Something i did find interesting on the day (that wasnt on the skidpan) was that in the afternoon when i was taking pics from the other end closer to the race track their was a race/praction session of guy riding motorbikes doubling a person on the back.

I've never seen this before and found it quite suprising that they were still able to corner soooo quickly.

just found out

sounds like everyone had a great time except for one tool "the guy in the wrx with the flat tires" that wrote the whole day off on another forum and gave arron a very bad rap..... which is complete crap cause the day was run 100% to the way i wanted it o be

he had alot to say about the day and i wold like to say that what he said was completely wrong and the day was run exactly how we intended it to be and i would have no hestitation in going back to arron macgil for a skidpan day.

mmm, thats a shame, I didn't hear a complaint from anyone else? perhaps hyundai drivers have a special point of view.

Oh, you mean that Ben trouble maker! Dark blue wrx, right?

The ONLY bad thing about the day was that I didn't have a car to drive. But my spot went to a bloke that really enjoyed himself (Lucky bastard!).

Well done pete... I'll be driving at the next one. (fingers crossed)

Tex , the Buick is a boat so it will be right at home on the Skid Pan :)

Yeah thanks for the slot Dan :)

Has anyone else tried to clean their car? I can't get rid of the smear marks. Tried cleaning the windscreen 5 or 6 times. Looks like a polish will be required. Must be a combination of emulsified rubber, oil and dirt...:P

Erm, on second thoughts, if this is the case the Buick will be staying off the 'pan, methinks! :eek:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
