7:30am Sunday 15th August.

Mt Cotton Driver Training Centre, on Mt Cotton Rd, Mt Cotton.

$175 gets you 4 hours on the Skidpan, catered lunch (which is really nice) and 4 hours on the LVMA.

Lunch is available to spectators at $11 per head.

Skidpan = Miniature race track covered in water and diesel. Go totally sideways in a safe environment with very little wear on the car. Instructors go with you and will also drive your car if you want, they are there to teach you how to slide. You only need to have an instructor in for 1 run, then its a free for all. Result on the road - you'll be able to control/save your car in more 'situations' and be much more confident. Throttle control is a big winner. There is also a time trial on the skidpan.

LVMA = Big flat 150m x 150m bitumen area which is partly wet. Tracks are set out with cones. There is a slalom, motorkhana, and main time trial. Go ballistic against the clock and push the limits safely.

There will be trophies again for 1st 2nd and 3rd.

PM me for payment details.

Any news on the licence situation yet?

Tell them its Samantha, with the burgundy 33, went 2 nights in a row bout a month ago, the night that the Blue TX3 Laser got 1st in time trials, came off the track and got bogged and ripped my front bar off when we got it out. They loved me, hopefully they'll remember me :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
