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!

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
