Glad to hear was such a good day for everyone. Now that you've had a taste, time to get out at some of our events for a proper full day of runs and fun.

How many skidpan runs/courses did you get on this day? Our Texi's we get six courses and three runs on each for about the same price (for members)!

The idea was everyone got 4 runs through the motorkhana, though some probably got more. Any chance SAU could do a motorkhana on the wet pan? I feel like dry pan/texi would be much more punishing to the car (plus I'd lose cheater car advantage).

My best time was 43 on the skid pad, couldn't seem to get any traction and kept doing donuts. I tried very hard to get a good time, promise hahaha.. even the official said I got the worse time haha

yah been to plenty of TEXI days in my 33 so the highlight definately south circuit pushing the Re001 potenzas to their limit was awesome.

Will hopefully have my 32 ready for wakefield this year ;)

hi all,

i was also in the green group. i was in the black wrx sedan.

had a ball, really surprised at the level of grip in the wrx. except also came unstuck through the left hander coming onto the front/side straight. its a bit tailly off throttle, carried too much speed in and she stepped out. havent got the awd drift thing sorted yet.

managed quite a few good times on the skid pan. first without hand brake was a 35.03, followed by a 30.55 with handbrake. 3rd run was a 29.03 and finished with a 28.63. absolutely spanked the car, had a ball.

+1 for wet skid pan event.

    • 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  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
