Afterburners look cool dude. Bummer they're not as bright as you'd likes. I would have thought they were overpowering.

They look awesome though, will probably be part of the NC 3.6 EVO package ;-)

Latest Track day

its always a good day hanging with the club down at the track (although this is only my second official club day)

My aim was to beat RussMax. I was ahead of him leading up to lunchtime. Russ must have had a winners lunch, or hit a lunchtime weigh reduction program :P as he was now ahead after lunch. I couldn't get my times down in the afternoon...

But was still stoked with a new PB of 1:12.53.. was a tops day. Am looking forward to the next club day in Jan (i do have a few goodies being installed before then)

I didn't see Tiit out around the track in his safety vest, so some Iphone photos will have to do :P. Was good to see Alex also down there in my old NB!

Im thining of starting the BRT....Barge Racing Team. we must stay ahead of Hayden in his SP :P :beer:

I decided to change my final gear ratio back to the Australian setting of 3.7 because I felt it was too short now with the supercharger on. Once my differential housing with 4.1 FGR was out, we spent the day installing it into Guy’s car.

Having never done it before it was a day full of swearing, grease and laughs. Adam and Guy did all the work; it was over my head. I just took the photos :P. We knew the day was a total success when we saw the Guy’s big grin after the test drive :mrgreen:

Adam also installed his Barge Racing Team stickers :mrgreen:

A very rewarding day :DIY:

Cheers Kris! Whenever you get a break from work, it would be nice to meet you... and also to stick a barge sticker on your ride!
