hey guys and gals.. if you were wondering where i was and why your pm's wen't getting replies, it was because i was in New Zealand for the last month.. it was great we only had a couple of hours rain the whole trip.. i went with my girlfriend and her family.. we landed in hamilton airport took delivery of our rent-a-van (2004 Previa (tarago), it had to be a toyota) then the first week and a bit we drove down from town to town, doing a variety of things.. like Mt Monganuie ( no idea about spelling) then to Napiar, Hastings then Rotarua, and Taupo... at rotarua we went on the louge.. hard to explain, but imagine 3 concrete 2M wide bike track weaving down a mountain.. now hop on a plastic cart with handle bars, about half the size of a go cart, and let gravity do the rest up to 80km/h!!.. we saw some guy brake his foot when he understeered into the side.. lucky there is no such thing as public liability insurance over there.. HAHAHA! we also went 4wding where i got to flog the crap out of a 6000km old Suzuki Jimmny, race a volkswagon chassis and a A12 datto 1200 motor with a roll cage around it around a track kinda like a sprint car.. rear engine rear drive... dorifto!! http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif drove some off road buggies 250cc 4 stroke quad bike tyre wearing 2 seater buggies.. quite fun actually.. dorifto again http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif
then to taupo, went on a chev 400 powered 3 seater Jet boat in a man made sprint course.. wow.. 0 -100 in 4 secs on water!! then went on a chev 496 powered jet boat down the Wiarapa river (rapids) awsome fun... dorifto on water!! ha ha..
then went down towards masterton and went Quad biking.. as seen on the mole.. big red 350cc hondas and did some clay pidgeon shooting.. 12 gauge with a small stock = ouchy shoulder!! these quads were awsome.. sliding on gravel roads etc.. river crossings.. had a digital instument cluster and a rev limiter!! i found that very quickly and often.. top speed of 71km/h on road.. top gear on limiter.. Troy (mate) went to 73km/h but he only weighs 50kgs!!
then down to wellington..nothing much in wellington went around to all the local speed shops i could find.. including Racetech where i got me some 4 pt harnesses, exhaust wrap, and semi race pads.. very very cheap.. so i set up an account with them.. cos i knew the boys on here would want some gear! Racetech are made famous from thier seats.. they are the factory race seats fitted to the new dodge Vipers.. and many many V8 super cars and WRC use them also.. any prices please pm me as i have a full price list and have set up shipping etc with them..
i also met up with a TRD supplier for Austrilasia..so if anyone wants genuine brand new TRD parts, pm me also, and i can get them shipped for you, i have also set up an account with this guy and have all the shipping sorted out.. from TRD 6/6.5/7kg rear springs, or 8 way adj shocks.. to TRD billet cams for 4AGE's or anything.. even TRD engine mounts!! LSD's crownwheel and pinions.. gear sets.. full 240hp race 4age motors!! and watches and shirts etc.. heaps of shit..
did some go carting in wellington.. lots of drifto there!! but other than that just perving at all the imports!! 4wd eg civics.. every EVO and STI you can think of... and pretty much all the lancer shapes even the wagons come with a 4wd 1.8 intercooled turbo option!!
great holiday.. but i'm glad to be back driving my 86! all up i brought back a 4pt harness for me and one for a mate, 2 sets of pads, heaps exthaust wrap, 2 .5mm TRD head gaskets for 4AGE, and a pair of rear 7kg TRD springs.. and some 6.5 TRD rears for me..
i will post up some pics when i get a chance http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif
