Was fun, I heard that there isn't going to be a Motoconcepts day for the month of Sept - time to go to Wakefield?

Some good pics there - including Roy's 85 degree drift in his Hino truck -

But they dont smoke:( . I still have much to learn.

As for lap times, i was apparently in the 1:56s, hand timed by sea sick passenger.

Oh and thanks to DoughBoy for handing over his keys when my Hino called it quits. I hate to say but im a fanboy :D

B-man, that one I did hold... was plenty of grip with those tyres on... but cost me too much to buy them so I only drifted on them once.

I strapped on some old "bedrock" tyres for the last few sessions and tryed my best to finish them off... sadly I failed after 4 sessions of giving them hell... one lap I drifted turns 2,3,4,5,7,9 and 12, not continuelessly (spelling) and they still didn't die... so they shall be making a return to eastern creek to be put into there grave. With these tyres one I had some pretty smokey looses!!!! All I believe should have been captured on film and I'm sure Prank will have them up shortly??? (Please please Prankster I really want to see how that rear veiw mirror shot worked, or didn't work)

Was a great day guys... I was in bed and very well asleep by 8:30!

Thanks all that came out to play... was good to see you all there and hope that you all had a good time!

Dan.

8:30? That's a bit soft considering you slept in :rofl:

I had fun in the little pulsar, didn't really explore uncharted waters but I had a bit of a fang around the track, it managed 170 down the straight. With a bit more track knowledge I could hold more speed through the corners and get my times down, but that's really a task for the next car which will also be RWD and more powerful... the pulsar is going to stay in the family when I get my next one so I have to be nice to it!

Thanks to Dan for organising, I enjoyed the day. :)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
