Dougi, I had my eye on the half cage on Trademe, but worried about the weight. Now my washer alert has come on and I read that the unit takes 7 litres, which is 7 kg. it's all playing with my head. Still, I know there's a 1.19.50 or less just by taming turn 1. I think I'll let you go first, just to get it nailed.

^^^^^ A tow, cool.

Thanks for the heads up on the MSNZ licence. I got my password reset this morning - it must be a manual approval process - and I printed a copy of the renewal status and invoice. So if the physical licence doesn't arrive in time I hope that, alongside my current licence, that will suffice to let me participate. The promised renewal email notice wasn't ever received. Wondering who else may get caught with this.

Paul, do you reckon we'll be ok?

You will need some proof - even the email.

Just checked my personal emails and i have an email from MSNZ saying the renewal has been approved. All good then.

The licence arrived pretty quickly last year. I expect mine here before the Sprints.

Hi Guys,

I have the PCNZ Hankook order form and price list. I believe Hanlook are doing a special order to make sure the racers have all the tyres they need.

Makes for interesting reading as Hankook put the Z222 in with the 221/214 group, suggesting this is the best performing road tyre??

PM me with your private email address and I will send you one.

Cheers
PM

The Z222 is available from tire rack as the RS3. I think Chris M may have fitted those to his car.

Pretty much the same price as Brian was charging. The difference is that he can no longer get them. I'd be keen on two full sets of Z221s.

Has anyone figured out why you can't order z221s from tirerack? I never got a reply when I emailed them asking.

Here is a preview of the Sonys built in GPS capability. It can show speed and position on track built in. I have positioned the camera lower now so the view is much better.

The only issue Im experiencing is GPS coverage given the unit is mounted on the roll cage under the roof. Positioning on the dash, rear window or front window allows perfect reception....

They are not officially stocked in North America (no idea why)...

The container logistics are all being handled by Mainfreight so it all seems to be well handled.
Any interest here PM me and I can get more details

Glad you like the camber tool Macca

The neat thing is being able to calibrate it on any ground - pits, parking lot whatever so not having to worry about having flat ground

Agreed - but I believe they will do a special order and you will actually be able to get them.
