Recommended Posts

Hi Tom, get there as early or as late as you like. Things start to happen at around 9.30am. I fyou get there early and ask around then you may be able to bags shotgun for a ride in a car if they have passenger laps in the early session ((So maybe bring a helmet if you own one )

I'll be running around... holding a steering wheel and making car noises.... :)

weird... its like you know exactly what I do for fun on the weekends :rofl::rofl:

hopefully its a nice day on sunday and I can make it down for a little spectating

good luck all

Perfect track weather, but a crappy day for me :)

Apart from having only 4 hours sleep, I had major over-boosting problems in the practice session after 1 flying lap... 2.2 Bar is a little more than I usually run :rolleyes: Big thanks to Troy and Wayne for helping out with troubleshooting.

Very frustrated as the car is handling great, just a shame i couldn't get to enjoy it today. *sigh* Why doesn't any of this shit ever happen when dyno tuning!??

I made it through the day without a scratch in Brisby's car (however i did have a nice spin, definition of nice spin = I didn't hit anything!) , I went very very slowly and I'm glad to have done another track day so soon after last weekend! Need to get used to no ABS! :D

Thanks Bris for giving me a drive!

I'll go back out at Deca next week and hopefully get a better feel for the car...

Group 1 posted some super quick times, well done! :thumbsup:

Bigbird and i had a great day today. Car didnt miss a beat. Just needs more power!!! We are losing so much time down those damn straights going nowhere! Thats what we will fix this week...

What an ace day besides my car being GAY and the Turbo blowing itself to HELL!!!

Banana blew more smoke than a (enter creative comment here)

Massive thanx to Jack and Ray for their help today sorting the car to its Holiday resort :thumbsup:

Well what a day!!! Was out to get 1:18 and did my best time in the first session... But bad luck struck in the third session, I munched 5th gear (again!!)..

Oh well, I got my consistent high 1:18's but dissapointed I couldn't go for low 18's...

Well done to Snowy in joining the 'Sandown Teen Club', must be pleased with the time and finally finish a track day with no issues!!!!!

Also Newton in Scotsman's car, 1:20.5 is very impressive mate, the boy's got talent....

Not sure what time Chris posted, but the car is very sorted....

Bad luck to Aaron, another one session track day....

Also well done to everyone else who had a go...

Cheers..

Well done Jack, top effort. Every time you post a vid, i just have to view it at least 4 times, just love the way you drive and the way your car handles. Sorry to hear about yet another gearbox failure. Have you considered a cross-gear set?

Good to see SMAUG also back out there in full glory!

Ryan great to see your car is looking better than ever!!!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • 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
