Stilo ST Quattro Rally Helmet for me please.

p.s. its illegal to wear a helmet in a car on public roads... the police don't accept the answer of i was just testing to see how it felt as an answer.

Nah my friends where in the Trump - i was in my friends mk2 golf done up like the delorean. There is a mix of 3 peoples photos there.

I think everyone should own a 205 at some point...

tsk tsk tsk all you haters

Jack - you need to buy this! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-346248008.htm

Depends what type of helmet you want. Cardwells do sparco and Bell and few other brands. Stilo and Peltor are anouther good brand mainly used by rally guy and offshore powerboaters. If you looking at doing rally stuff (targa) then i would look at getting something with an inbuilt intercom that will plug directly into your amp. Motorsport NZ have a decent online regs section now, so you can see what helmets regulations are. Something to think about is open faced or close faced. Every helmet fits differently so try them all on, some helmets fit different head shapes better. http://www.revolutionracegear.co.nz/ - Aria, Stilo, Bell http://www.namsport.co.nz/race-rally-helmets/ - Stilo and Peltor http://www.palmside.co.nz/product_cid_10788.html - OMP, Sabelt, Stilo http://www.racetech.co.nz/racetech.shop/in...ex&cPath=81 - Aria, Stilo In saying that 90% of people just use a motorcycle helmet thats under $200 if all their going to do is trackday stuff... Just make sure it's got a double D clasp not a plastic slide lock, and meets the euro E standard. http://www.motorsport.org.nz/assets/MotorS...-Sch-A-2010.pdf - page 10 for rules, page 47 for fitment guide. You should also take into consideration if your going to get a HANS device in the near future as a lot of helmets DO NOT have the attachments for the HANS device. Other things to concider when getting a proper motorsport helmet is that you can get visor less helmets for in car also. They typically have a small peak like a motorcross helmet with a sun visor on it, you can get wide eye port version for better vision.

<does a happy dance>

Clinton - my friend is a mechanic for Porsche at Conti's... If your booking it in for an inspection let me know and i'll see if i can get him to do it and give it a hell of a going over.

this probably wouldn't have enough grunt for your battery but a trickle charger that works like this would be good: XS800 CTek charger - http://www.batterydirect.co.nz/bi596.htm Your ideal maintenance charger - Set and Forget - IP65 Rated The XS 800 is above all an optimal maintenance charger for seasonal vehicles with batteries up to 100Ah.

glad you didn't swap over the master for no reason...

Grant - when you pump the pedal with the engine off you get a nice firm pedal, if you keep your foot firmly on the pedal it's not moving to the floor board. I was always told that was an easy way to test if your master or caliper is leaking as you would loose pressure if they where and the pedal would move to the floor with the pressure loss. There is/was really really old fluid - it was coming out british racing green/forest green - and the plastic filter thingamajig was left in giving the impression that the master was full when it was empty so a fair bit of air was sucked into the system before it was removed and fluid could freely pour in. Jack's just going to need to play chase the bubbles.

if you need a hand let me know... 021389993 - if it's not raining i'll bring over the 205

Patron Tequila liquor = good

you know to never ever ever trust a jack... i've seen 3 trolly jacks fail.

my friends 205 racecar for 5k

Pre-facelift lips for me please@@@!#@#!@*&^%*&^!%@*^%!*&@^# i need to cut up some more bmw stuff

Painting is nice and makes you feel good when you have stuff off the car... If you don't need to remove it don't bother just to paint it... Unless you put the car on your roof, no one is going to see it - unless your #14... Your disc's are worrying me... Are you buying vented discs (see my post above) or are you getting non-vented disc's machines to have vents????

They will keep my race tyres company under the house.

I wouldn't bother with getting them "Vented" they arn't all that thick and wouldn't work properly... http://bremboaftermarket.com/en/Car_Disc_C...lIDMaster=12735 - 325i = 22mm http://bremboaftermarket.com/en/Car_Disc_C...lIDMaster=12614 - 318i = 12.7mm I think your confusing vented with slotted or cross-drilled. vented vs non-vented: slotted: cross-drilled:

Brams if you need them stored i'm in northcote. The 406 is out of action at the moment but i could drop them off in the 205 on the weekend or to Mr. Indecorous. 4 x 15 race wheels fit in there with the cage so i'd assume that yours would also.

Tristan that look epic man... good work.

Auckland University Car Club = $10 a year NZMS Clubsport license = $60 a year Auth Card + Log Book = can't remember but i need to renew mine (yearly fee renewed on the date of license also) Basic clubsport events you DO NOT NEED A CAGE to compete in them, this includes some hillclimb events, bent sprints, motorkhana's, and gymkhana's. There was a guy at the Ngutunui Tarmac Hillclimb 2 years ago in a 08 M5. You require a fire extinguisher, 100% cotton overalls, and a helmet basically. Lots of events like this around the country - the HCCC (Harbour Capital Car Club) run THE PHOTOWORKS AUTOCROSS CHALLENGE which is a great way to get into competitive motorsport cheapy. Hillclimb and bent sprints are road driving, they close the road and you see how fast you can drive a section of NZ finest public road. You don't always need a road legal car for these events but it is recommend.

The more you do something the easier it gets.
