Goodmorning!

How tough is the scruteneering on tires at Mallala?

.. Also, do you have to wear gloves and do your shoes need to be leather?

I am awere you are to wear flame resistent clothing from ankle, wrist to neck... I dont want to rock up and not pass because shoes and gloves or whatnot.

Thanks!

Private track days are self-scrutineered, basically by signing the forms, you are saying your car is roadworthy. You dont need gloves, and your shoes dont need to be leather. Its pretty lax, but just make sure you dont roll your sleeves up as you are driving out, i got told when i was out there last time to roll them down, then i can go out!

Ahh ok. Thankyou!

I have signed the forms but they still said there will be scrutineering on the day before we can go out. My rear tyres arnt very good at all so I think ill have to get new ones.

Its not the SAUSA Track day as I couldnt afford that one. Its the MCSA Come and Try day (my friend from the Alpha club enrolled me), its got laps with a trainer and then laps on my own after.

Next Sunday (if my car does ok on the dyno this weekend)! Im so nervous. Haha

Definatly get new tyres, lack of traction for a track day will ruin the buzz and avoid you from pushing hard, you don't want to get everything organized and out there on the track to only experiance a f**k load of over steer to stop you taking corners as hard as you would like. It'll piss you off by the end of the day, trust me.

Normal track days, YOU are responsible for ensuring your car is track worthy.

Events like Time Attacks, they will check for leaks (fuel/oil), brake pedal feel, brake lights working, steering slackness, no loose items outside car, no loose items inside car (empty glove box etc) ... and of course, long sleeves, pants, good shoes, and of course a lid.

:(

BTW after last weekend, my Bridgestones got a hell of a workout ... might need new rubber soon myself :(

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
