Haha Artz, yes general idea is to aim for sand then turn at the last minute... I only stuffed one part of that theory up...

As for faster cars, exactly as Artz said, you can just get out of their way and they won't care about you. On that fatefull lap for example, Artz could have eaisly stayed in front of me through the strait and then pissed me off around the corners, but he just pulled over and let me through, no hard feelings on either side. Don't worry about going slower, as your skill and confidence grows, you may end up passing them one day!

Winton is such a good track for beginners too. Max speed last time I was there was only 160iirc.

Hrmm you guys have started to sway me to go!

Top speed tracks isnt a problem for me, I just don't confidence yet to carry speed through a corner. For some reason I get afraid the tail might come out mid way through a corner rather than being afraid of understeer.

But yeah I'll keep an eye on entrants, if it's low and not 100 entrants i might enter!

jump on board guys, winton is a great little track to learn at. if you've done one session of DT you've done enough. the only way to learn is experience and winton is by far the best track to gain some

So after Garage Cafe last night

Highly likely ill do Winton

What are the Garage Hire prices like? Anyone hiring any?

Also anyone driving up in the morning from the South East? Could drive up together. Nohomo.

Gates upon at 7am so would have to get up at like 4a.m :/

they don't have garages as such, but they have a heap of undercover sheds:

and they free

I'm going up the night b4 so remind me the day b4 and will hold a bay for you

Will do! :thumbsup:

Also see Martin wearing the MS long sleeve there in the background.

I will endeavour to get these off Ryan and bring them along.

Where does one acquire these MS long sleeve shirts?

Aim to be there 730. Generally we turn up around 745-8, but the earlier you are, the better car ports you end up with.

I will be making the trip in the morning as well.

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton, I'll be going up after work - 7pm knockoff on fridays is a PITA at least I can drive straight from Epping

anyone want to meet at the epping BP servo at 7ish for cruise up?

Hrmm sup regs say gates open at 7 and then Scrutineering at 7:15a,m

Last weekend at Sandown I head the scrutineers cracking the shits at the Wrx organisers as no on was coming on time and making things run a little late

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton

Yeah I won't be able to make it up the night before unfortunately

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
