Well done guys. Nice turnout! :mrgreen:

And thanks for posting the pic of Isaac and his AW on the skid pan Ivor. 8)
He grumbled at me about the open diff. That car had an LSD last time on the skid pan and it hung the arse out no problem at all. But with an open diff, one rear wheel will always want to stay planted. Which in my estimation makes cornering in it a bit safer for the lad...

100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass. :twisted:

Found this photo of my car on Facebook by chance, among someone's photos from Hampton Downs event last weekend Caffeine and Gasoline.
I suppose I need to lower the car a bit more lol

Everytime I think about this, I remember how many gravel roads are on club runs :P

True! I've already scraped and dented underbody bracing, and that's on "sealed" roads... :shock:
