going on last meet, yes. though that was my first so....was a great day chasing down the wrx rookies :D

Interested, would have been great if they were using an AASA permit, then I wouldn't have to buy a CAMS license ;)

Probably time I should buy one....

So 4 * 8min runs even for the driver training group? And after say 3pm to 4pm its a little more open or....? Never been to a club track day.

I've done Sandown once with the driver dynamics group, and Winton during a fun day, but I'm only running some average street tyres and think the driver training might be a good idea...

No they will not do licenses on the day - you will need to organise it beforehand.

You have plenty of time to get it sorted out, so shouldnt be a problem.

A word of advice though, dont leave it till the last minute - these things do take a little time to organise.

You'll also need to make sure your SAU Vic membership card is up to date.

Sent off CAMS registration today via mail, faxed off the driver training entry form to the WRX club and organised the $$$.

Anyone else doing driver training?

Didn't want to slow more experienced members down on the track :)

Can anyone enlighten me on the "in Victoria" bit of the section of the Supp Regs quoted below ? I'm thinking of coming down from NSW, am a member of two CAMS affiliated clubs in NSW, and hold an L2S licence with one of those clubs. Surely I don't need to join a Victorian club as well ?

I emailed the "motorsport" address listed on the website of the WRX club a fortnight ago with the same question but haven't yet received a reply.

All drivers must hold a current CAMS Level 2S licence or higher and be a financial member of a Club

affiliated with CAMS in Victoria.

Looks like im going to have to miss this one too :P

Exam on the Monday :huh:

My exams are thankfully over by then. Hopefully it's not raining so we get a decent day like the last one. By the end of it I'd cooked my brakes because of nearly 40 laps of punishment.

I queried this on your behalf and was given the below response:

I thought Colleen had covered this!! Obviously not.

As long as he has a L2S Licence and proof of his affiliation then I am sweet with it.

Hey mate

I'll be dragging the R33 out for it's first run on the track and doing the driver training as I'm a noob!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one... Are you running an R33 also? What mods have you done?

Mine is stock turbo and ECU pulling 200+rwkw and I'm keen to see how it goes up against other R33/34s.

See ya there

R33 GTR, as per my sig, don't want to high-jack the discussion with my car specs/mods/et cetera

The WRX thread on this is here no entry list yet :D

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
