Car is looking real nice! Like the satin black much better than the blue wheels.

Nice,

Now that you've got an RB30 you have to make it dose.

Haha yeah rb30 it's stock and manual, got it for cheap so it's a bit of fun, plans are to track it basically, already have fitted a mini spool striped it, fitted sway bars and cut the springs, it will be on the track in couple of months for some fun

Alritey so time for an update, last weekend I did my first track day at winton, I started off by replacing my timing belt/water pump and my gear box and diff oils before the day, we drove up to benalla the day before so we could relax drink some beers and talk about the track,
The track day at winton didn't start off as planned with a big spin on the sweeper at around 130-140k on my second lap resulting in a flat tyre a buggered alignment, cracked flare and scuffed wheels. My tyre managed to hold some air so I was Able to finish the day off, after the second session I was able to get a 1:46.8, I was pretty excited by this so I tried a bit harder on the third session ending with a 145.8, that was my best time for the weekend. All in all it was a great weekend and a very lucky one as well as I'm lucky the spin didn't get any worse as it did.
