It’s all in the prep.

It’s the last weekend before our back to back EXE track day next weekend at Winton. The crew gather around for some last minute car preparation.

I’ll be tracking M&M on both the Saturday and the Sunday so it’s time for a long overdue service.

Doing up sump plugs like a sneaky ninja boss.

Bong is trying to hunt down the source of his leaky micra.

“You’ve got the touch. You’ve got the power…YEAH!” <– If you get that, you're a nerd. 😉

He also has to bleed his brakes.

So while his wheels are off, I sneak them on to the MX5.

Oh wow the size/tyre/fitment is all wrong haha. I actually considered buying RPF1’s in this size but this now confirms that I’ll be getting 6UL’s instead.

We then did a switcheroo and fit the equips onto the micra with hilarious results!

Passed the card test!

Kam I can see your panties. Why no new jeans? Because racecar.

Relief! Nothing has exploded on the 35 min drive over haha.

Pew Pew!

Time for some labelling action!

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here’s my number so…

We don’t usually shut up shop to have lunch, but Tom is now rich and revolts against having a peasant take away meal. This means we all pile into the clown cars and head off to Springvale for lunch.

I order chicken ribs on egg noodles.

And a three colour drink.

Om nom nom.

On the way back we stop off at Bunnings so Tian can buy some metal to make a fire extinguisher mount. Kam and I have a quick pep talk before heading in as we both lack restraint and are notorious for coming out of Bunnings/Kmart/Officeworks with things we don’t need.

“Stick to the plan. We’re just going in to buy split pins.”

Shit. It happened again.

Back at the garage, Tian get’s to work on his mount for the zed.

By this stage it’s freaking FREEZING outside.

Luckily, Jally shows up with some random snacks to warm us up!

SUCCESS!

Still one last thing to do to the mx5 before we’re ready to roll…
