Hi guys and gals,

I am in the process of organising a wet skid pan day at Eastern Creek.

The day will comprise of half day skid car control.Lunch. and half day motokhana.(on the same day ofcoarse)

9am to 5pm.

There are 10 places available.And the cost will be $220

Date is not finalized as the head instructor James Stewart is still finding out dates,But most probably in the first 2 weeks in January.

This will be a great day out.You will learn a great deal about car control and also have a great time on the skid pan.

Did i say GREAT :)

I will be editing this post frequently so keep your eyes out.

Kind Regards

Dave

i'm interested but keen to know what kind of stuff we will be doing? not interested in practicing stopping, avoiding deer etc. I would be interested if you are doing slide control, figure 8 etc.

Ok the first part of the day will be learning how to control "loss of control" car coming in to a turn, back end breaking traction and the driver trying to recover.The level of speed will increase per run.Second part is

Motokhana,a coarse is laid out with cones(like on the dutton rally) objective is to drive the coarse,and beat other peoples times.Im sure there will be alot of taily action.But i must stress.This day is not just about becoming keiichi tsuchia.This is for people who want to learn car control.

I will try and make it a saturday.

This isnt like a driver training coarse.The instructors are there to guide and explain things.

I wanted to hire the pan out privately but id have to go thru the hassal of getting liability insurance and stuff.The way im setting it up is that im going thru the instructors so the insurance is all taken care of.James Stewart (head instructor) kindly helped me out.So to sum up its like having the pan to ourselves but with professional supervision and a little tutorlidge from the experts.

Because our day is not a driving coarse day im sure it will be all practical stuff.

Im pretty sure its all wet.And yes we will have it all to ourselves :P

As for a final date i wont know till later on this week.

But just to update i now have two confirmed going,an xr6t and a wrx club spec5.

If there is alot of people wanting to go they will allow up to 16 cars,but this also means less time on the skid pan for each driver.Thats why id like to keep it to 10 cars.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
