Thanks guys, putting new sway bars on Thursday and will ask the mechanic to check thru all suspension bushes, joints & coilovers. I will leave the alignment till last before hitting the track.
 
 

@ Dudeman - Didn't see any camera around?

 
I'll try an edit this post so it makes sense overall - and it's not necessarily pointed at flypig.
 
Most of us have road registered cars, some of which are modified. These modifications are done so the car remains safe and roadworthy, any engineering requirements are fulfilled. The cars are insured for the modifications. 
 
Some of the cars have incredible power, such as robk's. Rob has spent a lot of time researching and engineering his own parts and he has had all modifications passed by an engineer and the car has been declared by that engineer as being safe and roadworthy. 
 
He's had the car up to a pretty decent speed, at Wakefield raceway.
 
The majority of Australian states has pretty harsh penalties when it comes to 'hoon laws'. Big fines ($2000+) confiscation and destruction of cars, immediate loss of licence for 6 months then further  penalty decided by court. Two year driving bans and possible jail terms. 
 
So if anyone wants to do the wrong thing in their cars thats their business, but don't talk it up here. 
 
There's this thread http://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/tm.aspx?m=109241#109313 - where some bloke drives like a gronk, gets it on camera, posts it here and there and brags about it. I imagine that the police would be looking further into that one with the publicity it received. 
 
 
I'm guessing it wasn't you in that video - but here's a nice big spotlight put right onto our cars and probably this forum. 

Flypig - there are cops reading this thread right now in case you haven't already got the message

If you cannot run 1:15 in this there is something wrong for sure.

Did some works over the last few days while try to get the car run-in for the first thousand km.
 
1. Installed front & rear Whiteline sway bars with adjustable links + Delta V reinforcement plates
2. Re adjust coilovers ride heights  ( 4 corners with 4 different heights from previous owner ) + plus track setting alignments.
3. Bought & installed another set of tyres Advan AD08R
4. New RDA slotted/dimpled rotors & EBC yellow pads
 
Booked in the Circuit Club's track day - 9th Jun with few other friends. Not time to put Power FC & tune before the track day, so I am going to leave the car running standard boost and enjoy my first MR car on the track!
 

Cool, I will be there with Adrian and a few others. We can all pitch tent together. My car will not be there, just coming along to help out if required.

Nice, I am trying to get the first thousand km "RUN-IN", so far only done 580 km. I came across a few different mechanics & tuner during the last two weeks and funny that everyone had different ways of running in after the rebuild.

You will find everyone has a different idea of a run in, ive known people to have ideas everywhere from 500 to 5000km. A large part of the variance will be either how long they have been in the induatry and kept up with technology, and/or how much they deal with race cars. Because when you think about it, how practical is it for an unregistered race car to rack up 5000km rev limited on low boost?? To a degree, the expected lifespan of a motor will come in to consideration. For a time attack motor that will be rebuilt every 5-10000km tops (every season), you will run it in till the rings bed in (by measuring blowby), change the oil and tune it. A street motor is another story. At the far end of the spectrum a top fuel drag car motor is stripped and inspected between passes, and fully rebuilt between events.

Here are the comments from different mech/tuner
 
Paul: Do the run in for 1000km, but keep the rev up & down try to hit the high rpm as many times to bed in the ring
2nd Mechanic (did most of supra/GTR work) : run in for 1000-2000km, use low gears, and don't over rev the engine keep under 5psi boost & keep it under 3500 rpm.
3rd Mechanic: Run in for few hundred km don't high rev the engine, it will glaze the bore and end up burning lots of oil.
Tuner: run in then straight to the dyno tune.
 
Just don't know which way should I go, it's only a standard rebuild with forged pistons (86.5) & rods, bearings, standard valve/ valve springs. At moment, it's using run-in oil Penrite 15-40w.
