I'm heading out to do one of these tomorrow arvo

should be good, can't wait.

I know this might sound gay, but one thing I can't stand it at the moment, on or off the track is loss of traction....so i figured the best way to conquer the fear is to get out there and do slide after slide after slide

BRING IT!

Liz you will love it. Getting around the witches hat is all about throttle,clutch and handbrake. When you get the inside front wheel along side the hat ,start turning ,pop the clutch in, pull the handbrake on, which will spin the back-end around, dump the clutch and point to the next hat. Sounds simple but its not,,, Great fun though.

Hmm.. what do u do on skid pan days? slide your car sideways?

Anything you like. :)

I did an Aaron McGill day a while ago. I did some power oversteer, and some grip driving. He gave me tips on doing both.

Does anyone know if he's renting the figure 8? Doing that was fun.

Yes big boy,,,but only if we do it ourselves. I'm looking at organising a motorkhana for the club early next year. You up for it?.

Neil.

You betcha (if work doesn't interfere....)

I can feel some 'line whooping coming on :lol:

...although having said that the 33 was the best car I have ever driven on the wet skidpan, was beating all kinds of Porsches at a motorkhana held at EC skidpan. B)

Glad you liked it Liz- we'll have to get you into the khanas next year!

I'll be in on the 9th too if it's not completely booked out with SAU-ers.

Adam, can you email the form- I'm having trouble with it too.

Anything you like. :D

LOL gotta watch that 8- the Zed and I came to a bit of grief there a few years back on a Dutton Rally run.

But it is definitely lots of fun and worth doing if you get the chance.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
