hah, yes, will be interesting! It would be great if Daniel could make it with his WTAC MR2 and WideMR's was finally going. That would really make it interesting. Still, even if there are not many entrants it will grow to a bigger event next year and we will have a huge amount of track time this time round. Chances are there will be a slot dedicated to driver training if people are interested.
Mike Navybox can provide the service for about $500 per person. Will be the best investment you will make.

The Pearl is a fun car but is not overly powerful (just over 200rwkwasps), will be interesting to see how all the cars go.
Shame about your MR2 Admin, was looking forward to seeing it.

This is the old girl that I'll be bringing to Wakefield instead - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdgAaWieIBg I'll be getting a proper coolant flush after new years as it overheated when it was last on the track. I'll also try to get some neg camber on the front. It goes well for an old ****box

Nice thought admin but you will need to speed up a little to do that! Car looks good on the track, shame it let go..
Im sure your GT4 will be very quick on the hilclimb sessions. Still, will have to wait and see.
Planning on seeing what the car can do tomorrow at Wakefield. Looking for a sub 1.08. We still have some work to do in the morning but will be on track by 10am session.

Admin, you still have enough time to drop the motor out of the GT4 and drop it into the SW20...
Now get to work!

It's a stock engine. It would die.

On the contrary, shouldn't stock be more reliable? Say you only upgraded oil cooler or added water wetter if you were afraid of stock overheating.
+1 for dropping it in the MR2! But if it's a daily then oh well...

I did over 10 motor sport events on my old stock 16V 4AGE and it never died :)
Stop making excuses and get the SW20 fixed ;)

Stock pistons break ring lands with high boost. Been there done that. The sdub will be fixed soon though not in time for the event. Not enough time because everyone is on holidays - won't be able to get parts or get machining done

Don't worry - the gt4 isn't anything special :-)
