I'm thinking of going to PI for the PIARC track day on the Sunday does that count?

ha, I push my luck to enter two events a month, let alone a weekend. If only it was my birthday, though I've already had too many of those for my liking!

Have a few mates going to PI for the PIARC day.. I just figured that Winton is closer.

Also going to winton this weekend as well, so hopefully my car doesn't break :P

i would but i dont really feel like replacing a bunch of parts when i get home as my car is stock as a rock

a stock car is more reliable than a modified one, also if your coming to spectate may as well volunteer to help us out ;)

yeah but these parts are all stock and alot of them original if i go around reving the S#%T out of it ill blow or butcher some old part or something like that, well that what ive been told by a relative who is a genius mechanic he said if i want to track it i should intall heavy duty parts that are designed to be givin a hammering + someone might crash into my car :P i just like to watch and enjoy :)

hmmm well stock parts are ment to handle what the car can do in stock form, but yeah thats my 2 cents (also im a mechanic)

anyways come along and have some fun. Bring a helmat, long sleeve shirt/jumper, long pants and you can also ride along with people ;)

as parts get older, wear out / deteriorate they may fail under heavy loads. well thats what ive been taught by someone i trust. full respect to your opinion i do keep an open mind with cars cause there are so many opinions!

ill definitly come along though thank you! would be cool to get a ride too see how my luck goes :3some:

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
