I was timing Morning Course 2 and I'm pretty sure you were 33.5 (Mell's car was 33 and you were driving it, hence the .5) I don't remember what the time was but it was up there.. I would have to have a look at the original time sheet (or a copy). From memory Reece was first in the Skyline, second in the Clio, Mitch was third in the Skyline then you were fourth, then Reece in the Clio in reverse was fifth (although it looks as though the times for the Clio in reverse were not included in the above results).. but that is just from memory, it may be slightly bais.

EDIT: I just had another look over the times and I would say that you have been put down as '34'. I remember that you started off slow and have a few tries before you got your good time. It would also mean you had the fourth fastest time which is what I said above :D

Ha ha ha, yeah I had a few goes where I spun the first two times, then nailed it pretty well two times after that...

I just wasn't sure, thought those times could have been someone elses... :D

Thanks MEL!

Pinky Rules!!!

Apart from a single lunch-time blast in MSD00F's MX-5 (thanks again, Anna!) just before the battle courses were set up, the only burning and thrashing I did on the day was burning the sausages on the BBQ, and subsequently thrashing all your taste-buds as you all ate them. Many thanks to BenM and my little sister Rosie for help with the BBQ on the day!

Oh well, next time I'll be out there giving the wagon another hiding, and hopefully I'll have some other Stageas along as well, and NOT just sitting in the car park.

does anyone know of any upcoming skidpan days organized by any other car club or been to one? I don't care what car club it is .. I'd just love to give it another go before the car sells ;)

Driftmob are holding a drift day at EC in a week or so

The setup we use is the only setup like it in Sydney.

The alternatives are drifting style or state champ style (competitive short tight course la that aren't as skyline friendly)

that's what makes it interesting!

That driftmob day looks kinda interesting, I've done the peanut track once before in my R31 and EC peanut would not be as exciting as Texi. I haven't made any enquiries cos I haven't seen any SAUers post that they're going :P

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
