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:

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      Blue slip

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
