Just so I know was this the car doing the grass skids?

No. It was another one with a toyota echo baby blue colour:

Mate, it was a shit "burnout". In fact, I wouldn't even call it a burnout, it was little faggy skid. I could do a better one in my mums corolla.

well the blue one with chromies was the one that was trying to be a hero on the grass area. but there were plenty of other morons who thought they would show us all how cool they were once onto the concrete.

oi! i didn't see you anywhere!!! >_<

Yeah I came at around Midday and was there till the awards, though I parked my Taxi away from the crowded car park on the far side of the field :( I didnt see your 180 either? :)

No worries Shell :( Its a good excuse for a cruise to the lovely ACT and to meet the SAU guys down there.... Oh I mean I am going down to see the other half who is working in Canberra, so il drop in and pick it up... >_<

There were a number of drivers that decided to act recklessly as they were leaving. The light blue R33 started it all by doing a burnout on the new concrete pathway, only to reach thegate to find it locked with nowhere for him or anyone else to go. :domokun:

When asked if he did a burnout, he denied it, with his passenger claiming that it was one of the cars beind them.They had no response when they were told that it was caught on film :):blush:

Anyway, enough of the negatives.One positive from this is that we can learn from this event to make the next one bigger and better.

Well done to all that participated :wacko:

sif... I helped massively :O

I'm the one that told you to open your shirt up more... that sold like eleven or twelve alone :D

I had fun!

Judging was a good expereince also!

Bring on next years!

I agree - I had a great day!

Judging was a great experience, it was good to meet so many enthusiasts and talk to them about what they had done to thier cars mechanically and physically - so much variety and so many loved and well cared for cars, it really made it hard to pick one over another! More people should get involved in the judging next time - it really is an interesting experience. Congrats to everyone who entered - you all deserve a big pat on the back!

And hell yeah - bring on the next SnS!!!

:D

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
