Yeah top work dan..

Benm... Tyres didnt like the treatment, once warm they where okay, but a lap later they where to hot and just didnt grip. Was fun anyway, I would not call it drift.. More like sliding around, so I emjoyed it. Went for a session with dino (who is a top notch instructor) and worked more on my technique. After dino's lessons I was hammering around alot smoother and using the track more.

Brakes Held up 100%

Tyres I think need to be replaced

Car performed perfectly!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was there a white bug eye sti that blew engine yesterday? it came to our workshop (scuderia veloce) only to find out his warranty got rejected... aftermarket exhuast system and circuit racing... NONO for warranty... feel sorry for that poor man...

I think there was one, didn't hear about it blowing anything but then I wasn't listening.

Funny, you would have thought an STI would be designed well enough to cope happily with an exhaust swap (which shouldn't really change all that much) and a bit of track work. But I suppose they only design them just well enough for 40 year old mid-life-crisis candidates to burble lumpily around the city in and make PPSSSSHHHHHHHHH noises at 2000RPM shifts.

(note, I'm not showing brand favouritism here even though I laugh at wrx's weak gearboxes - I'm just being cynical at how cars and a lot of other things in life are designed these days.. ie cheaply. sigh).

Great day, good to see a bunch of old faces again, i'm going to have to do this more often!! (although i don't think i can justify driving each time)

DAN - thanks for taking me out a couple of times, showing the RIGHT line and the DORIFT line - loads of fun :D

I think i took out 1/2 the life of my new tyres.. the mrs won't be impressed! oh well, means i can justify track tyres :D

Oh and yeah, they did get you waving

oh - someone wanted laptimes - well i only had my last (i think it was 4th) session timed (thanks Dal) and the best i did was about 2:01 (with 2 2:02s and a 2:03 thrown in)

Hey guys,

Was my pleasure to organise as always.

Am really hanging for the incar footage from the prankster... will it be long mate?

I took my "drift" tyres off when I got home and noticed that I might have done a bit more damage than I had thought!

The result of drifting turns 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 12!

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
