And a few more










You can see in some of the images how the new suspension mods are working by keeping the car pretty flat through the corners.

Ooh ****... Hymsters heart! I called 000 and the mica unit is on the way. I would even give him mouth to mouth so as he can finish the supercaharger. Once finished though Hymee you'll be on your own :p :D

The wife finally agreed last night to a twin screw from Hymee. Now all I have to do is save for his premium service.

Thanks for the heads up Lock. I forgot, but all fixed now

Cheers

Yeah I had just come back out onto the track with Matt and doing a warm up lap so let the FPV past. Once I got on it though (and with matt's instruction) we actually started pulling the FPV back and was me braking late behind him.

There is a professional photographer on the track (well the side of the track), risking his/her life, and take great picture.

This is the good thing about Event O'Neill. Has great people, excellent tutor, yummy food, Michellin support (to measure tyre and assess wear), and special passenger rides...

Luke asked me to tell you guys that he can organise a RX-8 only day if we have numbers.



BTW --- Stuart did you polish your car before going to the track :p

The organiser of the track day Luke also organisers a professional photographer who wanders around the track all day taking shots. For $50.00 you get a CD with Hi-res photo's of yourself driving. I ended up with about 20 pictures and there all large enough to print at full quality A3. In the process of framing some now. :D

Stuart,

What pixel size did they come with? What was the photographer's name??
Did he/she uses a Canon?

Peter may be there next time may be not. I reckon the photographer will only break even if he is selling that cheap. The air ticket will be $100 and his time?? Peter does cost $110 for the disc though. I had 33 pic last time but I think this photographer is better. All experience of course.

The photographers name was Jules Boag.

The pictures are 5 megapixel. I actually did not see or ask what camera equipment he was using, sorry mate.
