Now you just need to hold them closer to town, winton as way too far, especially for some one like me who wants to drive there have fun and drive home, a tow truck back from winton is just not an option.

its only 2.5 hours.

From frankston its a bit over 3 hours, so thats 6hrs to get there and back, i believe with the even with scrutineering and everything else is pretty much an 8hr day, thats 14 hrs, if you have to organise a tow truck back to frankston that makes it even more time and a lot more $$, and if you cant get one your screwed.

Where if we could get something going at calder, sandown or phillip island it would be a lot more user friendly.

Still want to buy and old boxy corolla and turn that into a fun drift/track car, then it wont be so much of a hassle, but still its a 14hr day plus all the shit in the days leading up.

yeh it is a bloody long day from frankston. but well worth it! (at least DECA was).

as for the tow, dont stack and dont blow anythin....?!?!?!

Ever heard the phrase "shit happens"?

Just man up and do it legally. As you say. Sh1t happens but drive in your limits and it's not gunna happen every time you go there. Motorsport is expensive. Get some mates together and stay in benalla. It's cheap and you can make a weekend of it.

I would go to the drift days except for the horror storys of cops waiting out the front to dik you, especially inconvenient 2.5hrs from home. You try to do the right thing by going to the track but it seems the jacks are trying to encourage you to do it illegally.

LOL RACV Total Care would solve that issue...

You'll find a lot of people tow their cars to these events, and *IF* something does go wrong they are usually more than happy to tow someone's car back on their trailer and drive back their car or something. Fact is i doubt if something were to happen you would be left high and dry. If you want to learn how to drift on the streets it will cost you a lot more than a tow from Winton i dare say if you get caught.

good point there!

but u wouldnt hit the track 1st time without any drifting experience. it takes time to overcome fears and build up confidence. better to spin out on roads with no1 there, then to pullout of mid drift and rear end someone or have someone else hit u, where insurance is not covered.

You're suggesting he street drifts to build up confidence? That's really smart :blink: Roads have signs, poles, tree's, animals and more importantly - people. And if they can prove it - insurance isn't going to cover reckless driving.

practise makes perfect, industrials rock wide as roads so heaps of room to fudge up

or find a shipping yard tokyo drift style :stupid:

    • 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
