How would you rate your driving ability?

my skyline best is 1.11, stock except 9psi boost.  I think that's the club record still.

hahahaha....

so you're in the Daewoo cup? coolies...

1:11 is the current track or the previous one?

Good time though. :uh-huh:

duncan, 1.11 is very good around wakefield! i am soo hanging to get the skyline out there. anyways, i'm with merli on most points here and that is the rating system is still a little stuffed.

i dont think that going through the nasho or old pac qualifies you as a good driver, it certainly shows your an enthusiast though?

i personally think lap times are a better indication of a drivers ability, but in general, a car can be better suited to particular tracks and would thus prove to be overall more quicker.

i'd like to think that my driving abilities are good - i obey and respect the road rules and most importantly respect my fellow commuters :P

i need a car to find out.......... give me a car so i can find out, and offers? dr_GTR? gtr_jason??? any1 :D

and hey morgs...... how dare u steal my MAKE A WISH for forum purposes, i wana claim royalties...... so cum on boy, close them eyes and MAKE A WISH B1TCH! :P

thats an exceptional time with a stock sky considering typeR's can only get 1:12:xx around there. And i would go as far as saying wakie is more suited to the typeR's (DC2) stock.

Hmmm, on ManNGolf's ratings scale, I'd put myself at a 4, and one Merli's I'd rate myself as a 3...

I think there are plenty of things you can learn on the road that won't apply to a track dash, and vice-versa.

I can think of two drivers in particular, where I'd rather be next to the female who's been driving for around three years, rather than the male who's been driving for over ten (and has owned a torque-steer king MX-6 Turbo and a 180SX)... The female still has a few things to learn, but at least she keeps an eye on the road, and looks ahead and reads the traffic at least a few cars in front of her...

hahahah yeah im with pete on this duncan..U ARE A CHEATER :P we all know what tyres ure running :P .. saying that id rather have a stock car with ure tyres.. than a modded powerfull car.. :)..

i havnt done wakefield yet.. (dunno if ill ever get the chance too).. but best time at ec ended up a 1:58 on dunlop fm901's... i dont think i could pull any less than 1:55 on standard tyres though..

i would say a good driver is one who knows how his car handles in all situations.. knows the limits of his car.. and when driving in traffic is as aware of everything around as much as he can be.. if u are all of these then u are better than 99.99% of drivers out there..

hey me n my cousins always invent something new..weve actually done figure 9s..its not that hard u just need alot of space. were more holigans than drivers. like if we went to wakefield park instead of cutting corners and going in each corner the fastest way possible we would enter it sideways....and if u come out of the corner with no smoke ur the biggest f*cken disappointment ever!...and after he comes off the track:"BRO WERE DA SMOKE..I CAN'T SMELL IT..YOU F*CKEN IDIOT..CAN U SMELL DA SMOKE BRO?....F*CKEN IDIOT!"..."BUT I DID 1'17sec"..."I DONT CARE WHERE'S DA SMOKE BRO..UR A F*CKEN DISGRACE!"*smack across da head*

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
