Hi Duncan, and gidday Kris, long time no see.

The geelong motorsports complex is great, I learn't to drive there over the years. Better enjoy it while it last though, as I think good ol Lindsay Fox has got his eye on it for numerous reasons. Word on the grapevine is 2 years Max. before he kicks them and 3 other car clubs out.

Anyway, i have seen many FWD do well there, in particular an N10 or N11 hatchback (old shape before our n12). It was naturally aspirated and light with standard tyres. It was quick.

Anyway have fun, might see you there some time. My old man runs a dark green Hillman Hunter out there at AutoX, or kharnacross. Every now and then ill jump in for a go, its great fun and CHEAP!!

I am from G-town originally too.

Darren.

Yours looks great.....are they 16" rims? they look like the ones i was going to get for the exa (on ebay last week)

Wasn't sure if they were 4x114.3mm and if they would fit....

I love the black bumpers and orange decal.

Is yours the same paint as mine - if so what is the colour called? and the code?

Post by **The Renegade** » Mon May 28, 2007 11:35 pm

Thanx dude.
Nah they are 15's - stock Silvia rims! I picked 'em up for 100 bux.

I HATE decals now with a passion! I left the turbo sticker there coz it wasn't too bad.
Here's what it was like when I got it home:

Ah - when i mean decals i mean a tiny pin stripe a 'nissan' 'turbo' 'exa' and 'pulsar' and thats it. NOTHING MORE. geez your car was full on before - i never new thats what it looked like. Don't blame you for removing them.

looked like something out of star wars. Now it looks great
