Answers,

1.- how much petrol you willing to use? usually scutineering starts about 8am racing starts from about 9am. The day finishes at 4pm i think or 4.30pm. Last time i went there i did 250km's and a whole tank and finished early! could've done atleast another hrs track time

2.- there's no instructor as such, but if you want someone experienced to show you the lines for a few laps then i'm sure we could find someone to show you. You can take your girlie in the car and scare the shit out of her. I plan to do it to my wife.

3.- What do you mean by stage 1 mods?? if you mean exhaust pod FMIC then look at times around 1.15-1.20 depending on driver ability, I had these mods and had semi slicks aswell and ran a 1.13.6

Yeah that sounds about right.. although I think he meant "what speed" as in km/h.

jaimzr33: If you havent got a speed limit defender or aftermarket ECU you're probably not gonna get much above 180km/h. If you do have either then expect a max speed between 160 and 220km/h depending on your lines and braking ability. To be honest you wont (or probably shouldnt!) be concentrating on your speedo at this point anyway, as the 1st corner will be coming at you much quicker than you're probably used to :thumbsup:

1. as much as it takes to improve my driving :laughing-smiley-014:

2. instructor would be good for the first few laps. and yes, scaring the shit out of my gf is definately on the agenda :thumbsup:

3. stage 1 - exhaust, intercooler, pod, bc

Those mods you wont even get to the 180km/h speed limiter. You can have one of the experienced guys out with you most of the day if you want.

Passengers will need a Wakefield licence as well as drivers just so you know. I think it's about $45 a year.

When is all the payment and official booking details going to be up, just getting to impatient!

And will there be much drifting possible or will the spit the dummy?

I dunno if the officials will get cranky but I will :nyaanyaa: ha ha last time I was there I was behind a guy drifting and he screwed up so many of my laps for me, However once when I was there they had a few drift sessions through out the day so that may be the case this time too

very keen to hit the track for the first time. count me in. i will be headin down from Newie, is there anyone else going from this area?

hope to see you all there,

Boz

Quite a few coasties will be heading there... closer to the time we will organise a meetup point for everyone from around the area :)

    • 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.
