driver training day (drift)oran park Sunday Feb 27th


Recommended Posts

The whistle is the hidden aftermarket HKS turbo, that's why the damn thing was all over my arse most of the afternoon :)

Gotta love my 225 street rubber with 100+ laps of circuit driving, 30 drag runs and 35,000km. Yup due for a tyre change :)

Hehe... a couple more cm in the tyre width and about 100% more thread on the tyres and you'd be killing me.

Yeah while you were MIA a while back they broke into my garage and stole my stock GTT rims. They weren't on the car at the time though. Still, it sucks having to buy something you already had.

What wheels were they on your car last Thursday? They looked nice... Keep them!

Someone say cheaterer tyres ??  

 

I've got some for $2200 ono - plus they come with a set of Buddy Club P1's :) :)

 

Check the sig.

igor, buy these and reunite them with the car :D happy to give you some tips one day

:cheers: classic thread, sorry I missed the day :(

BTW SAU are running a track day on 19 March at Wakefield :D Should be a great weekend

Yeah thats the one, SAU NSW and the Rotary club are going halves in the day :cheers:

And lets not forget some beers the night before. Pete won't come because he's afraid of beer :D

Yeah, I assume Tosh will be posting up details in the next few days, numbers will be limited to 15 I think so better get in early :cheers: $140 for club members I think

awesome

 

can you let me know the details of that day, in terms of payment etc ?

Perhaps pm me. Im keen to go again, but to a track with a slightly longer straight :D

 

My top speed was only 176 km/hr on sunday :cheers:

What are you whinging about? I only hit 160. That is if the speedo is working fine. As per the semi-slicks... Well, when I'm rich and famous I ll get those. I'll think about Wakefield, doesn't look like it at the moment.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
