Ken is talking about his driveway, he want us all to go around an drift around his place.

Joking aside, it is high time that Perth had a much improved race circuit with drfit circuit and go-kart tracks. I apreciate that the WA Sporting Car Club deon't have sufficient funds to improve Barbagello to the standard required, we can barely hold onto the V8 Supercars, as we have one of the worst cicuits in the country.

The motorplex is an excellent venue, and a race circuit of this nature would be a very good idea. Motorsport is huge in WA and Australia, why doesn't the government provide some financial support for these sports?

I hope you are right Ken, and that we might have an appropriate venue soon.

Its not the standard of Barbagello fault that we are close to lusing the v8 supercars, there isnt anything wrong with barbagello. its just miles from the city and a city that is miles from anywhere else, what else could we get in perth? We have the wrc which is huge, a dedicated drift circuit? thats a bit wishful thinking, c-red and mc motorsport seem to do ok at barbagello. Drift is barely even a sport. Kinda like syncronised swimming

just wait and see who gets to redevelop the land next to the airport. someone has put in a proposal to turn it into a race track.

If you are talking about the proposed F1 circuit from that tosser Roberts then don't hold your breath.

This is the same flogstick who put the SAME proposal up at the old Military Market site in Midland AND the SAME proposal up to the council at the end of Nicholson Rd way.

The guy hasn't get 20c to scratch his arse with and he expects someone to cough up around $40 mil to build it.

What a wanker.:whackit:

As you can see I'm less than impressed with this idiot as he does nothing but alienate the general public against motorsport with his false promises.

Ken

C Red did a good job at Barbagallo but now have big problems arranging insurance thru CAMS ( ie. they don't want to know about drift ) which means that the WASCC won't lease it to Jeff for drift , er , training days.

That , and the hire fee is ridiculous which Jeff has to pass on to the entrants which then makes it too expensive.

Cheers

Not a chance phptf , I just got the paving relayed !

Seriously , there is gonna be a good venue announced shortly which will have some large open bitumen linked with some tightish , perfect for drift style corners .

It is NOT a burnout pad ( go to the plex for that ) and these people have the ability to cover there own insurance.

As I said , watch this space.

Oh , and btw , it will be within 20 mins of the cbd.

Cheers

Ken

    • 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.
