Is it okay if i enter in a beastly mazda 2??

Actually would go perfectly fine on the skidpan... You don't need power or rwd to have stupid amounts of fun

don;t think we ahve had a roll over, I do remember seeing a FOz's spinning drive shafts it was that angled over however.

another club had a Micra roll over.

but huge turbo and stock suspension and not the chicanes we use...bad mojo..

Mick came up last time in his Territory... It wallowed about it dominated times... came 2nd in 4wd if I recall correctly... Keep in mind it was up against evos and gtrs...

Maybe not the ML then... Probably not the S500L either, that big barge wouldn't get around the first cone....

Something a bit more nimble might come up.

Does this go through regardless of weather? Just with it being this time of year wasn't sure if it would get cancelled if it's heavy rain / storms?

Definitely not cancelled, would just mean a really slippery skid pan. Bring a poncho and umbrella, we haven't cancelled one yet!

all wet weather does is take the advantage away from those 300+kw track cars.

and those with a bit more road orientation have much much more chance.

oh and cheating evos as well.

Would not mind slightly wet skidpan, it's usually fun when there's one or two puddles but not completely soaked

I don't have a handbrake to slide and my guards aren't liking full lock at the moment :(

Wet skidpan is fine...

wet back track though.... my fear is real, even though there's no enbankments

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

The back tracks have been modified since the last videos were taken, they've now got protective barriers between you and any hazard... It's 10 times safer for you and your car than any other real race track, haven't seen any real damage to a car in all the years I've been going...

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

You'd be surprised how well you can go time wise with these, just by taking them slowly...you end up beating everyone who hits a cone in the finishing gate and those who spin out / lose it. Take it at your own pace - you get an 80% run before your timed run; good chance to scope out how fast you wanna take it.

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
