Entered :blink:

Zaver: Driver training is conducted on track within their own group. You can drive your car, or have an instructor from the club drive the car and show you what lines to take and how to get around the track safely. It isn't timed as far as I'm aware, but I could be wrong.

So what do u suggest i go for Driver training or the normal thing?? I just want a the maximum track time.. So i can get better.. Is there only a certain period for driver training or is it full day like the others??

And BTW are passengers allowed without a roll cage??

Well my entry is in.

and Remember Folks this is the last round of the Club championship this year, so if you were thinking of coming out to play now is your last chance!

Zaver, there are usually 5-6 groups during the day that take it in turns on the track, (to keep numbers at a managble level.) and cars are groups roughly by speed. plus one for Driver training. (this usually has the last number in it so less ppl on the track)

so DT gets the same amount of track time as all the other cars. plus cost less!

these days are run nothing like the drift days. we have a passenger session if there is time, otherwise it is just you and your instructor if you go for DT.

IF you are a bit unsure and want to get some pointers the DT is the way to go. your instructor can give you the basics you need like technique and lines and if you feel up to it and your instructor is on the same page most people usually end up going out on their own later in the day.

Ill be there, i think. unfinished business.

Well then i guess im in.. Will be going for Driver training!! My friend wants to passenger with me just for this track day , so do u guyz know any place where he can get a helmet from just for the day.. As after that he has no use of it!!

If you enter as a DT you will be allocated an instructer by the WRX club. This is your passenger for the day.

You can't just take anyone out with you.

The idea being that it is Driver TRAINING, so you will have an instructor to give you a few pointers and help you get a feel for circuit sprints...

As said before, there are often passenger sessions during the day that your friends can jump in your car for maybe one or two sessions..

Other than that it is only you in the car.... (Or you and instructor if you do DT)

I''ll get to the form shortly but count me in for this.

Provided I don't bin the car on Monday.

EDIT: Forgot to ask, do we need a cage to take a passenger at these days?

Without a doubt

Don't get caught on the street with that de-cat pipe. They are illegal and being an emissions related offense will carry a heavy fine.

Swap it on at that the track. There will be more than enough jacks and tools if you don't have your own :)

This passes:

It all depends on frequencies though, as some cars with a very deep exhaust note get pinged.

But yeah, 95DB at 30m is quite loud. I'm not sure if it is 95db though, as right next to it it says 75db... but the last Winton was 95.

Yeah of course. I've heard it's some ridiculous fine for not have a cat. I might actually need help, I have a jack and stands but it cant lift the car high enough (with the bloody kit on it) to get under there.

Although this stupid front bar will be definitely be gone by then. Whether or not it's yellow or black still is another story.

Alright, you've convinced me. I'm in.

Driver Training and Novice class right?

Drive your car up onto two bits of wood or something first then you can put something on top of the jack to give you the extra height you need, also, be sure it's on stands to work on it.

Don't stress, with all the people there, we'll find a way to swap it out. Or if you're staying down there just do it at the hotel/caravan park etc and drive it to winton from there.

Oh man. I tried that once, the big nasty crack on the left hand side of the front bar is from me misjudging and rolling the car off the blocks and the blocks then catching the car by the bar itself.

I'm not fussed to be honest, I doubt it'll make a huge difference on my NA beast, but it'd be fun to make those fireballs :)

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
