yeah you and your car are freaks mate!!!! I REALLY need more practice lol

If you guys are after a good street tyre that works on the track... I used for the first time today the Falken rt615's at Oran Park GP. Compared to my street tyres - AWESOME!! Compared to my r888 semi's - not so awesome Ok, the r888's heat up much quicker.....but go off much quicker than the 615's I could do a few more laps each session before they would squirm, and they werent squirming much, I had to give up cause of my rotors...I warped em d'oh!!!!11ty Frink - big up's for getting this happening for the ACT guys, I really appreciate it Duncan will be there to jump in peoples cars also As for car prep.... Fresh fluids... *brake fluid *engine oil Check power steering, coolant etc Fresh brake pads Good tyres with tread As a hint, we'll be scrutineering so the main things also to make sure everything is good *engine bay no leaks or anything, battery secured tightly (not by rags or cable ties LOL) all hoses on good, the usual - common sense *cabin no loose items - everything out of the cabin that isnt needed. coins, pens, floor mats etc etc This goes for boot also - get the spare out! (saves weight too = goes faster!! ) *outside tyres in good condition, no panels falling off! brake lights work, wipers work, headlights work *other helmet - ADR approved and in good condition, long sleeved clothing all good thats really it!

Alchemist still around these days???

Nice one Matt!! And that'll be $50.00 for using my intructions

Ah crap, thats no good at all the GT - was it the yellow XY? And which GTR....not the NUR......? But yeah, John - loved it mate!! George did a top job too! Can you pass that on to him for me please mate? Cheers!

nah, got dba 4000 but they have eben on the car around 3-4 years!! pads are QFM's

Hey Greg, Can you drop me a pm when the pads I purchased come up again? Used them at OP today and felt good!

umm......dunno Bobby! Might have to kick nutshunglow into gear so he can do something for HPI again Links, you'll be there too mate??

Spotted Stephen, Brad, Jess and Camels at OP GP today

Turbo had its first run at OP GP today - was hard getting the power down sometimes lol however the grunt it had, yeah put a smile on my face!! I had a V8 Brute driver instructing me, and he was impressed.....at the car/turbo....not impressed with my driving though hahaha

Shane, no dramas mate! Id say get a nice fresh set of good street tyres if you can After a few sessions, they will wear down and get "squirmy" but if you dont push too hard, they'll be fine If ya interested mate, theres a few of us driving friday arvo and staying down there, so check that out too if ya keen! We'll be having a few quiet beers the night before I was at OP GP today - and Ive warped my front discs so I gotta get some before wakie I also had a few pro's in the car with me, and the advice they gave me and tips, was just priceless - dead set, takes seconds off your lap time. Some of the senior members here, like Duncan, can help get your eye in, turn in points, brake points, everyone - Id jump at the chance to have someone like these guys in the front with you I know I will! and Ive already called shot gun for Duncan first LOL

Diff? Driveshafts? Im getting a 1way asap (fanks Spanna p.s. yours comes with driveshaft stuff yeag??) so hopefully that fixes it haha But yeah...its louder for me when I have semi's on....

well that was fun today!! John - thanks heaps for everything mate! Your a legend Now, just need new front discs....and more practice and I should be right!

You'll be there Sid???

Oh crap, didnt see that part hahaha oops!

No dramas at all

John B! Is tomorrow still on at OP GP?

Joe, Have you been on the track with a group of more than 12 - 15 cars? VERY croweded. With us - you get less cars AND more track time and as Jase said, you get some senior members who race all the time to offer some advice. Also it is a social event where you make new members and friends and meet up with old friends and members. Plus as also mentioned, it is a saturday where 98% of people DONT need to get a day off work I know what I'd prefer Oh, and Richard, Unfort most insurance companies wont even cover you on our track day even though we are doing it as a driver training day, as soon as you sign that bit of paper on entry at the track, even just to sign on, AAMI, Shannons, Just Cars, NRMA, Vigil etc etc wont cover you.

I only fill my 33 up on average once a month....cause it gets driven hardly ever! But on the track - yeah fuel not cheap..... but....from what I can remember when my car 100% stock...and it was a daily... fuel was around 60 a week and that about 350kms a tank I kinda wish I kept it stock.....Id be a rich man lol

Hey guys, If you had the chance to learn some new skills, learn how your car handles, get some tips from some other members, would you do it? And what about driving your car fast - legally?? Well, For those people who post here, and dont look in the events section or anything, SAU NSW is actually holding a day like this! June 21st at Wakefeild Park raceway - its a "driver training" day which means passengers are more than welcome! So if your interested, pleae click here to see the track day thread! Everyone and every car is welcome This will be a great chance for you to drive your car in a controlled, legal environment, and learn more car skills at the same time Cheers! Chris

Im in Good to see your in too Bobby!! We need more V35's!!!

Bump - come on you ACT members its basically in your backyard!!
