[Mr Taxi]

saw a trackchat.com.au sticker at Castle Hill Exhaust a little while ago, so thought i would have a look at the site..........looks good :dance:

This is my Daily Driver and some time weekend track toy.

Its a bit of a nugget being a taxi and all, and im not much of a driver.

Did a 1:11.83 at Wakefield last month of street tyres which is my best......only had it out a couple of times. Im keen to have a dig at motokhana too for a laugh, not really in to the straight line stuff.

Im hoping to get it into the 1.09s or maybe 1.08s next year on semis and with a bit more tweaking......however thats on the back burner with a wedding (mine) coming up.

Nice ride man. Great nugget! I'd buy one for sure. Pick of the bunch. Mine's a taxi too... but with a holden badge. White with dark rims rocks :yep: ;).

[Mr Taxi]

Thanks for the welcome fellas

CHE actually have a trackchat sticker on the wall.

Wakefield in Dec might be a goer but I don't like heading out in the taxi with high ambient temp much.

Yeah in don't mind the wheels getting a bit tired of them though so looking at another set from japan with lower offset

I'd like to do the zorst soon too .... At the moment it's stock with just a metal cat

Welcome and nice ride. I remember racing a Typhoon (350+kw) at Wakefield. He didnt make it easy to pass on the bends and absolutely smoked me on the straight. Just out of interest what would yours lay down on the 1/4 mile?

[ShylanMotorsport]

Hey mate.
Welcome....enjoy your stay!
That is one tough Taxi!!!

[fatas]

As its my daily driver and i do a lot of work k's i have to keep it pretty tame......its very quiet and pretty good on fuel too. Im happy with the way everything has worked out, however rear end bushes need doing soon. I'll probably change the wheels again next year (another set of Jap wheels with lower offset) and put some semis on for a few track days. Im also keen to have Castle Hill put a new exhaust on and have it retuned for another 30rwkw+. Beyond that i'll need a proper seat and harness but im not sure if im that keen....we will see :chuckle:
