Good work Ryan and co. Maps look killer! Gunna slide the Sil so much!

Here is the event schedule:

Event Schedule

Got approval for the skidpan runs in the morning - check them out!

3 spots left - get on it!

OK since everyone is excited about the new maps good time to bring this up:

NOTICE TO ALL COMPETITORS REGARDING FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Please make sure your extinguisher is held in by a metal bracket. Make sure this metal bracket is bolted down to a metal part of the car with bolts NOT self tapping screws and NOT to plastic panels.

Also make sure you have a bracket that holds the extinguisher with a metal band.

NO GOOD:

Yep, gotta be a fully metal bracket, with a metal strap around it, as the moulded plastic brackets like to snap... and if its not high tensile bolted to a metal part of the car (Between the bolts that hold the passenger seat in is a great place) then it can break free as well.

There's no way the bracket in the top picture would be able to hold a 1kg fire extinguisher if you hit something (20g+)

as what manny said, my bracket (which has been ok in the past for track days and the 6-7 DECAs ive done in the past...though it was awhile ago...) is a combination of the top picture - metal bracing but also has a metal band..

if something has changed recently with that and I need to update something, better let me know..

What is a fire extinguisher?

Which way do you go around the skid pan?

I have a hand held camera, is that ok to use while I drive?

:banana:

I have driven past the chequered flag and water barriers do I keep racing?

How fast is 80% and how can you judge/ prove the percentage in which I am driving?

Speakers held in by gravity ok?

Do I have to have all wheel bolts fitted?

If it passed at winton you have to pass me!!!!

If we getting on this topic.

if you have an amp and/or sub box in the car, it must be bolted down to metal as well. self tapping into the back of your fold down seat in a 180/300 is not going to cut it.

if you take your amp out, don't let the positive cable sit there with no fuse against the metal work, (and I cannot believe I have to tell some-one that)

yes your battery is not in the cabin with you, it still needs to be bolted down.

to save us the hassle, take the damn macca's/bottles of water out of the back seat b4 you get your car checked.

when you get you car checked, your attire is as well, have your long sleeve top and pants on, and have your helmet.

don;t turn up in your shorts and thongs saying your getting changed later.

take spare Tyre out, no-one wants it and no-one will steal it.

have all your wheel nuts on and tight...really why do I have to say that??

oh and have fun.

and don't laugh at my car..

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
