All,

Its time to decide who is the best driver in town. Its a level playing field, same car, same day, same track!

Discussion's last night with John from UAS has provided us with a unique opportunity to test our driving skills. John has a spare car that we can track on Thursday 19th Oct OP GP L2S day. We will all get 3 laps in the car, which is equipped with timing equip. Who ever is the quickest will win the prize, and the respect of the track day warriors!

Ok the car.

Its a 1991 corsair 2.4lt manual 5 speed front wheel drive. The car is registered but has a little front end damage, but still drives ok.

The cost will be $50 for a seat in this ultimate track car! All costs covered, fuel, brakes, clutch, tyres everything.

Our goal is to not kill the car, as anyone who cook's the clutch, brakes, gearbox or engine will automatically be disqualified and be shamed off the SAU. Anyone who is silly enough to crash the car must work off the dept to UAS by working a weekend, getting coffees and cleaning UAS's workshop or repairing the damaged car if repairable.

We cannot drive it like we stole it, the longer the car lasts, the more laps we get and the more chances you have in clocking off the best lap time and winning the 1st place prize.

Depending on the number of entries first prize will be anything from a bottle of Motul 300V, to an oil change and if we get enough players a full service for your car.

John is eligible to drive since he is putting up the vehicle.

Im obviously in.

Abo Bob is in as well.

Steve (WRX) is in as well.

Ok let me know if ready to take the driving challenge and work out who is the best driver.

Note: You will need an L2S licence for the day and be attending the OP private practice on the 19th Oct $110.

    • Yea I could, but it is amusing how shit a stock seat and belt are
    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
