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

http://www.driftmob.com.au/forum/viewtopic...f=23&t=3060

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

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
