In a 60 zone?! Where in Townsville is it? Has a track been set up on the streets a la Indy ?

Yarp... V8's are on this weekend and its a street circuit...

Jealous. How did you score this? Is it like an upgrade over those V8 experience days?

I have a Cams license and a mate of mine is a engineer for one of the top V8 teams...

He pointed me in the direction of "Prodrive" which is the company behind the FPR V8 team...

They also put allot into the aussie race cars...

Anyway my lap times in practice at QR the other month were enough to impress a few so they invited me to drive their car in Townsville...

As its my first time around this closed street circuit I have to do a full days training before driving on this track...

You don't need to go to townsville to hit 200kph legally, I hit it at lakeside regularly. In the pintara no less, a real car could smash 200 at QR :ph34r:

We are limited in the aussie racecars to 200 hence my comment...

I really have no idea how fast this track is, until this afternoon I really wont know...

QR is very different to a concrete jungle like the gold coast & townsville...

I'm not clicking that. Give me a real link or tell me where it is :ph34r:

Your loss, it's the first result

In soviet russia prostitue pays you?

Awesome, i think i'll go to russia for my next holiday

    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol. 
    • I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.
    • I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
