...

like you did at the track on cold tyres in the dry? End of the day if the BMW was slammed on mags, with tints and an exhaust it would no doubt get the same attention as the gsr because of the owners age. If you want a quick car get the gsr, just be aware the ride will not be as comfortable as the BMW. If you want to own a 4wd turbo car, go for it. If you want own a cruiser get the BMW. I'd highly recommend getting a crappy car and putting it under your own name for insurance, this gets you a history and no claims bonuses so when your a little older and you get more powerful cars it's cheaper and you have an insurance history which makes it easier.

why not arrange a dunners meet?

Better question... What do YOU want from a car?

Racetech and Palmside have great service!

I'm not actually doing the work Cam, it's one of the guys i know thats taken it on as a challenge... You might know him, Frans - he races a blue Renault Gordini. The windage tray is actually the strengthening plate for the block which is factory for the car, on the 306 S16 they came factory with a windage plate. In the MI16's there is just an open hole with 2 braces across them. People buy the windage tray seperately and attach it to the MI16 spacer as a mod... which you can see below (note it's had the 2 factory brakes replaced with a 3 brace setup) vs Factory Setup The one Frans is doing will attach from the bottom.

Project don't kill the engine at Hampton Down's is underway and making progress...

Most insurance companies i checked with do not cover trackdays/driver training sessions. Check with your insurance, unless you know for a FACT!

Fiat Car Club had their dual car sprints at Taupo on the weekend, One car had an engine bay fire... Fortunately another competitor stopped to help and with both of them they got the fire out with very minor damage.
