Hey People,

Long time no see, talk. As some of you would know dan drove his astina up to Wakefield park to show us locals how its done . . . . :

Wish you all could of seen the impressive 50metres of fishying before this point

Yes that new 4WD mod worked a treat

Getting back to nature

* Above pics taken by Daniel Liebeck

Lucky to see this was early in the day and he was back out there doing his thing

Hope you all enjoy.

Cheers Skitz AKA Kyle

marcs_sp20 · 15-08-2009, 07:19 PM

those rims really make the car look like a sedate TOCA car

Good to see it being abused before paint (well hopefully)

Yeah prob best you went with your gut there, as no one wants a dead motor. i am sure i will bump into you again out there some time soon.

Thanks man, Yeah but the stina was my pride and joy amout of time, money and thought and of course TLC that went into that car . . . .

i wish i could of afforded to have both and have it sitting in the shead

maybe one day i wil buy another and live the dream.

did you get the chance to see my car?

scott b · 15-08-2009, 07:56 PM

nah i never got to see it, from the photos it was a very nice BA though,

Rix · 15-08-2009, 08:45 PM

Lol looks like fun was had by all also i know under stand why rupe has zoidberg as his avatar

scott b · 15-08-2009, 08:53 PM

wow i just realised these photos are from the future, you got a flux capacitor in your rx8 i dont know about? :P

marcs_sp20 · 15-08-2009, 09:02 PM

I just realised, is Dan wearing Mazda overalls? No wonder he bought another pair, if he soiled the first if this happened

DavoAust · 15-08-2009, 09:13 PM

marc: definately looks like it..

dan that car is sexy, i see you haven't painted pete's boot yet

Rix · 15-08-2009, 09:17 PM

Marc would you not expect him to own a pair since he seems to always be selling them:P

70NYD · 16-08-2009, 10:03 AM

ooh nooiiice

me likey dan, car looks really sexy crabing along on that corner in the second set of photos

Pattax · 16-08-2009, 11:19 AM

loving the tailights

Rupewrecht · 16-08-2009, 05:05 PM

Haha thanks Kyle

Had a great time. The sandtrap excursion was just pure driver error LOL. First session out though, and carrying too much speed.

After that, did a couple more and got down from mid-1:20s to a 1.18.08 before a tyre went flat (leak at the bead! Grr) and cut short the afternoon. I did go back out with a V6 spare on, but wasn't quite the same. I do have some footage that i'll post up at some point in time. Definitely a 1.17 or less in the car - i wasn't braking as late as i should have been in turn one/two and ten.

Good to meet your Scott - hope you enjoyed the ride!

And good to catch up with you Kylie

Oh, and yes, a pair of the Mazda overalls, just for a laugh. So many of the other Mazda guys want a set now though LOL

scott b · 16-08-2009, 05:27 PM

yeh i enjoyed meeting u too rupe, and LOVED the ride, i know i need to turbo mine, i also know i need the lsd lol

Cosmo Dude · 16-08-2009, 05:48 PM

Dan, good to see that you've put all those mods to good use.

Rupewrecht · 16-08-2009, 06:04 PM

Tell me about it! It ran like a dream. I drove it hard, and the temps didn't go above 93 on the track (normal driving is 82ish), and the brakes were perfect. I'm disappointed about the flat though. Oh well, next time. I'll be back.

A coupla other pics.

This one's awesome
