This must be a new requirement. I just renewed my M class Motorsport license a few months ago and all they asked for extra was a picture for the card. Im guessing existing holders dont need to do this (I hope).

The M class Motorsport license is just a $65 fee. Nothing more required. Its not a full competition license just some form of "revenue" gathering exercise IMO...

 

No idea - I wouldn't have thought so. Gotta start somewhere!

 

I'll register - I can sense the slope becoming very slippery.

 

Time to get the blood group embroidered on that race suit John LOL!

I think you'll find the bend sprints very manageable after HD Playdays.

You must be about to take delivery of the white wonder shortly (8th wonder of the credit card world). Sounds like a break in party is in order (Taupo return road mission!). exciting times ahead!

 

Thanks Paul, no 214s in my sizes so I've ordered a set of 221s (soft front, medium rear). It'll be interesting to see how they compare to the Pilot Sport Cups.

 

The White wonder aka Mallowpuff (joking) is hopefully back this week. That would leave me about two weeks to get her run in for the next Playday. May not go as far as Taupo, but may need a longish run to do the required distance.

Suspension is sorted (as far as it can be without new springs), brake fluid has been changed to SRF, 221 shod Fuchs are ready to fit. Ducktail is a work in progress (grille fixtures held up by ordering a billet 3.6 badge), Momo Mod 07 is on its way and I have a banner ready to cap it off.

Still tempted by the Aim Solo, but holding off right now on further purchases until I see whether any big expense items are required to make it on the track. Meanwhile the Gruppe bar is being raised; track tyres being fitted left, right and center, new cages, harnesses, seats. Where will it end?

 

Damn! They have medium rears now in 18" fitments?
The Hankook distributor had none (and no intention of ordering any) when I bought mine 3 months ago but must have changed his mind. Let me know the price of the mediums when you get them as I may get an extra set of rears too...

 

John whats the Aim Solo worth in NZ? I see these are around 375 USD on ebay...

 

AUD 445 = NZD 530. Buy in Australia and you might be able to claim the GST back.

I like the lap on lap feature to see where you are gaining or giving up time. You could send out a faster driver, then see where the difference is and work on it.

 

I went DZ03G's T give them a go. The discounted rears saw a set for under a grand. But then they are only 16".

I ended up at Autoquip and secured the Sabelt GRP seat, Couldn't stretch to the carbon. I tried a few and found this one to be the comfiest, the others tended to push my shoulders too far forward. So RR&R are doing the work. Rock and a hard place with not wanting to butcher the car but wanting it done properly so they are drilling and fitting anchor points in the tunnel and floor to pick up 4 of the 6 points.

Just the drivers seat for now but harness mounts are being fitted for the passenger seat in anticipation of getting another.

 

Macca, do you reckon it's possible to swap the RE11's side to side? The left side is certainly wearing quickly.

 

Hi David. I cant see an directional notation on the tyre (from the photos I have) so I don't see why not. That said if they are towards the last 15% of their life it may not be worth the expense of having them swapped...

 

Just picked up the NZ Classic Car, great article & read by Macca

 

Thanks Spokes...

 

I've picked up a copy of that porno mag too... haven't got to Macca's article yet though.
