You have to be an absolute tool to bump someone and vice versa. The day is pretty much everyone at their own pace and the fast cars seperated from the slower ones. People are pretty much told to move over for faster cars. All the track days I've been to I've never seen an incedent where cars collide, only close ones.

Bonkers, I've been sending you emails all along about extinguishers and the like.

I don't think that's ok yogi. The easiest way I think is to get a strip of aluminium from the hardware store, two holes, one at either end then bolt it to the same holes that your front seat mounts are using. So under your legs.

Then the bracket of the extinguisher bolts to that strip.

I've never seen an accident either. Also we kick the idiots off the track so as not to endanger you.

the only extinguisher in the small size worth buying is made by BFI. it's 1kg empty, 2 kg full. all extinguishers to be used in a cams event need to be metal, at least 1kg and mounted with a metal bracket. the usual torpedo shape ones people use have a fire rating of 5, the BFI ones rating is 20 so it will put out 4 times as much fire. i've shot off a few types and some of them are pathetic, the BFI one is good shit. so my advice is pay a little more and get one that will really save you or your car if needed.

my extinguisher is in the passenger side, near the end of the foot area on the door side, if that makes sense!!

fitted it in a few mins, bought it auto 1 a while ago

:)

i wont be racing, however ill try and make it down, if i do ill volunteer to be a flag marshall, however i wont know till a few days before

cheers,

chris

I just had a set of 2nd hand GT3 porche cup slicks fitted to my spare set of GTR rims, although they are suppose to be 240's they only just fit on the 9' rims. Lets see if they last a little longer then the last set of yoka's I had!

Cheater! Double cheater!

eek.. the one I have is mounted with a strong, quick release style plastic bracket.. It's definitely not going anywhere in a hurry, but is easily removed. Is this going to be ok or is it STRICTLY a metal bracket?

The plastic bracket ones should be OK but next time (!) get a metal bracket it is a problem with some scruitineers.

For those worried about making a hole in the carpet, feel free to check out the Zed's passenger floor....you will never spot where the extinguisher used to be :whistling:

i think we may have gone a little OT here. i havent seen the regs for this event (or even if it has any) so i dont think any extinguisher is required. is it? BUT to answer the question, in nsw super sprint series run under CAMS approval the bracket must be metal, and the extinguisher mounted within reach of the driver. it must also be a minimum 1kg dry powder type. the plastic ones will not pass. neither will ones out of date. neither will the ones under 1kg. but like i said i dont think any is required for this?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
