haha been there done that, 1 person doesnt mean anything if the rest of the drifters sit back and just accept what ever happens. the reason i post it on the forum is to promote ideas, and possibly influence people into putting similar ideas to rob.

mallala will only react to something that will be harder, or cost them $$, if it will effect them (loss of business)

I totally understand and respect why its mentioned on the forum Nisskid, I guess its just 'easier' to sit back and let whatever happen, happen.

Surely one voice with the backing of many would get through to the owners/organizers of Mallala?

yeh but getting the true backing of many is near impossible in the drift world, no one really wants to stand up and do something, would rather sit on their computers and complain on the forums unfortunately.

like i said, i have put ideas to them in the past, and i will have a chat with them on the 14th. last time i talked about the 3 group layout they said they didnt think it worked when they used it, i dont know how they came up with that conclusion.

btw i have a ridiculous amount of tyres atm, let me know if u need anything to skid on, tonnes of mismatched pairs with good tread, perfect for skids

pics of the 17: 225/45 pls >_<

pics of the 17: 225/45 pls >_<

hey mate, dont have any pics, but here's some details on them:

2x 225/45 - Continental ContactSport II - 60% tread - $90pr

2x 225/45 - Goodyear/Wanli (mismatched pair) - 60-70% tread - $70pr

the rest of the tyres can be seen here:

dont wanna spam this thread with my crap.

I just went on the Mallala website to be happily surprised that they have added another DAY date for 4th Sept 10am start.

f**kYEAH!

Least they're recognizing their is an increase in demand and adding moar dates. Super keen on another session of day skids! Still heading out this Saturday too

they are stressing that tailem bend is here offering day time praccies for less, demand has been there, even moreso for a long time, but like i said, mallala wont do anything until it effects their business, like drifters being swayed away from mallala for the more appealing tailem bend.

I guess tailem bend opening is the best thing that could have happened so far for the SA drift scene, competition to drive each other to offer a better experiance. I'll have to get out to tailem bend soon for a slide

hmmm i havent paid for my stadium drift entry at tailem bend on the 28th august yet, was going to wait and see how the car

went this sat night before hand, but now im considering not going and waiting till sept 4th day prac???

hmmmm

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
