Taken 66 years ago? I thought it was a recent Nissan......

less than two weeks now... :D
 

Started prepping the car. Changed the CV boot that I split at last years event finally. Have to fully remove the soft top to fit the 6 point roll cage now as well as a list of other things.
 

Still building my motor :D

Long day in the workshop. Gearbox reassembled with new input shaft seal. Mechanic who did the box said in 40 years in the trade he had never seen a gearbox so dirty inside. Said it must have been assembled in a chook shed or next to a sandblasting machine. This was in addition to the second magnet and selector bush INSIDE the gearbox. Motor and box back in the car, all fluids done and cooling system fillled with new coolant and bled successfully. Few laps of the paddock. No fluid leaks but we discovered an exhaust leak. Stainless Steel Flex joint in the system was leaking through the mesh. My bad this one (not done by the shop who did the 2GR installation and gearbox rebuild as I personally arranged the exhaust fabrication in Geebung. 2 years old and just on 600 track kilometres ago. What is it about Queensland? Off to the exhaust shop tomorrow so it will be finished by the end of the week. Joys of owning a track MR2. Big thanks to Dave and Dean for their effort today.

Yes it getting close to our biggest MR2 trackday of the year. Very pleased with the way its going for 2015. Just waiting on two regulars to get their entries in to make 37 entries.
It's great to see the majority will be MR2's. It certainly does help with the perception of the marque as the MR2 certainly needed a event to put it on the trackday map with all the other marques. Also great to see Lotus/Nissan/Mazda/Ford/Subaru/Mitsubishi adding great colour the event.
The 14th will now be a 'speed off the streets' day as I could not confirm the numbers for a third day at Wakefield. This will still allow for plenty of track time with up to 6 sessions available over the day. If its a quiet day, we should be able to swing a few more.
Our two Japanese guests will be arriving on the Sunday at 14.00. People interested in joining Robk in taking the international guests for a cruise, send Rob a email to let him know of your intentions.
Paul Brell and his business partner(Geoff Spears) have confirmed they will be our resident mechanics for the trackday. For their input, they will be turning a few laps in Pauls very own SW20. His business partner is a multiple IPRA race winner, raced in Japan endurance races, run SSS Automotive for many years. I will be talking to Geoff about offering driver training.
A friend of Peter and myself will also be attending. He is a ex-HRT mechanic who will be there to turn a few laps and may tell a few tales on the Monday night.
Neil Trama will be back in a new Lotus to inspect all the cars and enjoy plenty of banter as he did in 2014.
 
See you all in a few weeks!
