Wakefield Park Track Day 16/9/03- all welcome (organised by OZ GTI-R Owners Club)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

For anyone who is interested, the GTI-R Owners Club (Australian Chapter) is holding a track day at Wakefield Park, to be held on Tuesday 16 September.

The day is primarily for GTI-R owners to test their cars on the track, but as we are a small club we would welcome SAU members (or anyone) who would like to come. For the day to be fun (not too many cars) but affordable we have limited places to 35 participants. This makes the cost $50 each :D

Be aware that to drive you will either need a cams licence or a "wakefield licence" which costs $30 (valid for 1 year) and you will need to have (or hire for $20) an approved helmet. For more info on Wakefield Park go to: http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au

If you would like to come, you will need to pay your $50 in advance, to do so, or for more infor PM me :D

This will be a great day and a chance to get away from speed limits and speed humps and enojy your car as it's maker intended.

ha haah - just a joke for the GTiR guys.

A GTiR that ran an 11.4. should go better soon...

But yeah, hope you can come, the more the merrier. :)

C'mon guys! Where are all the die-hard track-fiend, schumacher wannabe skyline pilots? Consider this: A lightly modified GTST should be a good match for a gti-r. Both 2 litre (1 a 6, 1 a 4), both single turbo, one rear wheel drive, one four wheel drive. I guarantee a good day :P

Duncan,

We have hired the track for the day :)

Hope to see some of you there.

Wooo Hoo! Almost empty track!

I'll have to confirm closer to the date, but I'll be along for sure if work is OK...can't wait to whip some of those little gtirs :)

BTW, 11.4sec is bloody quick around wakefield, I can hardly get below 71sec :D

The only way I am going to beat one of these things around the track is if it has stock suspension with compliance wheels and tyres:cool:

& maybe if he has his hands sticky taped to the steering wheel!

I didn't have this much power of the FMIC last time I went down. best time I did all day was 1 min 21 secs. my mate with the stock as a rock MR2 did a 1 min 16secs I think. he was laughin the whole way home!

I may be able to fit it in...let you know closer.

I think they're talking about that straight line track thingy not real driving Duncan. :D [flack jacket]

maybe let us know how many places are available for SAU members!!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
