Yeah top work dan..

Benm... Tyres didnt like the treatment, once warm they where okay, but a lap later they where to hot and just didnt grip. Was fun anyway, I would not call it drift.. More like sliding around, so I emjoyed it. Went for a session with dino (who is a top notch instructor) and worked more on my technique. After dino's lessons I was hammering around alot smoother and using the track more.

Brakes Held up 100%

Tyres I think need to be replaced

Car performed perfectly!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was there a white bug eye sti that blew engine yesterday? it came to our workshop (scuderia veloce) only to find out his warranty got rejected... aftermarket exhuast system and circuit racing... NONO for warranty... feel sorry for that poor man...

I think there was one, didn't hear about it blowing anything but then I wasn't listening.

Funny, you would have thought an STI would be designed well enough to cope happily with an exhaust swap (which shouldn't really change all that much) and a bit of track work. But I suppose they only design them just well enough for 40 year old mid-life-crisis candidates to burble lumpily around the city in and make PPSSSSHHHHHHHHH noises at 2000RPM shifts.

(note, I'm not showing brand favouritism here even though I laugh at wrx's weak gearboxes - I'm just being cynical at how cars and a lot of other things in life are designed these days.. ie cheaply. sigh).

Great day, good to see a bunch of old faces again, i'm going to have to do this more often!! (although i don't think i can justify driving each time)

DAN - thanks for taking me out a couple of times, showing the RIGHT line and the DORIFT line - loads of fun :D

I think i took out 1/2 the life of my new tyres.. the mrs won't be impressed! oh well, means i can justify track tyres :D

Oh and yeah, they did get you waving

oh - someone wanted laptimes - well i only had my last (i think it was 4th) session timed (thanks Dal) and the best i did was about 2:01 (with 2 2:02s and a 2:03 thrown in)

Hey guys,

Was my pleasure to organise as always.

Am really hanging for the incar footage from the prankster... will it be long mate?

I took my "drift" tyres off when I got home and noticed that I might have done a bit more damage than I had thought!

The result of drifting turns 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 12!

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
