Don't race it uses more petrol, and the cost of that will soon out weigh the fine anyway!

But yeah, your age, most places want you to do a defensive driving course before an advanced (which teaches you skidcontrol) I'd strongly suggest you do both. Can help reduce your insureance as well in some cases, also looks good on your resume.

If your tyres are speed rated to 140kmh... I dare say they aren't very good, I'd be saving up for some new ones that might be a little better.

As everyones been saying, head out to willowbank, just get out there early to maximise your runs. Its $36 and includes a passenger. So 3 times heading out there is the cost of 3 speeding fines???

I thought people only double clutched in old cars and in new cars its just pointless.

i dare you to try and drive my car without double clutching and rev matching on the down shifts......

If you like Drifting too I would be more then happy to show you things I have leaned, and chuck you around in the passanger seat.

can i take u up on that offer 2 please. lol

I'm a P plater

i am 2 mate, the difference between us is the law isn't retrospective, i drive turbo'd model,

i'v raced 1 person and i won't do it again, it scared the shit out of me personally, r

it's just not worth it bud, forget it.

$3,500 a year for normal insurance with Just Car

also how old are u exactly, they wanted 2 charge me $3000 for a 95 turbo'd model,

i dropped my premium (bad spelling) by increasing my excesses, so i got the premium down to $1500 upfront.

pls do yourself and every1 around u a favour, get full comprehensive insurance.

Damn you guys get ripped on insurance these days!! Full comp on my old 33 (turbo, exhaust but otherwise stock at the time) cost me $750 or so from memory, when I was 20. That was a while ago though *cry*

stop racing commodore drivers before you have an accident ;)

Hey Beau, I can I take you up on that one day? :)

Ofcourse , I love showing off , just have to be wearing the right stuff and come up and say hello at QR or Archy (no pass at parklands)

Beau it'd be great if you could show me how to drift. I was thinking of taking my car drifting and stuff but i know nothing about it and i don't want to damage my car. Also what is the skidpan? How much does it cost to take your car to these places?

Skidpan is a barricaded carpark that is watersprayed at QR drift nights , to teach new drifters car control in a car and person safe environment for $50

look in events section for the next meeting

And as above just come and see me at the track and I will be more then happy to take you out on the big track , my name is on the car it's a dark blue R32 skyline 4 door with a 34 front end blue tacked to the front!

Beau

    • Yeap, not as doorty as ITB's, but alot more doorty than before, induction sound great when I'm up it 🤗
    • Any difference in induction noise?
    • If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.
    • Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
