This is starting to look good guys :D Thats 4 of us confirmed now, so i'll organise a meet up time and place for the day so we can all cruise up as a group. It'll be as follows:

Meeting Place: Shell servo at EPIC (Off Federal Hwy)

Time: 6.50am to 7am Arrival Time for a 7am Leave Time. (If we want Maccas at Goulburn then i suggest we leave earlier...).

Everyone should know where this is by now. I know its early, but if we arrive at the track by 8am it should give us plenty of time to claim a garage spot, prep the cars and get our licences sorted. Remember that a lot of other people will be there doing the exact same thing as us, so the earlier the better. I'm happy to give 1st timers some tips and a 'hotlap' if you want it, so if your unsure please ask as I'd rather help you out at the start rather than help you out of a wall!!! (I'm sure it won't happen :thumbsup: )

Confirmed:

1. Frink

2. ZCR

3. DriftGTS

4. CeJay

This one might be for mick, asked in the other thread, but anyway, semi slicks or slicks, should they be balanced for the track? Had one mob say they thought you shouldn't do it, due to a possible issue of the wheels weights flying off on the track? True or BS?

if you've ever driven a car without a wheel balance or lost wheel weights you'll know the answer to that....

..... BS! NO tyre is perfectly round, so drive fast on an unbalanced wheel, the vibration will shake your arms off!

Cool nanas, wont be getting it done there then, once liked this place, (wont name it) but definately won't be getting it done there. Thought it sounded a bit weird. Could see his argument but thought the wheel would be out of balance then.

Sought of wondering when this thing is going to start, might be an idea to meetup at Shell around 6:15-6:20, grab something to eat at maccas and get to the track around 8 ish. If everything goes well will need to change all 4 of my rims at the track when I get there. Just don't want to be rushing around to get that stuff done.

keeping to the theme of race prep,

this will be my first track day in my daily....im guessing track days munch tyres?!?!?

im going to be using my bf goodrich street tyres ($$$) should i race out and get some el cheapo's???

enlighten me :(

I'd say checkout www.powerplayimports.com , bought 4 semi slicks from them for 125$ each. Don't plan on munching my Good year Eagles on a track day too, there too exy.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
