A few of us went out to Morgan Park with the Toowoomba sports car club for half a day of racing and mucking about. Ben in his 180 got sideways....a lot and left the track on a number of occasions including once when he got heaps of grass and dirt lodged in his tyres, he also managed to totally destroy a set of brand new (Factory) brake pads he got for the day, just in the half day of driving.

Yeh Jay it is fairly casual out there, actually we did have to where long sleeves and pants but most of us had long shorts on which was ok.

Tim (WRX) is the president of the Toowoomba chapter of the club who hired the complex so he will let me know next time an event is on and I will post it up.

There was only 10 cars there for the day and it only cost $40 for as much racing as you can fit into the 5 hours (which is a lot) there are only allowed to be 4 cars on the track at once which is good. Lunch was a BBQ for $2.50 including a drink. Not a bad price but it is a good idea to buy some stock brake pads to use as it is hard on braking.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
