Eastern Creek Half day Drive day THURSDAY 3rd April.


Recommended Posts

Guys, I'm officially out!

Blew too much money out at the GP and don't think I can afford a new set of rotors + a track day.

Also let it be known that Fatz is more than just nuts. He needs a psychologist and fast! That Mirage was crying out for him to stop punishing it!

You know pete.

Ok Date for deposits is definatly on Saturday the 22nd of March @ Homebush 6c. I'll be there from 11am to 12 midday. If I have to work then I have to leave at 12 sharp... if not I may organise a trip to the pub or a short cruise.

I belive that fatz is planning to be there for deposits for the skid pan day also.

Cheers,

Dan.

It would be so much easier to just give us a bank account to deposit money into, so we don't have to traipse all the way to homebush just for 5 mins...

Kinks

Bonkers,

Are you going to come along to this one mate?

Ok Kinks... I've added your name to the list. Don't forget that to guarantee a spot you need to get a deposit to me by this Sunday. I'll be booking spots on Monday morning.

I'm out, unfortunately. Although the risk of anything happening is small I can't afford it if it does, and I'm not insured. I'll see my way to getting a cheap thrash car and then I'll take to the track with gusto :P

Kinks (and others),

I have been to many track days now... as have all the team trackday people, some of us just learn about our cars, some of go all out to try to beat our lap times, and some of us try to drift each and every corner.

Our cars are not insured while we are on track as I'm sure not many cars are. I know that these days organised by moto concepts have only had 6 or 7 accidents in there 4 years of operation, that is a lot better odds than driving on the road in my mind.

Provided you drive WITHIN your means then everything should be fine.

As I have said there are plenty of experienced trackies coming on the day that are always more than happy to take you out for a few laps and show you some lines etc. And I believe Bonkers is not driving due to the building of his new house, he might still come out to the track (can you confirm bonkers?) and he I'm sure will be more than happy to get out there in your passenger seat and show you where to go.

Even if you just come along for a watch this time to see what it is all about. I will be happy to take you out and show you what it is all about.

Dan.

    • 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.
