Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?
No it doesn't. Ideally it would but for $620 fitted it wasn't a deal breaker. I dislike the inane chatter on radio so stream Spotify and hence it's not an issue for me. If it was I imagine it's not difficult to arrange a hidden aerial. I still have the one they used for the phone.

It's true Nick. This one has the original rack too and it's in fine form. No yramp stamps either so double unique as john says. Good news is it's the NZ National Surf Champs so there's a refreshing number of svelte models on the lot....

Yes, very well played sir!
Good work yesterday chaps. I wanted to come out for a look but couldn't quite stretch it. I am up for all and any track days from now on, of course I need a complete Porsche first but a Honda will do. Bad luck Michael. You can be the second driver of my 911T (after me), because I know you will be the most cautious! Not like those other hangmen, aye?
My advice is to stay on road tyres until you're comfortable with the traction circle and the car moving around under you. If you're worried about wasting expensive road tyres, try to find something cheaper in that range for your spare wheels that still has a decent reputation for handling heat.
Thanks Matt, appreciate the guidance. Definitely keen to stick to road tyres, and am conscious of $$. The Hankook RS3 come in at a good price point, and although expensive the Pilot Sport Cup 2 seem to perform pretty well. Should really put the money into buying a jack and stands so I can swap wheels myself, and use up the Toyo Proxes that are on the other set...
As for changing tyres, a race jack and an Impact Wrench are the tools of choice. I've yet to find the best type and source of the latter.
Hiring an instructor on a track day is the best way to go.
Racing Ray saved me 3 sec's, Stu saved me half a second after 3 years of regularly going to the track.
I did DT with Chris Mendes today in the Honda and are now as quick as Chris B.....!!!!
Lots of laps with someone beside you is the only way to go...........

But in seriousness I can't recommend Stu enough -- the day I shared him with Paul helped hugely with confidence and technical skill. I'll be looking to use him again later this year.
Looks like everyone has the bug again. Maybe we need to book a few RSG Play Days. End of March / Early April??
There is going to be a PCNZ motocross on a drifting track, 3 skid pan days and 2 sprint track days between May and August. I will post the dates shortly and will be calling for helpers with the Driver Training day (JMc, Doug, Mendes and a few others who want to volunteer.........)
Pete, Chris B, Neil and Sean get to be driver trainers coz they are 'cool' and have race cars..........

I'm pretty happy with the RS3's, but am amazed how much more heat they held than the SS's... I'll have my temp gauge along next time as it must have been an additional 10C.
Lastly -- huge upvote for the format. More tracktime, more relaxed atmosphere, better garaging(?), complete flexibility in approach (number of laps, cooldown count, running alone/with another). With 20 total cars, I think we struggled to ever hit 15 -- as Macca said probably closer to 8-10. I think we could subscribe up to 30 and be just fine. Easy way to regulate it would be fifteen magnetic numbers or logos (a big RSG!) that the cars wear while out.
I'd be super happy to do more events like this. Maybe Playday can offer it as an alternative format to groups like ours to simplify RSG's administration efforts.
