Ive always used semi's on the dry skid pans for timed events, works well and have placed pretty well in scoring in them.

The trick is, smoother is better, hand brake turns would be the only time they get worn (besides the start on take off, and any lock up) If you time the hand break turn right, you'll have minimal wear anyway :(

So in other words....Don't be a girl :P :P :(

DM - haha nice one!! Your just lucky my 33 isnt going to be there for your competition :(

LOL, Ok then - I'll use my semi's, you use yours and we'll see who ends up being quicker than who :(

Quick question... Is anyone going on the dry skidpan with semi slicks on?

I know that there are a lot of handbrake turns needed but the problem will be that I have a nice new set of semi slicks that I have just finished bedding in and I dont really want to shred them in one day. :D

My semis are already bolted on and I will be driving to Canberra on them. Can’t be bothered tracking two sets of tyres. If I smoke them on then skid pan so be it. I know smooth is faster but smoke and sideways is more fun. I will drive properly on the track (I promise). Mine are only Azenis so they are not real semis anyway.

Go dirty sartywan's!!!!

i'll be there in tha sillo, with slidie tyrez on ze rearz

GOING FOR SLOWEST YET MOST ENTERTAINING ON SKID PAN!!!

*still be quicker then Bullet32*

proper semis will be rubbish without a warm up.

if you have something like a 595rs or rt215/615 thats been scrubbed in it's the tyre to have in this sort of event. Something that has highish grip but doesn't need a lot of heat to get going. I've found my RS's to be pretty damn good on a skid pan

I would have loved to have been involved in this but i have work tomorrow and the car's still off the road. Hopefully next time. I so want to drive that back bit of track :D.

Im not racing at all :(

I did 1.40 and came 5th :)

well last time i came 14th with a 31 with stock motor and suspension and locked diff.

only the diff is the same, so bring it on!! hahaha

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
