you're better off learning on the track than on the streets. give it a go.

lol!

Hey, you don't learn how to drive a manual on a drag strip. She'll race eventually. She's learning very quickly.

she said she doesnt know how to drive manual fast.

which was what i was refering to when i said it would be better off learning on the drag strip, which if you read properly you would've understood.

Ah, ok, I see how you misread it.

I only started to teach her how to drive manual 2 weeks ago when she bought her r32 gtst.

So yeah, you don't learn how to drive manual on a drag strip.

Oh, here's a quote of what she said,

I would go but I'm still learning to drive manual.

well I can drive but not fast.

Stace had never even seen a race track in real life before her first race.....reeled off a 12.4 on her first ever run. C'mon girls you dont know how good you really are till you give it a shot.....BTW practicing on the street will KILL YOU!! Unfortunately i know from experience...dont do it please. See you at WSID.

paul, when will you be coming out to wsid ? or are you waiting until sport compact ?

Yep, just waiting till the 17th Dec event at WSID. Unfortunately we find it too difficult to attend the Wed nite street meets.

Can regular Wed nite Street meet participants please tell me what the average number of runs per nite you can get??

Oh, I think it was misread there Security.

She's still learning to drive a manual. She's been driving manual for 2 weeks. She's not trying to drive fast on the road. She's learning how to shift, what gears to be in, etc. Not learning how to race.

Some people like to learn how to drive a manual, before they try and drive their newly bought manual car on a track. She was an auto only driver before like some others, but she wanted to learn, and she's doing brilliantly. I just don't want her to take the car on a drag strip yet where she'll be encouraged to go fast and might end up destroying her gearbox or damaging her engine.

2 weeks into driving a manual is way too soon! It's not like an auto where all you do is put your foot down.

I wouldn't mind a few runs.....but so hard to get away from work on a wednesday arvo

maybe in the new year...

but it has to be soon, I've thrown down too many challenges which are yet to be backed up! lol

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
