in all seriousness now when i go go-karting i just use gardening gloves.. they're the 'dearer' gardening gloves with suede but they'll do the trick if ur gettin sweaty hands

10bux job done. i mainly use them to avoid blisters.. :)

This might be a little off topic lol, but does any of you guys grind your teeth or crunch your jaws when going through the really twisted roads?

I did that for the whole weekend and now my jaw is really sore :S

invest in a mouthguard?

hahahahah, so we'll now be cruising the twisties with driving gloves, helmets and mouth guards....

and to be extra safe, make sure you're ready for the 'duct tape death match' as well, hands won't ever come off then :)

but yeah, something like suede on leather would probably be pretty grippy

I don't know if that will work lol, but maybe I'll give it a try next time xD

At least I'll get to keep my teeth if I happen to brake really quickly and I smack my face on the steering wheel lol

Hey all

The GOR cruise really highlighted the fact that I need driving gloves for mountain twisties. Not because I'm a wannabe racer, but I remember a few spirited corners with sweaty palms and just dreading what would happen if my grip loosened a bit.

Does anyone know of decent gloves that aren't bulky and have enough grip in them? Had a look on ebay, and the only half-decent ones for car driving are the go-kart ones.

The more expensive Nomex ones I found from another post are like >$100 delivered

GMP gloves

OMP Gloves

What are people's experiences with these or cheaper alternatives? Is Nomex the be all and end all? Also if I am looking at doing track work in the future do I need "FIA approved gloves"?

Thanks.

Do they come with a matching skirt? jks

This whole thread is farkin hilarious :D . Thanks for the sAfrican Americans! Edit: I'd better use the word chuckles instead of s-n-i-g-g-e-r-s

Sorry to get serious, but if you sweat more than other people > try Magnesium supplements for a month and recap.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
