Hey all just curious as to what we do if it rains??? Are we still on???

I know my tyres are hoping for rain ;) .....

Worse case scenario for me probably keep my daily tyres on, as they are pretty good in the wet, somehow don't think my semi's will be any good in the wet.

Yeah the last wakefield day I went to it was fairly damp in the morning so I left my street tyres on... After 1-2 sessions though the racing line dried up really quickly.

Fuel is a part of life. With the petrol price rising we all have to deal with it. It's a 1/4 tank to get down there from the start of the M5 a full day on the track in my car takes up another 1/4 full day in the GTR is 1/2 tank.

Wow thats good economy last track day i did at wakey i got 60 kms racing to 3/4 of a tank

Yeah.. strongly recommend bringing some jerry cans with fuel. It's a 15 min drive to Goulburn which eats into your track time if you have to go fill up... You dont want to race on less than a 1/8 tank because you can starve the pump of fuel when you're belting around corners :happy:

Last day I did I went through about 70L of fuel.

You'll be fine with semis on driving on the road :ermm: (cop wise)

backseat out is easy, however I can fot my tyres in with my backseat in....although mine is a boat

Not when they have printed "for competition use only" on the sidewalls on each tire lol. :happy:

Wasn't going to spectate at this trackday however i've just realised my parents will be up here (Penrith) staying a night at my place which means there place in Goulburn will be vacant - hrmmm that sounds like a fair swap for the weekend.

If I do end up going down I can help out Abo.

pfft I'm going to go broke with all these extra's :P:ermm: Think I have a jerry can somewhere, anyone got an attachment/cone to fill up, as I think mines a big jerry can.

I'll have a funnel... just ask :happy:

    • 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.
