Postby Randy » Fri Jul 02, 2010 3:55 pm

Seeing there aren't too many NC's here's my baby.

Daily driver and track dog. Mods are limited to a Fujimoto CAI, King Springs, Koni adjustable shocks, Whiteline sway bars, and a custom rear box for a bit of a note.

Phillip Island 2.00.0
Sandown 1.33.7
Winton (Long) 1.44.3
Winton (Short) 1.12.4
Calder Park 1.12.5

All these times are done on Kumho KU36s..........Hopefully i'll have track tyres as of August!!!

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, but it wouldn't let me up load clearer ones :cry: If anyone can help me post them please let me know.

Had my first track day at Winton with the R Specs. Well what a difference.......it's like learning to drive again. So much grip especially under brakes. I found myself breaking a bit too early at times. I was a bit disappointed with my overall time......1.44.0...i was only 0.3 quicker then my best time on the KU36's. The car actually felt a lot more stable and i was noticeably quicker in certain areas, so i just need to string a few decent laps together.

Bring on Sandown!!!!

Love what you've done to the car Randy. Sounds great as well.
When are we going to see you at the Garage on a Thursday night? Been a long time between drinks.
Cheers!

It was one of those days when everything just fell into place. I just love the look on the WRX drivers faces when they check the times and realise they've been beaten by an Mx5. First question they ask is.....has it got a turbo. No. The shock on their face is priceless.
