Re: Goals for 2017
Well, I think I completed my 2015 goals last year (2016), so maybe I should set some new ones?
Track:
Go to one, set a time, don't crash.
Try the drag strip for giggles.
Car:
Fit seats I've had for the past 6 months.
Finalise tweaks to the tune.
Poly diffs into control arms (maybe stiffer springs into shocks).
Reach goal:
New wheels.

Re: Goals for 2017
Track:
Have a car that can be used on the track and have fun - highly doubtful with what my work schedule looks like.
If the planets align, take the Charger out to QR for a track day, make glorious noise with 4.3 litres of 6 cylinders with triple webers and torture some tyres and scare some hairdresser cars
Cars:
S14 -
Suspension fitted - this week
Seat mounted - this week
Body panels - need to pick them up from adelaide if ready, plastic hanging panels for weight saving and also other advantages for door to door racing
Get car painted inside and out
Motor built
Car wired up
Hopefully get it on track for testing and shakedown
Merc -
Get the new wheels sorted and boots
Drive it, have fun.
Change the oil......
Charger:
Get 6 week rebuild finished after 16 years, went from quick get it on the road build to show quality checque book restoration as I don't have the skills to do the work to the standard I want.
Other Goals:
Build my business with more aid work in Indonesia and hopefully expand to South Pacific as well.

You wont have any problems getting that time...
Your car in the right hands would probably do a 1:25 or better, so you wont be 15 secs slower, even given your Sandown noob status, new brake setup etc.

My goals are to ride my pushbike more, and to better my Nordschleife rental car lap time.

Re: Goals for 2017
Try and do more events! Proved last year that more seat time = better results. I was pretty happy with my form at the last event at Lakeside, would be nice to find some more time at QR and Morgan Park.
Hopefully get an LSD with a shorter final drive put in, and hopefully a decent race seat,we'll see how funding goes.

Just remember Cam, aero works against you if you go off backwards at high speed into the sandtrap at the WP kink :-)
