Terry Riding is the PCNZ person who arranges sitting of licenses etc but that's not a scrutineering role.
The SC's Motorsport Authority Card is in the previous owners name, speaking with Motorsport NZ today, they advised me I couldn't enter an event with the logbook and card not in my name. Was advised I need to fill out an "Authority Card Application T007" and have the car checked by an "A" Designated Scrutineer or Technical Officer" prior to them issuing me an Authority Card and Logbook in my name.

I was assuming since the 944 has a WOF plus full cage, harness and seats you would have been through this?

I will try Steve first.

Yep - spot on. For that purpose I actually used Dan as he had just got his scrutineer's licence.

I think the Renault Sport products are great, I'm just not sure if I could bring myself to buy one personally, biased I know!

As you say, the Honda's are just great value for money and I love an engine that can rev. I've always been a fan of DC2 Integra Type Rs but they are getting hard to find in good condition these days and the final shape DC5s are easier to get hold of, plus the have the K20a which is an excellent engine. I will probably go have a look at one in the new year. To many cars on the wish list currently though (a couple of motorbikes too!) so some tough decisions will need to be made.

Pel. Im not sure what events you are looking at but if Sprints and time trials for Festival you may not need a current card just a WOF etc?

Correct, I think it's more if it has a card, it needs to be correct. That's what im hearing from them.

Could probably argue my case on the day but not worth the risk.

Can you just pretend it doesn't have a card and let it be judged on the WOF or is the full cage a giveaway?

Pel has it right. From experience you don't take the risk negotiating with authority on race day. They have no real sympathy.

I've been looking at rebuild kits and to do all sixteen pots will cost in the region of $950 in parts alone. Thats before stripping and painting, labour, etc. Each kit contains a (probably redundant) piston and seals. I haven't found anywhere that sells the seals alone.

Has anyone rebuilt their calipers and found cheaper alternatives?

What bikes are you considering Stuart? Road, offroad, track or all three?

Have a chat to Logan, he rebuilt his when he picked up the 964.

Hi Phil,
I have a threesome saturday, no not that sort, but three events all on the same night. I plan to get to them all and no idea of timing so just save me some standing room on deck. One of the events is a staggy and as you and I know there is opportune times to turn up to those to catch the high class entertainment.
