Who is keen.

I am very keen after having my accident.

I would rather spin out and hit a cone then hit an enbankment again. Alot cheaper in my mind.

I also want to feel what my car can do in the right environment.

Who is keen on a safe and controlled environment to see what their cars are capable of doing?

If I get enough interest i will look into it further.

All i know of is the AAMI driver awarness course thing out at AAMI stadium.

Does anyone else know of other driver training courses in SA.

I'd be keen

I would prefer a day at Malalar with plenty of practice time (not all theory).

I believe Manta Racing can arrange this with a pro driver (can't remember who) if we can get sufficient numbers.

For those contemplating this it would be worth budgeting for new brake pads (unless changed recently) new fluids (brake, and engine/trans oils) as well as a wheel allignment prior to the track day.

very keen

from memory i have seen similar thread at least a few times in the past.

Everytime, we have a lot of people express their interest but can't make it at the end for various reasons

so please ask for a deposit before organise anything to avoid disappointment

As Maxx said.

I have seen a few other threads like this and have noticed that ppl say they are keen but don't pull through in the end.

I will continue my research in the matter and once i have finer details I will post them up.

And yes a deposit will be needed so I can lock in numbers.

As 4door_Sleeper said.

New brake pads will be a must. Coolant/ oils well i change mine too often. LOL well I did when my car was on the road. 3months baby :(.

I will talk to Clem out at Mallala when I go there for the G1 drift comp on the 17th.

I will also look into this Manta Racing company.

Oh and who is the Stig. LOL, Who claims they are the bomb of driving??????????

For some reason I am Looking at you Joel (cubes) :woot:

I think if u are with Shannons they will either give a discount of full refund of the cost of the course (they do with bike rider safe training) as they deem it to be a benefit to you not having any accidents...

Cubes aint a racer....let him take out the baby seat in the rear of the car :woot:

I 'd be interested too... maybe we should all just join the evo club track day in march and have a thrash round mallala... of course there is no instruction involved... I don't think so anyway!

OK AAMI Dkilled Drivers course is out of the question.

Under 25's only or some crap like that.

I think a track day out at Mallala will be the only way to do this.

I wish Port Gawler was still open. Or AIR.

More research needed.

Oh and who is the Stig. LOL, Who claims they are the bomb of driving??????????

For some reason I am Looking at you Joel (cubes) :woot:

haha how cool would it be to have a control car and everyone gets 3 laps to determine.... the stig of adelaide :(

oh well we can dream

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
