Ok time to ramp this up people. We need:

A) Excitement.

B) More entrants.

Can you all please tell all the people who you know like track or could be interested in it as we need more entrants to make this financially viable. If you are a keen and helpful club member put it in your signature and let's get this show on the road!!

I've told most of my friends... and their response has been generally soft saying they lack the monetary capacity :P

Won't stop me going, especially since I have paid lol

i've got another question, if i have my normal daily rims on the front, and stockies on the back, both with decent tread, is this an issue? all the rims and tyres are the same size, i just don't want to waste my daily tyres if i dont have to, but i will if i need to

You will probably go through front tyres too Zane so it might be worth changing the fronts too.

hhmmm i've thought this would happen, but my fronts aren't very good tyres so gives me an excuse to use them up n get better ones, man i go through some tyres :)

Quick question - Are there gonna be any "official" photo peoples there? Like Oz-event Photo or someone?

I'm official :)

We may have a few photographers there on the day. But nothing like HPI or anything.

Just seeing At some part of the day are we aloud to drift? sometimes they say yes but not sure with you guys. :(

No drifting allowed on the track at anytime especially down the straight. ( You will be pulled off if we see anything ) If we have enough time we may have a drift session or 2.

Of course you are Corinne :-)

There are those guys called Oz-event photo who i might try and contact if that's cool with the club?

On other days they rock up in the morning, start snapping away, and by the end of the day have CD's ready to go of your car. They were around $30-$40 bucks, but you get nice hi-res shots

probably a 35-45 profile. on say a 235mm wide tyre.

the compound and wall stiffness of the side wall will make a greater difference than the profile though.

i.e. while a lower profile tyre has more inherent sidewall stiffness, a tyre of higher quality sidewall (in regards to stiffness design) with a larger profile will generally speaking, perform better.

I am! CAMS says I am! I even have a special book!

Anyways I doubt anyone would want to pay that much for their photos. (I'm sure I don't) I'm sure Xmetal or link can do a better deal then that. I would prefer to support their work.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
