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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
