Of course.. anyone can join in.. even if you have some crappy run about.. :)

Great.. Thanks for that..

Matt.. Stop whoring! lol.. And I told you my pillow and blanket would take up half of the boot!

And then you can sleep in the other half still!

also wanting some advise.....dont know what wheels to have for the day. I have a set of stockies with good rubber but only 205, and a set of 19" with 235 on the front and 275 on the rear. the stockies i couldnt care about and would encourage me to find the dry patches to tear it up, but overall have way worse handling and stability. The 19" i dont care about too much more except that they weigh a hell of a lot more, and if it aint going to help with handling im not going to bother......let me know what you guys think...

Count me in. Paid under SAU ID

I wouldnt be chewing up the good rubber.. and 19's may not be the best way to go..

No time to pick up a cheapo 2nd hand set of tyres?

Brendan,

Go the smaller, crappy tyres.

Oran Park skid pan isnt the words best...concrete is all uneven, gets bumpy and some of these exercises will be very stressfull on tyres.

the watering system...if you can call it that, doesnt do much of a job.

there will bemany dry patches, esp if they dont use the two water trucks...some of the parts of the pan that are wet, are on braking and turn in parts - makes it more trickier :P

Last day I was there for a motokharna, I chewed up my tyres from handbrake turns to power sliding the whole pan. there is nothing left on those tyres!!!and if I do this day - I'll be using one of my many spares I have :laugh:

Thanks for that Jon... Looks like pedro has a chance!

Corinne,

looks highly unlikely now I'll be able to make it...

just spent almost 3k on fights and tours....

IF there is room and its last minute, Im sure I can scrounge up some $$$ but at this stage, highly unlikely

    • 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.
