built4speed, is there any word on the taupo rounds. The web site link says tbc or something. After racing bikes for years I am a bit over the drive and stay in manfield, not to mention that place is freezing cold......almost colder than Taupo! Would be very interested in a taupo round..... Havent h...

If the vehicle has a msnz cage it can't have normal seat belts. Every seating position must have a fia or sfi spec belt. Your not allowed to use factory belts even on the road as with factory belts you can move forward in an accident potentially hitting bars with your head. Normally they make you we...

Hey mate, this wing, where did you find it? My race car is in need of a wing and that style will go well with the matt black.

Winter series is Manfeild only sorry. Yea not a problem to try it out.

Also, with the long blond hair and so on (photo above), you dont look 115kg's...you carry it well! [/img]

Car lives in Palmerston North atm sorry. Haha im a touch larger than the blonde.

Not sure why no on ehas picked up on it but TELL US MORE ABOUT THE SEAT!!!!! I am really struggling fro room in my road/race car (6'2") and my bad back (MX accident) means i need to lay down. I am on my 2nd race seat and still cant get it right. That seat looks awesome :shock: P.s awesome deal with...

I generally believe it's more effective to look critically at your driving technique before opening the toolbox :D Driving technique adjustment isnt going to help when you are on the edge of physical grip. I did my fastest lap times with small exit oversteer due to the speed id carried. All it took...

I can understand that, Im 6'5" myself so had to remove the door handle and that for a good fit. I drift and have iConcept tie rods(effectively one lock spacer but beffier and more thread too) and these work great. You dont need much more just a little more. They sound the ticket, how much and where...

Welcome! Great little build up, such cheap race cars! Good job avoiding those few little mishaps in the video! Got close a few times. Im not a racing driver but one suggestion you might(Hopefully) find helpful after watching your video is to try keep 2 hands on the wheel as often as possible and at...

2nd of June was my first days racing and testing. Few issues with the car and i was pritty rusty from the 8 month gap since my last door to door race. Camera is a Contour Roam2 mounted on my helmet. Gives a good drivers perspective http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASrY5H_VH9E Graphics on the car was a...

Hello people, my name is Jarred and im addicted to racing! A change in personal situation meant i had to retire my Evo Circuit/Time attack car. Its for sale atm if anyone is interested, 2013 Pro Street Champion :P http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/488182_503061413073398_1308890831_n.jpg ...

Fia comes down to money more than safety. A nzkw is probably a better seat than a momo t frame but they don't have the moon beams to pay for the testing. I don't mind other momo seats but you couldn't give me a t frame.

Sweet as, they handle nicely with the back slightly higher than the front.

A few things. Is the ground dead flat, even a slight change in contour will mess with it. Check tire pressures. I always measure from guard to rim lip which gives you a more repeatable measurement. When you say the shocks are set at the same height. What shocks are they and how have they been setup?...

Maybe my legs were just too fat for them haha. Id take my new Racetech seat over any other seat ive sat in.

If you have an accident big enough to have your arms flailing round, you've got bigger issues than roll cage padding especially in an open vehicle. We've had this argument with msnz.

If those are the same momo seats I think they are Snap, they are horrible. Big steel bar along the front that digs into your legs. Too deep to, they nearly swallow you.

Hey people, ive been trying to post an intro/build thread for my car, but it wont seem to let me as I haven't been a member long enough. Posting links to photos etc and tripping the anti spam. Any Admin help would be great.

Thanks
Jarred
