All you actually 'need' is a helmet. I'd try the TRW lucas pads - they are cheap and they work - try Mr Brakes - in Ballarat - Both the Canny's that own the business there are regular Alfa club sprint entrants.

cheers, jim.

Deano - it doesn't really matter what class you are in to start with anyway - just go along and have fun - see if you can get the brakes sorted just a little perhaps (at least bleed them and have some spare front pads handy...), as Phillip Island can be quite scary without brakes. I'd just change the oil and coolant - pump up the tyres and  - away you go!! You can learn by "doing" just start at the rear of one of the slower grids at first - you'll soon be loving it -

You need to log into flickr - then put the photos in an "album" then go into the album so that you can copy the link - then paste it on a post in this forum...

Just a few...

I'd try Castrol Edge 10W60 (yes its expensive..) but save on the pads by using the TRW (lucas) pads - they are cheap and work well on the track, or the road.
