It was a great day, good to see so much SAu representation.

There were blue shirts everywhere! :)

It was also nice to see some decent 'old school' representation, with the likes of BOWSER, ONTRYL, a red silhouette, and a really nice DR30.

Here are a few of my pics.

Was a great, made even better when i got in for free, thanks to my mate's Calder Offical pass :). His car was the XA coupe parked inside near the Calder Park office.

Was great to meet all the usual people and to see all the blue T-shirts.

Can't wait till the next Drift Practice day :).

Those are the "Thunder Cops"

They provided a bit of entertainment.

I first saw them at last years EasterNats and was blown away by their performance.

I can't imagine the skill involved in keeping a car up on 2 wheels like that.

Damn.. I barely have enough balance to walk upright!

They drove around a whole section of the track on 2 wheels, and the chick passenger gets out of the car and stands up straddling the window with her arms in the air.

I have a few more angles of the car........

I'm agreeing with everyone here, it was an awesome day and anyone that didn't go, or left early missed out on a hell of a lot.

Those Jap D1 drives need to do some classes for the aussie drivers or something because there weren't any other cars that were anywhere near as good.

All the drift pics look great people (just need more of the dancing girl that couldn't keep her top up).

As soon as a date is set for the drift nats, i'll be booked in again.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
