Hey Guys,

Seeing as the last track day was a raging success I was thinking we should do it again.

I've added a poll to ask what track you think we should go to. I'm still in favour of Baskerville because it's closer to home and there is less things to run in to.

June 12th seems like a good day for it too. Both tracks are free from what I can see.

Cheers,

this is a disolution the same as the drift guys. Symmons actualy has better run offs and the sand traps actualy stop cars. its been a while since a car has made as big a mess of itself as the Shaw s13 recently. Not having a go but just taking the bad omen off the track.

i want to do symmons one day this year...BUT..atm my car is not up for the high speed nature of it yet.. need to fix the gremlins before risking the long trip.

ive driven both tracks now and the speed is very similar. the back straight of barsky for me was 190 ish which is very similar to symmons depending on wind.

the long trip is another aspect. you guys could hire a room at cosy cabbins. cheap as chips.

ive only recently driven Barsky in lap mode and i can say its a far more exciting track for the driver. there is more to be gained/ learnt as an amature/ enthusist.

im very keen to bring my car back and try again.

its just a pitty that the track has a rubbish surface and that its subject to changing weather conditions every 5 mins.

+1 for barsky

Well that's a load off, I'm already peeing my pants about drifting there.

just had a look at cams calendar and june 11th is drift prac day at symmons. not sure if this will afect any of you guys but thought id mention it.

i will definatly be out if it is june 12th. that said dont arange it around me.

I might consider a go at baskerville if I get car running nice for this one. Seems baskerville got plenty of run off room for me to learn to use this thing called boost lol.

Need to get new coilpacks and possibly exhaust gasket and evaluate performance first though.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
