Quest-4- the performance engineering workshop on Auckland's North Shore, where Kyrie, Nyle and Kyle wrestle with metal to build some of Auckland's more interesting racecars- including the Team Nyle Developments Toyota Corona rear-drive ex-Taxi Pro Import 9.66-second drag car, and the famous (and much lamented) orange Quest-4 Hilux Ute in Orange with a Lexus 4-litre V8 and home-made air-bag suspension! Fabricators for the Croydon Supra. http://www.quest4.co.nz/
Optimech International NZ Limited- the Kiwi owned and operated instrument inspection and certification specialists, the only ones in New Zealand with ISO9001 accreditation for instrument certification, and providers of all instrument inspection services (including Optimech Certified Odometer inspections) to Croydon Wholesalers RMVT in Japan. A very interesting site! http://www.odocheck.co.nz/
Trial Performance Engineering in Osaka, Japan- a long-established and highly professional total service performance workshop, specialising in circuit and high-performance street applications. Trial have assisted (and continue to do so) Croydon Wholesalers with sourcing parts and technical interpretation for the Croydon Skyline and Croydon Supra. They carry an extensive range of performance parts and accessories, plus have English-speaking staff on hand for your telephone and e-mail enquiries. Although their website is in Japanese, it's easy to navigate and find what you're looking for- and a quick e-mail will receive a response. http://www.trial.co.jp/
Want to go stormchasing- or at least, follow the progress of Graeme as he travels across the Plains and Central region of the United States in search of supercells, base-ball sized hail, freakish lighting storms and (possibly) tornadoes? Here's a couple of links to take you into to heart of the stormchasing group.
Check out http://www.stormtrack.org/ , the on-line chaser's resource and feedback site, featuring real-time weather predictions and nowcasting, chase accounts from the field live "as it happens", a complete storm glossary and discussion forums of storm activity around the world. Watch predictions turn into reality- and if you have access to broadband, check out the really cool live-feed satellite and Doppler Radar imagery from National Weather Center and Storm Prediction Centre feeds.
Graeme chases with the wildest, most respected chaser tour group in the business- Silver Lining Tours, owned by Dr. David Gold, a chase group run by chasers for chasers. Check out the wild storm images from years gone past- Graeme is an original client from 1998 and has returned in 1999, 2000 and 2002- now, again, in 2005. Don't be fooled by the cool-calm and collected feel to this website- David and Roger are devoted chasers who go the extra mile in pursuit of the action!
