Well yep, Kev gave me some pointers and I had a fantastic day.

Great practise for Dutton Rally and I slowly improved throughout the course of the day!!

Thanks for your help Kev.

That was sooo much fun, more than expected!

Top day!!

Had a ball, car is still alive, except for the rear brakes... yowzers

No wonder I was getting taily under braking, it's metal on metal. Whoops!

Congrats to all who ran PB's, and very, very impressive Chris, mucho respecto :(

Ok, so Scothfinger has risen the bar....i always thought a 1:21 is about it for a neatly modded but std turb GTR...now just how fast can the cheater go on ceramics?

He, he, he, thanks guys - I just keep taking it out and driving the wheels off it. Hopefully that continues to be the rubber wheels and not the ceramic ones!

Didn't feel I put together a 100% super lap at any point in the day. So a 1.20 is achievable if I can actually get some sleep before an event. But I think that might be about all the car can give.

A guy is meant to be transferring money into my account, so if the money hasnt been transferred by Friday...then?!?!?!

They are 235/45/17s.

And its $200 for entry? Well that changes things a little as i may just go on a Wednesday when i get my car back...more laps that way.

Well that was fun... perfect weather for my first track day! big thanks to all the guys who put the day on and everyone who helped out being flaggies etc... also thanks to the WRX club guys (murph & Jason) who were my instructors on the day... they let me fly solo in the last session and I grew some balls and recorded my PB for the day 1.32 which isn't toooo bad I didn't think? but mostly just glad I brought home the car in one piece, the brakes, oil temps and tires were great all day (I mustn't be driving hard enough hehe)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
