Got some updates to this old thread.

Some new tyres for my new track rims
 

Plenty of extra grip now. Might still understeer a bit at QR with the Azenis on the front, now that I have Nitto NT01 205/55/14 on the rear.

admittedly, the car is a little rough, but the focus is more about fun on the track and competition events.
 
 

And in the last several months I have replaced:
-suspension bushings
-front brake rotors / pads
-steering rack ends

-tie rod ends
-clutch master cylinder
-brake master cylinder.
-removed stereo and alarm and a few other miscellaneous things
 
I put the car on the scales and found it was 1022kg with spare wheel and jack in the front.
Its pretty much bang on 1000kg with half a tank of fuel - which I'm happy enough with.

It now uses a US-spec clutch master

top one is Aus spec ~$185 from repco
bottom one is US spec ~$25 from TwosRUs - but unfortunately it wasn't a strait fit as its banjo fitting made a different angle, and require some re-bending of the clutch lines - there have been an easier way though.
 
I have also replaced the sway bar end links which stopped the front end rattle at long last.

These seem like they may have also improved handling response - lessened body roll slightly.
 
 
 

And the next even for me will be the Khanacross next Sunday 9th March

Those tyres will come in handy then. I'm looking forward to it, never having done a Khanacross before.
 
Plus I'm looking at doing the next downshift circuit and coffee

waiting in line, ready for action at the khanacross today, amongst worthy opponents.
The khanacross is like a motorkhana but on a bigger scale, sort of like a minature tarmac rally.
You get into second gear and third in some sections, but its all pretty much under 100kph. Its still considered a non-speed event. This was the first khanacross I've done, and it was great fun!
 
 

Hey man, its cool to see your still kicking around. I think I got the right person, I met you at the Toyota Nationals in dubbo in 2003 and 2004, and maybe 2005..... 
 
The first years you had a silvertop, then the next year you had a blacktop. Is this the right AdamAw11?

Hey man, yeah thats me.
I've been gradually getting back onto the scene in the last year or so.
 
I think I remember you used to have a celica st162, then at one stage you had an ma70 with a 1jz??
 
Anyway, I'm aiming to get to the MTC in 2015, so I might get to catch up with some old friends then.
 
anyway good to hear from you.
 

yeah thats right, and then 1 year I had the SC AW there. I got some photos at home with yours and mine, I will try and post them up.
