Any objections to a random spectator? I won't have my brakes done by then so unwilling to hurt them much in the condition they are in, but don't mind watching.

Spectors ar enot only welcomed, they are encouraged! Please come along anyway.

As for your brakes, its not a really high speed type setup so std brakes will be fine. Top speed will probably be around 90-100kph. Plus, its not a race, so no need to put unnecassary pressure on yourself or the car.

As long as your car would pull up they would be fine, in my opinion if you would drive it on the street you could drive it on the skidpan ;) From memory once or twice I hit about 110 (maybe a bit more) last time out before I thought it would be a better idea to get on the brakes rather than try to clear the grass onto the v8 track :P That's a great thing about it with the instructors, you find out so much more about good braking points & turning lines :)

I'm waiting on confirmation of our paintball windup before I start swapping sessions. That said, if we can attend the afternoon session then I'm looking for another spot in the arvo for my mate :dry:

What shop is the best to purchase helmets from? I've failed to try and find a thread where I recall I think someone saying the Suzuki Bike Shop in Midland was meant to be good with good prices too. I cbf shopping around, rather just go to one shop and get the helmet with little fuss.

There's a new place next to Superchump in Morley that sells helmets and stuff.

If you're investing in a new helmet for motorsport activities then you might want to make sure you get a proper car racing helmet (can't remember what the regs and codes are) as motorcycle and car helmets are different.

If anyone is willing to swap from afternoon to morning let me know.

Seul_avec who is currently signed in for morning would rather go afternoon...

I'll take that swap if it's not already taken :banana:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
