Are you skyving off Ivor? Only if you ride shotgun with Rodney in the hillclimb... Recommended.

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.

BTW, the long term forecast is for dry weather from Friday to Tuesday so here's hoping Sunday being in the middle of that forecast we end up getting a dry day indeed!

Re: Auckland Run to Pakiri -Sunday Dec 9th
Yep the weather looks MINT for this weekend so be there folks!
I'm planning on a wee test run Saturday morning and if everything passes inspection afterwards, I might even bring the red thing on this run. Should probably swap out the suspension for softer stuff before hitting those bumpy back roads but the weather's just looking too good.

Re: Auckland Run to Pakiri -Sunday Dec 9th
I'll have to dig that info up Ivor - all I can say is they are track spring rates not pothole spring rates.psyguy wrote:What spring rates are we talking about, Charlie?mickeyduck wrote:Should probably swap out the suspension for softer stuff before hitting those bumpy back roads
They are Kei Office coilovers. They work well above about 80kmh but are awful below that.
I have a set of BC Golds here that I might try yet as they have a wider range of adjustment I believe.
Anyway, test run completed. SW on ramps in shed cooling down. In a couple of hours' time I'll check everything's ok (nuts, bolts etc) and if so I'll drag it along tomorrow. See you guys there!

Re: Auckland Run to Pakiri -Sunday Dec 9th
Unfortunately I can't make it today gents.
I am in the middle of building a deck and was on good track for finishing before today's run. But still need at least one more day!
I'm gutted the car is all ready to go.....
Have an awesome time & see you guys on the next one.
Cheers.
