If you just want to get out on the track for the sake of cutting some laps then go for it, but if your intention is going after the clock forget it. If I have nothing else to do i'll pop in for a looksie.

I don't think it will be too bad, especially since it's not full up yet.

Circuit Club days are usually pretty good, there is a lot of fast drivers in the club so you don't get held up that much.

FAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK

I just rang a work mate whop was out there, said he went through two tyre walls??

Yeah demolished one wall and got stopped by the second. He hit pit wall right at pit exit (flag booth) first. Lift-off oversteer from what I saw, it looked sideways at the 100 metre mark!

Painful painful, the guy was ok though I think, I'm sure I saw him standing next to the car later while it was on the tow truck.

An R32 Golf met its maker too, over cooked and slid off turn 1. So much carnage.

Ouch, not good at all >_<

Any times Matt?

Yeah it was a dissapointing night for me though. First time in the new car, first time on EC, but only got the first two sessions in and then the front drivers side tyre fell apart like nothing I've ever seen and I was forced to retire!

Ran 2 mins flat in it though in those two sessions. It definitely highlighted the need for stiffer suspension as I was apparently hardly keeping the inside wheels on the ground while I was cornering.

Ended up moderately ok after the night.

But now i'm trying to salvage any parts from the car, from previous mods that weren't damaged, to sell off.

:D

So if anybody is interested. Anything from the car that isn't damaged is up for sale. PM me.

have to start from square one. :D , its totally fu**ed. >_<

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
