Mona you should follow Krystle's example. There is nothing to be scared of. If worried about your car, turn boost down. If worried about losing it, it doesn't matter, nothing to hit. If you're worried about Shonen beating you at something, let his tyres down.

Remember we need to save some slots for "Paul" Pancho Villa and the Mexicans. They save us spots for DECA so we should keep 10 spots for them. I don't think you will have any problems filling this up.

Mona - much more fun than the track. Much easier on the car.

For all our younger members who think they are hot on the streets - boys - lets see if you can do something that requires skill. Anyone with HP can smoke tyres....

I've been on the skid pan, I know how much fun it is, even if you're "3 seconds slower"! (That's f**k ALL over such a long distance)

and it's so hella fun, plus everytime you turn the key to head out, you learn something new about your vehicles handling technique.

awww.. thanks so much for the encouragement, but i can't make the 18th sept anyway! have a wedding to attend ;) won't even have time for a look see as i'll probably be with the bride all day :P

anyways, i'll just attend a skid pan day and see how i like going sideways! After the wet track yesterday, its made me realise how important it is to learn to control the car in all situations :)

Anyways, have fun all, and prob see you at the next one :(

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 馃ぃ馃憤   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 馃槂
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
