It's On! Lakeside - Better Late Than Never


Recommended Posts

Okay everyone, Monday the 24th is good to go (next mon)

Two sessions: 8:30am to 12:30pm, and 1pm to 5pm

Cost is only $100 per person per session (you can stay for both if you want, there may be a discount depending on how full the sessions are) and there is a limit of 20 people per group.

Cars don't have to be registered but will be scrutineered for very basic things like tyre wear, battery secured, no oil and fluid leaks....that's about it. There aren't any noise restrictions as such, but use your better judgement as to what will constitute 'too much noise' as you will be given a warning and chance to remedy the situation or be kicked off the track. Put simply, open pipes would = no good.

Expressions of interest here first, then by wednesday I will give booking and payment details.

Who's up for some fun?

note: i am not organising this, someone else is, but i thought i'd share the information with you guys

it went okay... was a bit annoyed at some of the goings-on and the way things were organised, but it all sorted itself out in the end, so not too bad i guess....

i have decided i need more power, and better rubber

and stiffer springs

You gotta say that getting onto that track was worth the f*ck around? They obviously weren't expecting the turn-out they got for the sprints section, but they still shoulda paid more attention to ya Jason. Good to put a face to the name mate.

Cheers. :)

yeah, i managed to get 3 sessions in a row at the end, so that made up for missing out on the rest of the day i guess...

and yes, it was worth getting out on the track...

i'm glad i didn't spit the dummy and tear into them and demand my money back now :)

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
