I dunno, dry track is a lot of fun if you're out there with the intention of improving times as opposed to circulating.

To be honest, i think i do more skids in the dry than i did yesterday as generally you can drive through it in the dry, where as you have to have a lot better control in the wet, particularly when you are chasing the limit of grip on the dryer line.

That said, it was a great learning experience. trying to find the limit of grip was definitely a good thing, finding it in the braking zone of the fish hook, not so good :P

hahah esp when there was there was an "ocean" just after the fish hook on the left!!!

If you fooked up that, you'll be swimming out!! :thumbsup:

Whats wrong with you and wet weather? My hair goes all wavy. It sucks.

I had 3 decent offs in the first 3 sessions. After the second and third ones i had to spend half an hour cleaning mud out of my wheels so that they weren't horribly out of balance. Dished 3 spoke rims make good shovels btw.

You could have practiced skidz y0.

It did for one evo driver.

Lost it coming onto the front straight at maybe 60km/h and went into the tyres at the pit entry side on. Broken arm and broken car. There were a few evo guys who seemed to be caught out by sudden massive oversteer on that corner through out the day.

yeah i got home ok. Cheers for the help.

At least its motivating me to change the rear housing around

Glad to help and great to hear that you got home OK.

Yes it is a great time to change the rear housing and I hope that you don't show off like Mr Chubbs.....

Great pictures and driving Chris, hopefully the next time it is dry for you.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
