I live in Hamilton, what do you need Matt?

The club would like to have entries in by Wednesday and the entry form is available here: http://www.motorsportmanawatu.org.nz/ro ... ugust-17th

Hey guys,

Motorsport Manawatu have a driver training day coming up this Saturday (August 17th) at Manfeild.

Only $80 and no helmet or overalls required.


The day will be best suited to road cars and we'll have tutors to ride with you to help with developing your skills. This ...

Take it somewhere that sets up racecars. Should be a few places in Dunedin?

email leon@oldschool.co.nz and he'll get your account sorted. There are a few on there... I even saw a 4V and a 5V on a trailer the other day.

How serious is your project? ... Because a nascar V8 would always be a good option if you want a guaranteed 850hp.

Mag & Turbo Palmerston North. They do the majority of the racecars in the Manawatu, and all three guys who work there are active racers at Manfeild.

Craig owns the place, Nick is the best at wheel alignments. Give them a call on 3566006.

The 16V head should be fine... We had one drop a bolt inside the cam belt covers (killed the bottom sprocket and the belt) and it didn't have a problem.

Same deal with a silver top at the track - we threw a new belt on it and carried on.

I'd recommend that you don't compress the springs. People will disagree here, but cutting and re-shaping is actually a better option.... This will raise the rate slightly, but harder doesn't always equal a worse ride quality.

Getting springs made is another good option too.

Why not get ...

I even saw the Kellys had there new Allloy V8 on the bench next to there GM counterpart and apparently there chalk and cheese the Kelly's thought the Nissan unit looked like something out of F-1 and was about 30 odd kg lighter also vs the cast iron good ole boy from the US.

Yeah, local speedway ...

Good advice on here. Road and Track is the easiest way to get into entry level motorsport and you've got the added bonus that the club runs the day efficiently.

If they offer a morning session to see the lines, go and do it! The guys that drive you around have done a lot of laps and have helped ...

That's annoying Rhys. Did your old man have to foot the bill for this last rebuild?

Geartech are awesome. They do the job right and always get the job done quickly. As Brad just pointed out, they aren't too expensive. My last diff job was slightly more than that with a couple of new bearings and some adjustment on the LSD.

I'm not leaving any more, so anything's possible .

Gravelbash?

Here's one man's opinion on the matter. Substitute the Z car for a Supra and we have a similar scenario.

12 race meetings a year sounds fine to me! That's one a month... I wonder if they'll have different noise categories like Manfeild do?

Sounds like it all went smoothly?
