Seems to be some nice wide roads in Silverwater's industrial estates, as well as those around Hills Motorsports ... I'll keep you up to date of drifting action :!: I'll be a certain turn up at the next organised track day or down the skid pan, we'll have to give it a whirl.

jim take some advise.

you have a weapon of a car in more ways than one.

go out and spend some cash on some good advaced driving courses and keep the boost down for now.

most of us have done these course they teach you all about car control etc. It is the best money you will spend I did my first one 20 years ago and have done 8 or 10 and gee they are a great day out where you can push your car and learn about it under instruction and on a track where you are fairly safe.

Already have 2 booked meggs 8) Just waiting till I get the alarm installed before I take the car out. Certainly a good idea tho your right, get to learn how your car handles in situations you may not otherwise encounter until they occur on the road .... I'm all for it and will be looking for my another after I complete these two :!:

skyzerr, the trick to drifting is making sure that you dont use all that power. purely and simply because you dont need it

all you need is second and third gear and keep your revs low and focus on maneuvering your vehicle.

if you really want to test your self

do a fishtail run

find a nice empty piece of private road :roll: and see how many times you can go from lock to lock without losing control :twisted:

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
