No Crust Racing

Track day report is in and what an awesome day it was 😍

Guess what? We got a new PB 💪💪💪 I wasn't the only one either 🤯

Check out some of the gorgeous machinery that joined us for laps in the sun below 👇

Check the comments for full track day report and the PB lap - chapters included so you can skip to the lap, B-Roll, and me on my soapbox 😅

Had the pleasure of sharing a garage with Close Enough Racing and I think all that Carbon got me hyped up to go fast AF*

Enjoy 🤝

Thanks to these legends for the ongoing support, it's very much appreciated🤝CircuitWorx Intima Performance Brake Pads HFM.Parts Ulx110 Custom Blend Oil Komatsu Dragy Motorsports

*for an 86 lol

Meet the 'new' tow rig 👌 We needed something with a higher tow capacity for a pending van upgrade and I refused to pay 60k for a LC200 with over 200ks on it so the very reliable and easy to work on Prado found a new home and in comes this very painful to work on 2014 250kw/800Nm TDI V8 S-Line Q7 🤣WELL under half the cost of the equivalent 200 and with only 130ks I might add..

Euro cars gonna do euro things, so it had a bulged water pump pipe, and a weeping rear evaporator core when I got it, cheap in terms of parts but 10hrs+ labour for each job and just not pleasant to do 😅

Add a full fluid change front to back on purchase and I've already sunk bulk hours into this thing, smashed many knuckles, and bought lots of new tools 🫠

Aside from repairs/maintenance, I've swapped out the factory 21s for some 18s with a much fatter sidewall, (saving 20kg and this will be my wood carting car so having a full size spare is a must), fitted a Redarc brake controller, dropped the rear muffler for some extra V8 noise (10kg), chucked some liners in the back, and popped in a half decent phone mount for Android Auto ✅

I've got a couple Darkside Developments kits sitting on the bench, then the car will get a tune after that and fit a set of mudflaps which will complete the initial mod list 🤝

All the hard work was worth it when I used it to tow to Winton yesterday, air suspension, comfy interior, and actual torque was just bliss 😍

As Ruckus said, you will love it the 50% of the time when it works 😂

Thanks to Peter for putting me onto these bargains (he's got the 1000Nm V12!), Border BM Albury for parts/knowledge, Joog Air Racing for the AC support, and Adam/James for the group chat technical and emotional support 😅

OK, now go ahead and tell me how bad a choice this was 😂

For the love of god, mother nature please give me a bloody break 😭

Refused to use the wipers on the way down as some form of denial 🤣

Poor little Silvia, this is what jealousy looks like 😅

Show me those neglected projects to help me feel better 🤣

You know it's race week when...

Always feel bad draining oil that looks that good but previous used oil testing with Komatsu told us that four sprint events was the point where we started to see moisture from E85 in this Penrite 10 Tenths so out it goes and in comes a fresh fill and filter👌

Just need that weather forecast to play ball 🤞

I feel like I've been living under a rock, I had no idea about spray on ceramic coatings like this 🤯

I applied this in like 15 minutes a month or something ago was it? I can't get over how smooth the car feels when you're washing and drying it or how easy it is to clean after it's gone unwashed for a few weeks and it's absolutely filthy.

The wife's car is getting some paint and panel work done shortly and I'm going to test it on hers after that because the clear on it is just ridiculously soft and hard to clean (VW) then I reckon I'm going to buy another bottle and do the 86 😅

Between this, the rubber remover, and that bloody awesome microfiber towel thing I feel like I've discovered fire 😂

What are the awesome new car washing tech is out there now that's gonna save me even more time?

Today on weird s**t I buy 😅

"3d scanning spray" it makes shiny surfaces matte to make scanning easier 🤷‍♂️

Apparently this stuff vanishes on its own, we're gonna test that 🤝

OK so it looks like we're back to the drawing board after the seller of a car we'd agreed to buy has pulled the pin and is now keeping it 😓

So, if you know of/have a decently setup S15 please PM me.

Roller or going is fine, the one we had lined up was a full runner, sequential etc, just looking at what options exist to save me time and work before fully committing to longer S13 path.
