My car stinks (not as much as before)! I'm going to get aa right angled attachment to my pressure washer. I've still got wombat guts hanging from underneath. May that wombat rest in peace.
Got the car back from service (they didn't remove the grilled wombat from underneath)... I got my coolant and oil changed. I guess I am ready for Broadford track day. I can't wait!!!
I'll bleed my brakes this weekend and give it a nice wash and polish.
Dec 11 is too far away!

From DavidM,
The best times for the day were:
- '05 STi (R-spec tyres, coilovers, exhaust, 21psi, etc) = 1:38.95
- 350Z (me, R-spec tyres, springs, exhaust) = 1:40.08
- S2000 (supercharger, R-spec tyres) = 1:42.09
- Datsun 1600 (race car) = 1:42.20
- RX8 (Taka, R-spec tyres, chip, exhaust, coilovers) = 1:43.42
- JDM DC5 Type-R (R-spec tyres) = 1:45.80
- '06 MX5 (R-spec tyres, suspension, exhaust + small engine mods) = 1:46.43
- RX8 (RT615 tyres, not sure what else) = 1:46.56
- 350Z (Iggy, exhaust) = 1:47.17

I would have had to bring the FD to beat that lot

Not a word of a lie, that is how it came off the car with no jimmying, twisting or anything.

Thanks Andrew and Taka for inviting me in the 1st place as it could not have turned out to be a better day. I don't think one could have asked for more perfect weather. Also the day run very smoothly, and conveneintly the only hold up/off happened right before lunch so no major delays because of it.
Also thanks to Taka for taking me for a spin.
Spot on other than the coilovers.. Still on springs.
Thanks for the correction Ben. Was good to see you at Winton and I'm sure I'll see you at the track again.

Andrew,
Wombat is tough aren't they?
It is only a cross - arm. Did you feel the flex of the car on the track? That will answer my quest to increase the strength of the under brace?
Ta
DavidM. You have to take me out for a spin next time ;()
