Heys all,

Just putting it out there, i've got a 4 spots open for an ARVO double skid pan session at RAC's Driving Centre at Perth International Airport.

Starts at 12.30, so you'd be required to be there by 12.15pm the latest. Finishes approx 4.30, but you may leave when you like.

Cost is $110, non refundable unless you can find someone to take your spot.

Payment would be required as soon as possible to confirm your spot.

Would like payment, no later than 14th aug please

for noobies:

* You will need long sleeve shirt or jacket, long pants and covered in shoes

and socks.

* No loose items to be in cars, tyre pressures to be 4-5psi higher than

standard

* Helmets must meet the following accreditation-

SNELL SA2000, SA2005, SFI 31.2A (US); and

AS/NZS 1698:2006 (AS/NZS 1698)

Cheers

Its got nothing associated with SAU or SAUWA.

I dont know what was ran a month ago, but this is the double skid pan. not the track at rac driving centre.

Track is layed out using cones, and you drive around them.

yah, sounds like what happened a month ago. that was basically just a thrash session didnt learn much /shrugs

the instructors pretty much leave it up to you as to how much you want to learn.

anyway i may be interested, depending on when my new tyres arrive... not going to be much good out there running on the wires.

yeh i went to one a month or so ago, was my first time and the instructor hopped in the 1st time, told me how to handle the wheel properly, and how to turn in better. then the other 10 or so runs after was on my own. not bothered or anything, you pretty much get the feel of things and just try different methods of taking off, approaching/exiting corners etc, keeping the car poised.

every cent of the $80 was worth it though.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
