Thanks!
It's not making alot of progress lately, been spending all my time with my baby girl, but it's slowly becoming more, 'complete'.
Looking forward to getting back to the track Sat.
A few shots of 'the rivals'







Better shot of new brakes
if you look closely you can see the new antenna delete plate

Got my seat cover re-secured, my big-*** nephew caused quite a mess in the interior, messed up the seat and broke the rear view mirror with his head, lol. Should be getting the replacement mirror Thursday. I haven't driven the Subi in a few weeks, it's a lot of fun, really makes me want to get to the track so I can really drive it harder and faster.
(I have a couple dozen pictures of the two cars, lemme know if you want me to post them up.

I'm pretty sure that the Skylines and Supras were under-rated on their HP #'s.
That skyline has an HKS twin-turbo kit and is pushing around 550 HP, IIRC. It's pretty nice.

Funny you mention her, she was out there with me while I was shooting, there was no traffic so She was spinning in circles and jumping in the street and laughing, it was pretty damn funny!

Her 'Joker' smile

Spinning, WHEEEEEEEEEE!


She spotted Daddy, Uh oh, I'm in trouble

CHARGE!!!!

This was on our tennis court in Cali,
I taught her how to, Worship the sun (Like the stepdad with the twin boys at the breakfast table in Drillbit taylor ) And I do a little angelic high C note, 'Aahhhh"

She keeps trying to get on the skateboards and castor boards, but she still too small. lol

Cheers, mate. Keep up the photography stuff, looking good.

Glad my hobbies can be appreciated by others, I enjoy doing it! 
Car was running much better, went through quite a bit of fuel, but the tires and brakes held up great.
Track day was awesome, alot of good cars and crazy action.
Brakes performed better than expectedl went from .80 G;s braking with the old setup to 1.2 G's with the new setup. ran 4 longer 25 min sessions and had zero fade the entire day, even with passengers, extremely pleased.
I am going to have to roll the left rear fender a little more, and raise it up a little bit, it was still making contact with the tire.




I'll post more pictures as I get them.
I may be getting some in car video one of my passengers took, I'll keep you posted!
