A friend is building a dedicated Mazda RX-7 track car. In non compliancable form late model Mazda’s are extrmely cheap and a fantastic platform for motorsport. This Mazda will eventually be boosted by a GT35 turbo and run on E85 ethanol fuel. The car is being sponsored by Mr Parts.

Can’t find the wheels you’re looking for? Then make your own style.

These cheaper Japanese copies were purchased brand new but the colour styles weren’t overaly attractive. It’s amazing what a new coat of paint can do. The colour in question was purchased from a local auto paint supplier and is a factory Nissan 2-pak colour best described as a dark brown/grey. The paint was applied by Artistic Panels in Epping.

ATP (Advanced Turbo Performance) has realsed a new custom TD05 22G turbo upgrade for the Mitsibishi Lancer EVO 4-9 models. These turbos will support over 300kW to the wheels and are extremely streetable.

Bought some secondhand Lenso track wheels. They are faily light and came with sticky Falken RT615 tyres which was a bonus. Shoudl be good for 1-2 track days yet.

Owning a bomb can be very handy – leave it anywhere without a worry. Great for throwing dirty crap into like trips to the tip. Sold for $150, just couldn’t justify paying rego on a car worth nothing.

I thought it was time I got my own blog.

I’ll kick things off with a few photos and info on what I’ve been up to these last few months.
