If you go there with an N/A 86, then run in class B - much better.
I have to run class A and it's not fun.

Red Star normally has car days on Wednesdays twice a month, and sometimes there are charity or car club days that you can get into. Give Youlanda a call at RSR and ask her to put you on their SMS notification list. Also, subscribe to Red Star's Facebook page for updates. It's a wonderful, technical, and very safe track for cars.

And yeah, of course Midvaal's still bumpy, but it's a lot better than it was a few years ago. At least there are no potholes like there used to be :)

I love Midvaal because I enjoy mixing it with the racecars which grows one's experience and skills in leaps and bounds. Still my favourite track.

Here's what Midvaal looks like now (August). Ignore the oil and cement mess. It's very abnormal to have 3 racecars (a Porsche 928, VW Fox and a Supra) empty their sumps on the track in one day - phew! They used 16 pockets of cement to get the track sort of working again...

I'm sure a v1 rocket bunny kit wouldn't cost around R100k after installed ?

It seen kits (I'm assuming these are replicas) on eBay for under $2000

Would be cool to see companies like RACE! Build a few turbo Rocket bunny 86's in SA

Very much so. If you're interested, here's what RSR looks like through my 86's windscreen.
This was the lap which got me 9th overall in Leg 5 of the Michelin Cup in July.

I wonder what it will work out too with shipping, rather tempting but we live in SA. Duties will screw us over and we have to worry about it getting damaged during transportation.

Exactly my problem with quite a few tasty bits the guys overseas get... quotes on things like headers were $400 to ship... not liking the idea of adding almost R5k to the price of my goods.

The good news is that many car parts don't attract import duties... not sure abut body kits though. I know you can import exhausts and superchargers without import duties (otherwise you'd have to add yet another 20/30%). I am not sure about VAT though... I do think you'd have to pay it meaning +14% already!

Boost for sure. It's addictingly fun.

If there was money remaining after that, maybe some wheels.

Let's assume You had R100,000 to spend on aftermarket bits what would you buy? (About $7400 or so at today's exchange rates).

In no particular order here are some of things I'd love;
Exhaust (headers first, then the rest)
Edelbrock SC
Brakes (maybe just rotors etc, maybe bbk)
Wheels (plenty nice 18" ones out there) + tyres of course.
Front splitter - looks ace
Valenti tail lights (already have these)
Carbon fiber drive shaft
Pulley kit (eg Perrin)
Oil cooler


Problem is this wish list is way more than my imaginary budget ;-)
