As for the sudden development of the missfire I had, I have to wait for the rain to stop to inspect. Pretty sure it's just a fouled plug or electrode deformed by melting. Unfortunately I couldn't watch oil pressure, I've just got a big ugly clock to look at on my dash. Found a pic of your wagon in the background of one of my pics - nice work!

Well im glad everyone had a great day, i will be keen to organise another one with ez. Thanks to all the peeps that got some great shots of my car and espesh my backwards efforts. By the way my brothers 180sx did a turbo flange gasket on the way down which wouldnt allow it to spool, so thats why he didnt get out.

I was driving like a grandpa around the corners...lol My girl ( Melissa ) was taking some video also, so she will be passing that footage on to add to the DVD. I did manage to get it going down the straight though, pity that the brakes did not like trying to stop it at the end of the straight, oh and my bloody gearbox which almost refused to get out of second gear for most of the day. I had fun while I was there though, I know that next time I will definetly be fitting some much much better pads, and some wider front tyres. I will also make sure that my gearbox is fixed also. It started to play up on the way home. What speed did everyone manage to get down the straight? I looked at mine at one point and saw 185kph, was too chicken to push it any further.

I was only getting about 150kph, engine was pinging a bit when in 2nd coming onto the straight, had to short shift into 3rd and couldnt get a decent run at it.

ah nice, cant wait for the DVD. I didnt look at the speedo too many times, the couple of times i did look i was at 150 going past people but i was too scared to keep on it as my brakes were not there at all.

You left me behind all over the rest of the track, infact everyone did. On some of the video footage you would swear that I am out on a sunday drive, and not at a track.

I looked and saw 130 a few times so I'd guess around 140 would have been top for me at those times when it's too late to look.

160 km\h was the fastest I saw on my tacho, but I didn't have the balls to push it further before entering into the first corner. It was difficult to judge when to start braking. I'll have a better idea the next time we go as this was my first time at Wakefield Park. Clayton managed to reach 160km\h in his Mazda 3. Man, that thing can handle.

Unreal Mick, no fade at all, and danm they pull you up when you jump on them, so glad i did that maser cyl upgrade!. The callipers started making a creaking sort of noise while they were hot? worked fine, just made a weird noise. They are fine again now, not sure what that was.
