Funnily enough when I look back at my yesteryears, so much has changed since the initial purchase of ‘The Fridge’, ‘Le Siet Bok’, ‘The Floating Barge’ or whatever – you name it! I had every intention of it being a budget track car, that really didn’t go to plan did it? In fact it went about three times over budget! …

Minh – trak180 Brakes for me is an area that needs to work well to be in a good mental state to push hard out at the track. A firm pedal feel with consistent braking power allows for uninterrupted focus. With the vast array of brands out there it can be quite a daunting task choosing an option to start …

Phil It feels like an absolute eternity since my last trak-life post. And it might as well have been considering Pearl remained mostly unchanged for 2015 and we only slotted in three trackdays (so sad). Alas life priorities just happen to get in the way. Sure, getting married and jetting out for a honeymoon is all well and good but …

With Pearl under wraps for most of the year, Jay and his  R33 decided to attend the latest JDMYard trackday with our good friend the 00-YEZZ Turbo Mirage.

Certainly not! Time to get that fuel system up to scratch and invest more money into your prized depreciating asset that upsets the other half. (In our defense though your …

It was none other than Wakefield Park of course since Luddenham is still a long way away, Marulan is too small and Eastern Creek events are just about as rare as legitimate odometer …

What a turn out, even though the weather wasn’t playing nice. Great evening of talking shop, cruising and snacking in West Gosford. Although the roads were wet and rain followed us everywhere, still made for a fantastic cruise nevertheless.

Ever pushed your car with a fresh tune and wondering why it’s keeps leaning out on hard throttle transitions? It could be that you’re running an aging fuel pump and it’s simply not keeping up with your car’s new fuel requirements. When you really think about it though, the factory fuel pump is probably nearly at it’s end of life …

Ever wondered why your steering wheel feels a little “doughy” or unresponsive even after replacing your rack ends, tie rods and given it a good wheel alignment? It’s probably because you’re steering rack bushes have deteriorated which has allowed room for your steering rack to wiggle about. Not to worry though, it’s a relatively easy task to replace and best …

Foot down, revs high, sweat dripping, you’ve got a record smashing lap lined up but then in the corner of your eye you see the water temperature frantically climbing towards the no go zone area. Disappointment rushes through you body as you know better to back off the noise pedal before you cause some irreversible damage to your vehicle. Time …
