First race meet out with the old girl at Mt Cotton just this weekend gone...pics from the event.
Will post up some in car and details on the racing part of the forum.

Shoutout to Austin for coming out to have a perv on the Hachi and chin wag.
Now he needs to enter his and join in the fun!

Happy New Year everyone, may the motivation spike enough to do some work on your Hachi's!

Now holidays etc are done and dusted, I spose some work on the old girl is in order, no more cheeky block runs in the night till the work is done!

Changing a bit of suspension setup, new Avon Rubber along with some other small bits to be done.
Refurbing the front bar and fixing the cracks in the fiberglass and respray along with replacing the lights that are damaged on the bar.
Finally found someone who will re-do the dash and take all the cracks out refurbed back to as new, anyone interested I will post some before and after shots of dash etc up once completed and if the company is any good.

Unsure but if motivation spikes, might pull some running gear off for some updates too.
Once everything is done, off to do some dyno work and get the tuning a bit better sorted and see what it actually puts out HP wise and where the peaks and best shift points are for track work.

you going to a full slick hillclimb tyre?

Undecided yet mate, I need to get the old girl looked at regarding class legality due to the Fglass and CF bits.

Last meeting I had a couple guys murmur regarding legality in the Street Production and that I should be in Sports Sedan.
So looking into that first and making some decisions post that...ugggh politics!
ie. Wheel width, body parts and composition etc.

But yes full slick is the intention on 7's to meet the class if everything else clears the CAMS bar

If it all gets too hard I will just go into regularity and then I have a bit more movement in what I can do.

That moment new genuine car parts arrive from Japan
Waiting on the ones from SC in Ireland to turn up still.

Few more shots of the old girl out stretching her legs.

Took the cranky one out for a bit of sunlight on the weekend, some pics.
Currently replaced the front lights and other bits, front bar has been glassed and sanded with all the pit marks etc taken out.
Needs to be painted, next is operation engine bay where I will pull bits out and clean it up a bit.
