Yeah Kerry Wade, I spent a bit of time helping fix that evo, welll I handed people tools and kicked the tyres a little.

Nah I was just joking, I'm aware he's a great driver. Owns a bridgestone in Cannington I believe with his business partner Graham?

Hi mate,

This will be a SAUWA club event, of which members of the club are given preference to the event. You can join the club if you want, link http://wa.skylinesaustralia.com/sauwa.php

If you just want to remain a public forum member, then you could participate in some of the public events that AHG run etc.

Cheers

Paul

The first of the AHG Driver Training events is now up in the SAUWA Members area, with the possibility of running a second event if there is enough interest.

A number of the SAUWA Members do track days at Barbagello, but we do this with the No Limits Car Club http://www.nolimitevents.com/, as you need about 35+people to break even on the cost of an event like that.

There are alsp HillClimb runs etc at Jack's Hill, but they are also run by other clubs.

Cheers

Definately interested in an AHG day or 10 ........... Would love to get out there and learn the capabilities of my car in a safe environment. Barbagallo sounds win and skidpan day sounds awesome. I'll keep checking back to see the progress, cost and what not and if anyone becomes of it I am definately in.

Any news on this. Numbers yet? Any possible dates or number of spots filled/left?

Obviously you need to be a SAUWA member first.

If you don't want to join the club, then you're best off calling AHG directly to see if they have any open events happening soon.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
