Hello to all, great website and keep up the good work.
Met lurch who approached me at the John Mott this year, who loaded the website on my phone, thanks Lurch.
My name is Yianni, Greek 4 John for those of you who don't know.
I own a 70 datsun 1600 running a z20t 5spd, club car which is still waiting for an engine rebuild from the John Mott sprint a few years ago. Now more on the z story and why ive joined the site.
A friend of mine Greg wanted to get back into the hobby of cars and gave me the job to source something that he/we can work on and enjoy sprint/club level racing together with the outlook of doing targa tasie in 2012.
We looked at many starting from an escort through to a datsun 1600 until we found and purchased a 'burple' 260z 2+2, 6spd 383 Chevrolet from my105 some months ago which came from western Australia. Most of you may know the car.
Since purchasing the car we have had Fabraications install a 6 point cage, 2 race seats and we also replaced front wheel bearings,discs and pads along with new konis and front coil over springs.
The car still needs some sorting and mods along the way as all track cars do, but Im happy to say that Greg and the car completed the 2 day John Mott sprint with no problems or hiccups. It was Gregs first time sprint event and also the first time for burple at sandown. Ended up with a 1.29?? With lots more in it.
I've recently started a new business called Melbourne car storage in mordialloc, it's a unique business catering for car and other storage but a little different to most storage businesses. More on that once I speak with lurch on advertising on the site.
Cheers
Yianni.
