Fair bit of money and organisation to get a day at Taupo, but doable. I can't commit to that kind of thing yet as I don't know what state my engine will be in by then!

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 2:45 pm

Fark. Quite a bit then. Do able if we had a lot of cars that could commit. That leaves anyone without a roll bar out usually. If we extended it out to another club and had MX5 + ??? Track day mega meet...

I have talked to the track manager before, as my brother and I have been considering hiring the track at some stage (not sure whether we will ever do it), basically it is up to the hirer that has final say as to what is allowed on the track etc, they set down a basic set of rules that needs to be meet.

Still I wouldn't want to be in an open top on a track, without some form of rollover protection, and if it was my name on the dotted line on the piece of paper, not sure whether I would let one out there without it, but can't see a problem with having a passenger in the car, which the organised track days don't usually allow without a cage and harness.

What about Manfield?

Bwarp · Post by **Bwarp** » Thu Jun 07, 2012 7:59 am

I *think* manfeild might be cheaper, however its a much further drive from Auckland, considering it looks like I'll be the only Roadster-er coming up from the southern end of the island, it seems a bit extreme. And if we get OTP in Palmy, there's a greater chance of getting shanked.

Back from the dead<

How about this becomes the new "What'd you do to your car this week/weekend?" thread

77 pages here we come!!!

^ That honestly scares the crap out of me
---------------------------------------------------------

Well today I got a letter from Customs asking for me to pay $30 GST and $40 for handling and transaction fees... Sigh

I assume it's car part related

Oh and I got a courier call card saying I missed them which I assume is also car part related

And finally, I will adjust my headlights once and for all. It's only been 4-5 months?

Your crazy sprsta, a General Chat thread will never catch on.

I now regret scrolling down the page because of that pic

Angreal - Think, what have you bought recently for $200?
I thought the cutoff for not having to pay gst was $400

generally speaking, as long as we keep this thread general, the the thread should generally stay on topic, therefore GeneralZ and his Sargentmods wont have a problem with the threads generalness and let it be as general as it is

Considering what he's bought so far they probably have his name on file and just send him a bill every time a package comes through.

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Wed Mar 06, 2013 8:27 pm

Just bolted my hardtop brackets on but in the time that I removed them (a year ago?) and my putting them on tonight, I've lost half the bolts so they're connected to the hardtop, but not to the chassis still... will need to empty out the garage over the weekend I guess

Yuss. Went to find beer and found them on top of the fridge! Go figure

And yes, I think Customs have a special account setup for me

Got a tip for you Angreal - Get Torx security bolts. Theyre pretty, cheap as chips from EDL (Or the guys over the road in East Tamaki). Think I paid about 12 bucks for an entire set for my hardtop
