If you guys are intending to pull a lot of constant lateral g's Id make sure you had a full oilpan as the GTO/Monaros have been known to starve the bottom end of oil and sieze. This is usually on skidpads, but forewarned is forearmed. Check out ls1gto.com and google for more details.
"Your owners manual says during competition events, add 1 quart over the full mark. This will help prevent oil starvation." - From GTO site.

[caspy]

Just to add.....you will be asked to put your towing eyes in before u embark on track.....u dont have one!!

Make sure you keep it on track.

Can we re-fit that hideous yellow thing that they were shipped over with?

[caspy]

If you still have them or your dealer does then yes.

[MalcN]

10 days to go, any more booked in?

Just got an e-mail saying my lid should be waiting for me when I get home - got a nice Sparco one in the end.

That and I'm having the Wortec work done by Greens this week too...and I'm hoping to have an in-car video set-up for a few laps by the time the day comes round.

Nice one Big Fella, what lid did you go for in the end?

I managed to dig my old rally lid out of the store tonight. Still fits! (even though it makes me look like a fat kid caught in a lift )

[bignige]

The red one

and a pair of boots too.

Well, ya got to haven't ya?

[damoace]

red, heh heh heh you tart! Still would have to be red really....

fair play matey...

made a discovery last night, head+helmet+driverseat+seatfullydown=no head room. AR$E! have to take out some padding in the top of skidlid to make some space between my bonce and the roof....

[Bignige]

Harhar ya lanky bugger!

Wear thinner keks!

[damoace]

gee thaks pal... you can go off people you know..

[BigNige]

I've got an Arai SZ Ram3 I'll bring along if that might help mate...although it does have vents on the top so it might not.

Let me know if you think it might.

[damoace]

after a while pfaffing about with the seats, I think I have a solution. Head/lid/roof interface tension has been released. got the seat perfect. forgot to set the memory. swore a ton. and another swearing ton in russian. re-did the whole sitting-in-the-car-in-the-garage-in-a-helmet-looking-like-a-loony thing and memorised the damn thing on the second try.

what a way to spend friday night.

[damoace]

Boing, T-minus4days and counting, anymore takers?

[bignige]

HAHAHAHA

Tried my lid in the car last night and I too have headroom issues.

Got round them by slinking into the seat a bit more.
Should be fine.

Weather report is curently sunny intervals - that'll do me.

[damoace]

HARF HARF
You need the long flat switch on the bottom mate. push it down at both ends
and to think you were mickey taking me! wibble....

You read my mind on the weather old son, just checked it for Saturday meself, yahoo says "scattered showers", bbc says "cloudy". both forecast heavy rain tomorrow. Bugger.....
