Fark my car was miss firing badly yesterday gave it abit of punch on 3rd gear. Got the sparks regapped with Hitman earlier in the month but now same problem came back :laugh: Was keen on joining for this but now cant be sure the car is up to the task . .

Ye factory coils with new platinum sparks gapped to .8 Probably get them down further to .6 might help? Also so might need to check if the coils are cracked. Due date is coming closer and I hardly get time off work to bring my car get fixed :P Will see if I can just pay first then take it to Hitman for another look.

I was over at 'Gordon Levin Tyres' yesterday (Emu Plains - discount for SAU members) and he mentioned that their are 2 big race meetings on this weekend (EC + Wakefield) and said that early next week he will have plenty of Semi + full slick 2nd hand tyres for sale.

(He also mentioned that he offers a free tour of his workshop after business hours for car clubs going through all the technical things like tyres, alignments, camber etc etc for free - might be a good idea sometime in the future).

That would be GREAT!

Very very very keen to learn about camber adjustments

Well done Ben!

Yay I just transferred the money. Umm my car is completely stock and I have only been driving manual for a few months so I'm probably going to embarrass myself and get the slowest time ever. No one is allowed to laugh at me or I'll cry lol.

Time for me to learn more about cars and driving on the track :P

BWA,

Most people own performance cars, and never really understand why they bought them. You are about to find out! I look forward to seeing the ear to ear grin you will be wearing.

Well I decided before I got my car I would go in all different events like track days but just didn't know when. But I figure I may as well sooner rather than later, that way I will be really fast by the time I turn 21.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
