Honestly I rate my driving 2 on your chart. I have been out on the track at oran park a few times and had a ball, I have excelent car control although I have yet to full master the skyline (as far as pushed it to its full potential)

I think you're rating system is a little skewed...

Just because you can do EC in 2:02 (which really isn't anything to brag about), and Wakefield in 1:17 (*really* nothing to brag about), it doesn't mean you're a good driver at all...

Lap times are very dependant on the car... I'd say nearly everyone would be able to pull off a sub two minute EC lap in my car, just purely because of the power...

Out of 5, I'd rate myself a 3.

aye yay yay, can never please everyone.

your more than welcome to structure a scale of your own that makes more sense to you.

I agree it's not the best rating system but hey it's not exactly the bureau of statistics!

Having stepped out of a stationwagon and into a Skyline I felt that my driving skills increased tenfold but they DON'T.

Overconfidence is something that I know I've been guilty of on occasions, where you pull something off and then think to yourself, "This could have ended in tears!"

Rating oneself is hard to do so all I will say is that I can reverse park OK and I hit the Natio with gusto when I'm there.

One day I'll go to the track and find out just how poor my skills are!

I abstain :P:)

I'm a reasonable driver, I understand car control and can push the limits once I'm familiar with a car. I'm no Fangio, even though an undercover cop likened me to the great man once.

edit: I think I may have posted these out of order...

Hey duncan, is the skyline difficult to throw around wakefield??

I would've thought a skyline would be doing mid teens?

What mods do you have?

Or were you just BSing about your time :)

EDIT: oh...you mean 1.03.22??? ;)

lol! the 1.22.03 was in the daewoo, on road tyres.

my skyline best is 1.11, stock except 9psi boost. I think that's the club record still.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
