2010 OS Nats Poker Run

Escaped the hideous humidity of Auckland on a whim late Friday night and headed to Taupo to catch up with the boes (and boettes) of the oldschool.co.nz car club at the annual Nationals. While I didn’t manage to make it to trackday I did stick around for the poker run on Saturday, the subsequent cruise, [...]

Retro Video; KPGC110 Proto-type Works Race Car

OK, so a lot of us have seen pictures of the Prototype Works KPGC110 Race Car. However, have you heard it? You can now. -Michael

Retro Video; 1972 Fuji Speedway 250km Enduro

These videos were linked to on oldschool.co.nz by ‘mini mafia’  I knew from before I even looked that I would have to share them with you all.  Awesome. Awesome. -Michael

Random snap: Calsonic HR31 GTS-R

sweet random snap from a recent discussion thread about Skylines and race livery. I quite like the Calsonic colour(s) myself, even though I’ve never been a large fan of blue cars. (It’s second only to the DR30 Silhouette red’n’black in my books, but that’s a given!) Of equal interest is the large MIKUNI logo on [...]

STOP PRESS: Ed finishes a project

Well, almost. Still gotta sort out some proper front seats to match the rest of the interior trim, find some O.Z Racing centre caps for the rims, and buy some Cusco adjustable camber top mounts via Ewan @ hayatonka… But other than that I’m actually signing off on one of my projects for the first [...]

Finally!  The end figure after not using all the photos and playing about a bit came to 262.  Here’s a quick sample, you can see the rest on the RC flickr;

C110 Parts Manual

A little while back some of you may recall I posted an entry about a PC110 that a chap in the Ukraine owns, well.. even back then I was supposed to be sorting out getting him scans/photos of the book to aid him in his restoration.  I finally got onto it a week or so [...]

Teretonga Classic Speed Fest. 2010

Just  a teaser for now as I have around 4-500 photos to process and I couldn’t bring them all with me on one day as I ran over my USB Flashdrives a while ago… Stay tuned! -Michael

Goo-net, stop tempting me thus.

With all of my current disposable income tied up in getting the banana complied and road-legal, stumbling across inspirational DR30s on Goo-net does not help at all. Some might argue that I shouldn’t be browsing said sites if I don’t wanna be tempted into working (read: spending money) on the numerous other pieces of junk [...]

Faith No More, Road-trip Photos

OK, so I’ve been slack recently in that I went outside the realms of automotive interest to travel a cumulative total of 1300 odd kilometres to attend the Faith No More – Second Coming gig recently held in CHC.  Despite this however, on the journey up the country I took note of the placing of [...]
