Thanks Doug, will try to post as many images and videos as I can. Well, another day of prep down! Wheel alignment and windscreen done.    Side skirts touched up with some new paint.  And finished off the bonnet vent while it was pissing down rain.    Tomorrow it's off to get a full brake fluid flush and replaced with Motul RBF660. Then to just mount the MegaSquirt to the chassis instead of floating around the boot.

It's interesting how everyone is having their own saga of desperate preparation and last-minute failures. This is going to be epic if we all make it haha

I just love this little car, even when I do stupid things to it, it just keeps going.

Mate, you can count yourself very lucky. I've seen the old "forgot the filler cap" trick before, and twice it's ended in smoke and flames - and one of those ended in an out of control blaze to the waterline.
Best of luck, wish I was joining you down there.

Highlander If you weren't there, for whatever your reason, then you really missed out. I have definitely noticed this over the last few days of updates, even during buildup / preparations. Green eyed envy doesn't come close. The question is, how does Arron propose to drive both 20V TrackDub + 1MZ Skiddub and spares/tyres down for the next trackday challenge event?
 Go soothingly on the grease mud as there lurks a skid demon.

It’s the full circuit today, so…
Fk ups and sketchy moments…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFZYGaq-Y90
56mins of full circuit laps..
http://youtu.be/SXWF0J9NiHc
You like hellaflush, you like stance? Well fk that ****, this is how it’s done
Started ripping into the R888’s now!
The awesome trophies that Steve organised, and the two Ken took home!
The winners
After the track day, what else is there better to do then pack up your gear, head back to the cabins and get some sleep? Going to the pub, having dinner while talking cars and consuming some beverages, that’s what’s better!
The Hibo Pub has what they call, The Hibo Hero Hot Burger… This meal requires you to sign a waiver of your life and comes with gloves and a glass of milk. Tree, decided he was man enough to consume this meal… 550+ people have tried, these boards show those who have made it… (Doesn’t say if they have survived though…)
And from here, it was all down hill…
And he quits… Good effort…
The evening continued with more drinking and partying back at the Wakefield Cabins.

Looks like you guys had soooooooooo much fun! Just a question though, do you know what wheel size, offsets and tyre size he is running in this pic? Is this his street setup? On another note, he must be running some seriously stiff springs to have his track tyres that wide? Knightrous
Day 2 - Afternoon Update!
Around 3PM, MR2's started arriving. Trav, Brendon and Ken arrived with Ken's AW11.

I believe the tires shown in the photo are 225/45R15 Nitto NT01 tyres. Taking a guess, I'd say the rims are 15X8 or 15X9 offset I'm not sure due to there being some 20mm or 25mm spacers bolted on to fill the flares out.
