Glad to see the perk in interest.

Like others indicated it isn't a full on track day but great way for folks to go see what it's like for a taste. There are lots of other opportunities but expect them to be around a few hundred bucks for a track day and 50-70 for a skidpan. But then there are requirements like motorsport licenses and fire extinguishers.

If you've ever wondered about motorsport but sitting on the fence get in on this if you can!

Technically I think you need a fire extinguisher for this. From what I read in the regs. I'm yet to receive a email with the extra details they said they'd send.

Best to check with them if you dont have one.

What did you recieve?

All I got was an email saying they recieved it and everything looked fine. More info in the coming weeks.....

Will say Hi,

don't laugh too hard when you see a Volvo out there.... :P

i'll come down and take pic's :)

BTW 1:14.77 to beat!

1.06.1 to beat :D

however, for 30 bucks you guys cant go wrong for this day, more the atmosphere too, it'll be fun!

Ill be there definately with my blue GTST 33. You cant miss that either. Im sure there was only limited spots so im guessing all of the drivers will meet at some point :) cant wait to put her on a real race track and not just a skid pan or air strip. Wondering if i need helmet or not. I already have extinguisher so thought helmet might be a good idea :) Getting excited only a week to go.

Great im the only one in the red group :( Looks like ill have to represent SAU alone. The red group is starting at 730am! then yellow, blue green, the times looking at the scedule are spread over the whole day. I will probably stick around and watch some of you guys as i have nothing else on that day :) Ill make sure to come say hi. If you want to watch me set your alarms early lol.

think cause i was so early in my rego like december last year i got first group :( should have held off :( oh well ill show up all the comadores and falcons for u guys lol

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
