silly me!! d'oh!

Thanks Bobby!

James - rear seat is piss easy :)

Sucks now, no passengers are allowed, so my mrs wont be going :D

Yeah i saw that on the Autosports site.

Pretty stupid i think. I haven't been to 100's of track days, but the one's i have been to I am yet to see any issues with passengers or people mucking up with passengers.

It was part of the attraction for me.

chubs, you're going down.......my new bigger wheels will give me road contact, my bodykit will save me some weight and my big ass wing will give me more downforce................and I wouldn't be surprised if I score a slower time than before LOL

I should be faster in theory..........but we all know, a lot of things work well in theory.... like communism.

Most likely I'll be heading down early in the morning e.g. 5:30 or 6 so anyone wanting to meet up, arrange something.

I will be there, though i leave from campbelltown so won't be meeting up.

If you pass a white ford ute pulling a black silvia give me a wave.

My car won't be ready in time. It'll be running tomorrow but really needs a tune and an alignment before seeing action.

James, I was 1 second slower than you in the pouring rain :D

but bring it on biatch!!!!!!

lol not that I can bring it since it's still missing a lot of the go fast bits. I've been focusing too much on go pretty bits these days. As long as I don't go slower than my old times I'll be happy.

Same :w00t:

Thing was that big EVO crash from last track day, he didnt have a passenger in the car.

But dont worry, our SAU Track day will have passengers, I hope :)

Yep we will be having passengers for driver training at out Track day! :D

yeah, i think it came down to the evo not knowing what the fu(k was going on and the driver was used to the car doing all the work....

Probably a bit harsh, but after watching a few pretty big moments out of turn 10 in my rear vision mirror where a couple of evos figured they'd just drive straight past me on the inside before they were straight (and ensuing massive primary and secondary oversteer moments before they gathered it up), and seeing a couple more do it when i was on the pit wall, someone had to have an off there.

It was unfortunate it was such a big one and i don't wish it on anyone despite my opinion of evo drivers..... :thumbsup: give me a challenging car to drive any day!

Nah you are right there Dave,

I totally agree.

To be honest - the guy before the crash was going hard, I'd say 10 tenths. He was over taking people underbrakes in the wet, whereever possible. Even when there was the big drivers breifing to not drive hard out there. He simply didnt listen.

And yes, as an SAU VIC member once said, "even Stevie Wonder can drive an EVO quick"

A challenging RWD FTW!!! :D

nothing wrong with going 10 tenths :D I did it myself when the dryish line started to appear. Then i put a wheel in the wet stuff :D and my front right wheel did a good impersonation of a shovel..... Bastard car is still dripping mud on my back slab when it rains.

Though i am quite happy to take all the credit for my quality driving :D

Out of interest, has anyone here signed up for the tamperedmotorsport day on the 22nd? 50 cars, $140, timing included. Pretty sure it's the new owner running it

amen brotha......

weather should be fine, I checked yesterday.

cross a few fingers that I get the bucket seat in before saturday

If anyone here does a rain dance I'll slap you into 2009 :down:

Dave - oh mate, in the dry I'll try and go as hard as possible! I just think that day wasnt the day to do it!! :P

Ben - yeah mate bring the semi's you'll be right :P

Michele - w0000000t go for the formula!! that will be awesome to watch!!

James - cool mate what seat? You'll be really surprised how much it holds you in! With my standard seat I was fighting myself from sliding in the seat round corners, which makes me lose concentration on the actuall corner!

my bucket seat helps a shitload!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
