Hi Guys,
Thought I'd better introduce myself.
I've just bought a 95 FTO GPX.
This was imported by the previous owner a few years back for track use only (cannot be registered). He only really used it for track days, never raced it. I plan to get it log booked with CAMS as a 2F Production Sportscar, then go race it!
My first race will be the 1 hour enduro at Oran Park at the end of October with Prod Sports. Some of the cars I'll be racing with include MX5's, RX7's, Porsches and possibly even the odd Ferrari! Should be fun I then plan to enter it for Bathurst at Easter next year.
First thing I did was take it to the dyno to see if everything was OK with the engine. The results were better than I expected.
I'm now hoping to have it out at Eastern Creek this Saturday for a practice / test day so if anyone's in the area feel free to drop in and say hi. Entry is free to the circuit. Just look for me in the garages in pit lane.
Cheers.
Shane.

For his sake, I hope you don't go on the track with him Ben, otherwise he may have to take out a homeloan
I have to work - People on the dole depend on me.

Thanks for all your replies guys, unfortunately we're not going to make it to EC this week, took the timing covers off to track down an oil leak, and found a hole in the timing belt
Might be OK for a run but not worth risking it seeing as these engines are interference engines! So looks like we'll be pulling the front of the engine apart instead
