By the looks of the video footage I have seen, it was more of a powercruise cruise session rather than happylaps. Looked like quite a few were just trying to line people up to race them down the straights. Also saw people overtaking in corners and going 3 wide on the straights too, no way in hell will I be taking my car out on track with others being as stupid as that.

I was guilty of the power cruise line ups as I didn't realise this was a no no, but more to the point as my battery clamp shit itself was about all I could do for fun as if I cornered hard it would fall out. If this has pissed anyone off I'm truly sorry

Who would been keen for karting at Kingston in a couple of weeks time? I got a rally experience voucher from the boss for Christmas but am too tall to fit into the cars. However I am able to swap the rally voucher for karting ones at Kinston

Definitely keen for this :)

Lining people up is ok as long as you are sensible about it and don't hold up everyone else.

Geez you guys talk a lot of sh1t in here. Did you get home alright Brian.

Yeah got home alright thanks tony didn't get as bad as what it was engine is stripped down ATM lol do new coil packs this week and get covers painted:)

Ah ok, my mate begged and pleaded to come out on the track but in his hella hectic flush wanker celica that's as slow as my diahatsu it definitely would of held everyone up

The celica with the hella locked diff? Slow cars aren't a problem as long as they stick right out of the way on the straights.

Haha yep the silver celica with tons of camber. He owns that cammed up ls1 in a silvia... If he can behave himself ill invite him out for the next one :thumbsup:

When I'm at QR I drive fast. I don't pay $50 to cruise around at 60...I can do that in Toowoomba :) And when ya have 20 people driving fast there's bound to be overtaking and people a couple a breast at some stage. That's what we go to QR for....to let of some steam and have some fun.

There's nothing stupid about it.

Now harden the F up. Argh!

And for the record Chris, the most dangerous part of a happy laps session is the driving through tooowoomba part ;)

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

As far as the laps were concerned I never felt endangered at any point, I braked long before the corners so I new I wasn't going to plough into people and i Kents the sideways action to a minimum and new where everyone was around me... Great fun :)

Yeh lol I still reckon you're lucky it didn't all come undone and need a tow back in :P

Yeh same here - like I said, it was the best happy laps ever! The last one I spun out at....and at the top gear sprints I pushed her too hard too, but this time round things were freaking awesome. Couple fast laps....couple normal ones....keen for the next 1

Last hap lap I did Martin shot past me at 175 whilst I was in my wagon.

Bit of common sense prevails on these things. I may bring the 31 out to one at some point but once the 32 is complete it won't be going anywhere near a racetrack. So there are two of us that feel that way.

Already in. Just as long as I'm not interstate or Nat gives birth early...

My bro and I would probably be up for it Chris....

Gents, I've been to Kingston - those carts are pretty decent and it's all outdoors...plus, you get to upgrade to their really fast carts (twin motor) if you run good enough times.

So much awesome.

BTW Chris, you missed out on a farkin very happy, happy laps :) It made me quite happy indeed lol...if you don't come to the next one you'll be dead to me. :)

It was a three thumbs up Happy Laps.

Come down next time and you can ride shot gun. Or steer, if I'm feeling generous.

As long at his 4wd dosent kick in he'll be fine lol

I hate it when that happens.... Or when you compression lock 2nd.

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

BOOM! Self ownage!

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
