can we have passangers on QR? If they have a helmet? Just wondering, I know you can't on Willowbank, just wondering about the track...

I get then through V+A Spiteri here they are in Blackburn Nth VIC
and there Ph No 03 9899 4851

not sure on price atm but were about $ 300 a set and I only use the fronts
and I know that they keep stock of fronts on the shelf

V+A Spiteri are a sponser for IPRA here in vic so it might be worth mentioning that a Improved production Member put you on to them
not saying you will get a discount but its alway worth a try

Slightly off topic but Spiteri's have some really nice stuff in their range, seen some of the gear they carry for Jag's and its pretty impressive.

Well i ended up buying a alloy radiator from redzone ( Big thanks for pulling the radiator out of your widey to use as a template) so that ate up my budget bar $10

I thought it was better to keep the car running cool before i start modding the 2.6ltr some more.

Im going to a drift and skin pan session next weekend and i am in a mad rush to get the car ready.

As far as suspension goes i am just making use of what i already have laying around and see what happens.In the front i am removing the front springs and fitting the dobinsons i have never used and adjustable pillow ball strut tops and a cusco strut brace. In the rear im using my coilovers with adjustable strut tops a rear strut brace.

Fingers crossed i have enough power to spin the wheels.

have you removed the speed cut yet? if so how did you do it? My Eterna has a speedcut too, and with a higher diff ratio and smaller diameter wheels/low pro tyres it's maxxing out around 160km/h (showing 185km/h on the speedo).

Ok so round 2 for the old girl. I have the radiator going to being polished

and the rocker cover just to break things up a bit. I have a few ideas this time but am not sure which way to go.

1 I can fit my big 16g thats on the narrow body and get my e6x installed 2 I could get my front suspension converted to coilovers.
3 Buy a set of pads and spend some money on a set of cheap track rims.
4 Look into a intercooler upgrade.
5 Just buy all the bits for mpi and save some more.

Oh and dirtygalant i have not removed the speed cut yet but i will be looking into this some time over the weekend. I could remove the one on the gsr by taking the screw out on the back of the dash marked rsm.

i have very little experience but from questions ive asked

brake pad upgrade and a set of track rims and semi slick/tyres would easily be the best thing you could do

its not good going fast if you cant brake or get enough grip!

fat chance finding cheap rims with a +18 front and -10 rear offset though....
