Went to roll racing at Wanneroo Raceway Friday night, as one of the guys at work put $14K worth of LS3 in his Chrysler Centurion, so went to see how he went.

It's pretty fun to watch, check out some of the cars and talk to the competitors, there's a good mix of cars there. I'm definitely bringing the helmet next time for a few ride alongs.

 

They only accept cash - funny that - so either pay by card or order from the site.  Next one is May 8.

Think you mean saturday? 😉

 

I was there too, don't remember seeing a chrysler though.

 

I was there to see a few of the FGs that had recently come out of MT. Mint F6E was just finished, went in for all goodies and is making ~700hp. Awesome to see and hear it on song!

 

Also, a mate/neighbour took his GT out for the last time before it goes in to remove the blower and get a turbo instead 😈

@rowdy_335gt on insta if anyone is curious

Thing is an absolute weapon on its current setup - went for a ride in it last powercruise. Awesome fun

Sorry, Yeah Saturday, then I went to Cars and Coffee on Sunday @ Midvale.

 

There's some rich bloke bringing his Supercars to Wanneroo Raceway either this Friday or next Friday, I'm waiting to find out which day for sure from the same work colleague that raced on Saturday.

 

I'm not sure if it's the same guy that is the online Casino owner who recently bought the track only version of his McLaren or a different rich bloke.

If its who I think you're referring to, his name is Laurence Escalante. Owner of a company called VGW. He became a billionaire by creating gambling games for the US market

He owns a stupid amount of supercars and also owns Arise Racing; who has an event on the 7th of May (a Friday). Its at their HQ in Neerabup though, not Wanneroo Raceway.

Tickets are free, and they've just released more as the first batch "sold out". Get onto it soon if you're keen on seeing the collection.

I'm going, not missing the opportunity to photograph his collection!

Yep that's the one, I was going to paste the link but our web security appliances are blocking the page, I've booked my free tickets already.

 

I haven't been on here in ages, the only reason I am on here is to try find a post I did last year for a good diff shop as I can't remember the name of them now and it's time to get an LSD center for the G6ET.

MT or no one 😉😂

 

All seriousness though, check out final drive engineering. They do driveshafts but I've seen they also do diffs. May be worth checking out. They

https://www.finaldrive.com.au/diffs

 

They also supply eaton diffs, so if you're getting an LSD I'd defs consider looking at putting in a trutrac. If you're already in there, why not? 😋

Heading over to your state this arvo for the first time ever :) just a couple of days at a client site. What's good in the Perth CBD for food etc?

Nice @k31th! Not sure what kinda work brings you to Perth - but cool nonetheless! 😛

 

I suppose it depends on what you like and whereabouts you're staying. Perth is a very small city though, so you can get around relatively easily. The city also has free buses you can use to get around, if that sorta thing interests you
