I got my entry in. I haven't been to PI before, I paid the full $210 but is it worth doing the Driver Training instead or will I be allowed to get someone experienced to sit next to me and show me around in my first session and then do the rest of the day solo?

Do DT, you get a discount, you still get timing.

usually you get a smaller group

and one of us can be in the passenger seat for any of your runs!

I'm in too :)

Gunna be a big contingency of WTA cars there. Big Red, Chasers Evo and maybe more.

Also MSCA have a day on sunday I might have a crack at as well.

Sandeep prob not a bad idea to do driver training. I think you can go on your own later in the day.

Ahhh damn I wish I would have the car 100% sorted by then. I want to do a Sandown first so it's closer to Melb in case I break it... cbf towing it myself until I have my own trailer

In as well. Busting my PI cherry! Pretty excited!

Whats the status of your thing Snowy? What are the boys up to?

Fixing/upgrading the gearbox. E85 has taken the car past the stock internals limits.

You can see the clutches were giving up even at 3/4 throttle - until it finally broke something at the end there.

I emailed Dirk from WRX club and he recommended I do 1 or 2 sessions with the DT group with an instructor (Richo or Martin?) and then can do the rest of the day solo since DT sessions aren't timed.

This will be my first track day, but I would also like to have a timed lap.

Does that mean that I have to pay two fees?

Driver Training $190

Standard Entry Fee $210.

Total: $400?

Can you do both or just one?

I'm happy to just do the driver training, but I would like to also get a timed lap - so what should I do?

    • Hi mate, I have never had an issue with the odometer in mine (450,000+ klm now) and can't remember another post about it. Still, your description of the likely cause sounds spot on, so an electrics repair is probably the next stop.
    • Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?
    • I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.
    • Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.  
    • Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!
