I plan to do track days etc. That photo is from our annual dannevirke car club 1/4 mile sprint.It was my 1st time draging a rwd car and manual with a single spinner......lets just say that the e.t. isnt worth mentioning. I put on a good show though but used a set of tyres on in the process. our should i say 1 tyre. I hope to get out to a few tracks this year manfield and hopefuly taupo

Good stuff Daniel!

I intend to later this year too, particularly next year once my Soarer is setup for the track, and Hampton Downs is open, shall be giving myself a few practice runs around Puke hopefully in the middle of the year when I'm on break.

About 9 hours from Auckland to masterton, if you drive sensibly ;)

I drove past your Soarer in mine about 4 months ago while passing through Dannevagas on my way to Napier, Daniel. You looked rather shocked to see another on the road :-)

I had the joy of watching a guy in a V8 Soarer last night down at the hutt drags (sue me) giving it a bit of sh*t. I'm not a fan of the 1UZ performance but f*ck they sound soooo much cooler than the 1JZ's.

If you read this sentence as I've copied it, sounds a lot like the middle of the year when I receive my tax return. Of course, I hope I don't puke, but if it happens....... and stop that internal dialogue Mike, I know what Pukekohe is!

Welcome to the clan Daniel. I'm not a fan of the two tone paint job, but if you're happy that's what matters!

I know the feeling. When I bought my GSX years ago, I was actually in the market for a TRX850 (love that inline twin 270 degree crank thing!)... but the GSX750 came up cheap without a scratch.

Ah who else sees my car around? I go to the hutt drags every once in a while, usually a pretty good show... I don't race though, I've had waaay to many mates get thier cars impounded and lose thier licenses for that. I did put an HKS speed cut defender in the other day though, so I could just be badass and say "bye-bye, coppa"

Na, 12.7 and 12.9. Extreme heat plus a head wind put paid to fast times. Apparently the next day was much cooler, and that white starlet went from a 13.0 sec on sat, to a new pb of 12.4sec on sunday!

I should have been there... I was in masterton even. It was so hot though I ended up spending much of the day in my Dad's pool with a few cold beers.If it makes you feel better, he lives around solway cresent so I could hear them just as well as the spectators :p
