Instructors always in the car too. I prefer this over the Porsche course because there is no 4wd.
I'm pretty sure someone from AKL has done it and written up a note on it which is posted on the Tuthill web site. Haven't looked for a while but its probably still there.
If 'The Ring' is 2015, maybe this could be 2016?? - nice to have a strategic plan in place..............

Good luck with that. Simon jumped in the passenger seat and told me we were going to look at the five parameters for each corner. My response was don't give me information overload. We ended up with a couple of points imparted. It's a gradual process. I think you build on your technique, part by part, layer by layer.

I had been looking for this reference for a few days but couldn't remember where I read it - its a 3 part write up on a 3.2 to 3.5 rebuild. This is part 3 but I was interested in the run in procedure he describes. Up to 5000 revs then lift of and let decelerate for vaccum effect and help seal rings ....

John. I think you are right. But Ill need 5 years of visits to NZ to catch up on Petes total HD laps this year alone so I need to find a faster way of sucking the information out of his brain. Anyone know how to do a Klingon mind meld?

The best place to buy Hankook tyres from is the Porsche Club as Hankook sponsor the club. You get the same price and the club gets 10% back from Hankook (or Value Tyres, the importer) on all purchases as a form of sponsorship.

Peter, did the Endless man have ideas on how to fix the brake shudder?

Sean, that sounds like a great deal, good to know Peter does that insurance as well.
