The event was set to be a test, a dabble into something just a little different for SAU-Vic.

With the aid of the top class instructors, the sponsors J-spec & Driftline, and all the volunteers & competitors...

Its quite safe to say this was a 100% successful event and went off remarkably smoothly.

I would be very surprised if anyone cant take something away from this event that they did not have before.

I saw all throughout the day people's skills improving vastly which is a very rewarding sign for the SAU-Vic Committee.

Again, thanks to everyone coming up to support the event in many ways that people did.

We will be having a chat about the event in coming weeks with the instructors and get to planning Drift for dummies #2.

We can see already many many ways to improve on the next event and give you guys MORE track/training time.

I would suggest if you arent a member of SAU-Vic you fast become one as i have a good feeling that our next event will sell out before it even goes public.

So just a tip to the members of the public who entered.

Thats it for me, i had a bloody excellent day as we had a convert in Adam to the Taco Bills margarita's... so that was my little training for an instructor :P

I'll let you guys do the rest, post the pics etc etc.

Thanks for an excellent day

Cheers - Ash

Hey there,

I was the chap in the white S14a today. Never drifted before (actually stuck my hand up during the briefing for never inducing it either!), but had a fantastic time clearing up witches hats etc with the underbody of my car (oh, and drifting of course). I've clearly established that I need a set of adjustable coilovers, and maybe 2-way wouldn't go astray either!

Glad to have signed up to become a member of SAU as well, hopefully I can make it to a few more of these events to have a bit more fun in my car :P

Cheers,

Theo

Thank you soooo much to everyone that helped out, organised it,had a go at doing it and came to watch.

I had the best time and learnt soo much i never thought i would have learnt. It has given me heaps of confidence in my driving and my car and i have walked away with some new knowledge and driving techniques.

Thanks again :P

i can't remember when i last had so much fun. this was f**king fantastic... thanks to ash, chris, paul, pete, james, bec and any other organisers i missed. the instructors were great. i will be in for hte next one and try to calm down and concentrate on what i'm doing :P

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
