If think its going to be a lot more work than you think and how are u going to cough up the 20k for the track.

Easier for you to just book all your mates into a track day.

People have no idea the work the behind the scenes guys do for free. I'm not one but am mates with most of the SAU Motorsport commitee. Even the fact you didn't get the Medics answer says your in over your head.

Plus I wouldn't imagine you'll get away with doing skids there. Its an International circuit.

and he didnt understand the CAM affiliation.

may i suggest paintball in the bush ?

if i wanted to go paintballing then i would have buddy.

+1

f**k u lil sam lol

why dont you get winton? :woot:

been there so many times man, always wanted to go a round on the island u know/

in any case, make sure you let us know where and when :woot:

will do mate

Maybe instead of trying to book it out yourself, find a drive day at PI and book out most of the spots. You will probably get a discount for doing so and it will mean you don't have to bother with all the work and all the $$$

Otherwise if you have 20k then go for it :woot:

hi charlie

ill keep that in mind its a very good idea

thanks

Don't know if you've worked out the full cost yet. PI would be good as there is a lack of laps with 100 cars or so at a track day.

If it is looking too expensive/hard. For a stag do in the UK, did x-road dirt buggy which was a great laugh with mates so how about Extreme Drive in V8 Race Buggies http://www.redballoon.com.au/experience/OFR251. Not been to this one but worth a thought if PI doesn't work out.

i dont wanna drive some shit heap buggy thing.

i wanna drive my car and my friends wanna drive their own cars simple as that.

ive got a big 4wd anyways if i need to go offroad, but its really not mu thing.

$150 CAMS licence (for a year, buy now and you get the full finantial year)

$60 for a club membership (like PIARCS)

$150 for a track familirisation day.

after you pay your CAMS and membership the next time you want to go is only the day fee ($150).

Do it!

All these people driving around in fast cars on the street is a joke.

I though I had half an idea how to drive but quickly found my date pucker as though someone had a red hot poker touching me inappropriatly when the ass of my Subie stepped sideways at the end of the straight.! Turn one will change your life!

You should get 5-6 20 minute sessions which is more thn enough.

You will be put in a group to match your speed. Everything from old Corollas and Hondas to new GT2/3 are there so dont be affraid. I fit right in with my stock 92 RS liberty with 360,000 on the clock that I drive daily and cost me $3500.

At the end of the day I was lapping at 2min 9sec as opposed to (Im guessing 2.20 at the start of the day)

Instructors (race drivers that know how to drive) there that are happy to hop in as passanger or drive your car to show you the lines (no they wont flog your car).

Best $300 I ever spent in my motoring carear.

Hi Mate i just spoke to work collegue who works on the Phillip island race track and he mentioned that all the info you need is on http://www.piarc.com.au/?page=contacts

The price depends on the day of the week you choose

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
