Wez Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Do you have this one in colour as well, its a cracking photo and with photochop post processing using some colour splashed with B&W I think it would look amazing. Its already calendar worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already calendar worthy I dont no I can ask the guy who was doing the photography on the day to see if he has one? I do like this one, however I am not good with post processing so someone would need to do it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Anyone have any Track days planned this year yet? Would be good to meet up and fly the Supra Flag... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackin_n_bashin Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm booked on the RAF Marham charity track day, just for the saturday though. May do the sunday if I can find a room on camp. Might try and slip a cheeky Donnington in too, the prices are looking very reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 It's high on my list of "Stuff to do in '13" but nothing booked in and solid yet. What's the RAF Marham one all about then, Hackin'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackin_n_bashin Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Starts early too! got to leave mine around 06:30! Always room at mine for an overnight. Will even let the car sleep in the garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I really need to get back on track, not been in soo long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm hoping to be organised for the first proper one at Mondello which is 22nd of February but I still need to source a full set of race pads and I can't see myself having the money for these, the track day and 100 litres of fuel so I might have to for-go this meet. Oh Discordia! Wouldn't mind throwing a bucket of black paint at it as well (can't you just tell its gonna be perfect!) before its next outing but that would certainly be pushing it.

downimpact Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Booked onto Coombe on the 8th of March, thinking Mallory in early April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ordered a set of race pads from the states this evening. They're not the usual choice and this may come back to bite me but buying these has left some cash in the kitty for the other bits. But I'm fairly confident they'll do the job just fine, I never had any issues with my previous pads, which were a street compound from the same manufacturer. They served me very well up until their demise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 What have you ordered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 What have you ordered? Hawk HT-10 race pads, from Hawk Pads Direct. £235 delivered. Probably not an all-out race pad but should do me nicely. Seem to compare favourably with other well known brands from what I've read from other track enthusiasts online.

pedrosixfour Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just bought an R154 gearbox conversion kit complete with proper shifter cradle and 1JZ bellhousing. I am not unhappy about this development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Nice one!! Cheers Richard, it's being shipped today but I've to locate a suitable clutch & flywheel so theres no reason to think it'll be in the car anytime soon! But once in it should open up a few more events for me as I was treating the W58 very kindly at the last couple of track days, no hard starts & even leaving it in third for hairpins. It never grumbled once about the 100% power hike but with the R154 I can exploit the 1JZ fully and maybe even visit a drag strip for a bit of hectic cog swapping! T'would be a good excuse to fit the Hurst line lock kit I have sitting in the garage for the past 18 months!

pedrosixfour Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Just took possession of my new gearbox, looks to be chunky little monkey when compared to the slender W58 (from what I can remember of it's size). Been doing a little bit of digging and found a good deal on a new 6 puck clutch kit and one piece lightweight flywheel, all for less than €600. The bonus is that the kit is right here in Ireland (wonders will never cease!) so the price includes delivery to my door! I'm not going to make the track day on the 22nd of this month but if everything is in place for the next one then I can't complain, I'll be doing some work to the interior and hopefully there'll be a new coat of paint on the outside as well. I've taken a shine to the matte look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
