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.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
