Car packed ready to go almost.....

Pick up fancy pants brake pads from the US of A at the post office at 7:00am, put in car and bed in on the way to the track and then have fun.

Cutting it fine, but new rotors are fitted and the car is in the air with it's boots off ready for the flurry of activity first thing.

Wheels and brake pads swapped, good to go!

I'm rocking the standard seat and belt tomorrow, that will make things quite entertaining!!

Hawk blues?


nah, hawk HP's don't need to go to blues with my early girl. But half the price of any supplier in Aus with postage, and direct from the manufacturer, two sets of front and rears with delivery for change out of $300.

Put in fuel when it was cheap on Friday, checked fluids, pumped up tyres and zip tied timer transducer above diffuser tray today. Might wash it tomorrow before departure if the weather looks OK. :D

Thanks so much for that Roger! Great thought as I catch up on the shenanigans here...
Green meanie is on the trailer ready to go. I have space in the truck for tyres and stuff, but I am over bayside so I assume that won't work for you Matt...
Hope I can get some sleep - I'm a bit wired.
See y'all in the morning! - I'll be the big unit pouring myself into the green NB trying not to look like a wanker with all my mods and my irrepressible need to get Mark to put me in the lead group!! ;-) come say hello!

With the drama and holdups on the Gateway it will be a matter of weaving thru Route 5, Ashgrove and Bardon to get to Centenary Highway!! - add to that 'peak hour' traffic! :(

It looks like a beautiful day today, but with that warning. I'm going to stick to my plan of running on my street tyres.
The drive home would not be fun.
