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 :(

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
