[Sheng]

[Duncan]

lol aren't skylines amazing. take a standard car, add racetrack = instant fun!

[Sheng]

Anyone going on the 5th or 6th of jan next year ?

[lingeringsoul]

i'll be back once only when all the necessary mods are done, might take a while but the next time I hit the track, no more pussy footing around and none of this keeping the revs low so I don't over heat kind of crap. I'll be back with a better handling car.......so watch out all.

[Sheng]

yeh! im shopping for sway bar n bush atm too + hydraulic handbrake yo!

[lingeringsoul]

i'll be getting swaybars, oil cooler installed, proper wheel alignment, will try to fit a 4 point harness, will also try to make some cooling ducts for the brakes. New brake fluids and a good bleed. GTR wing for more downforce.

well i did end up making it on sat to the track and if you think sun was quiet you should have come on sat there was only about ten cras through the whole day and i was one of them had a great time the car went good except a cloged fuel filter but was great to get out i might be going to one of the next ones early next year to give it another run. In the arvo i had thhe track to myself just for a drift session cause everyone else was to scared to get out when it rained. and the day was good cause they just let us go when we wanted no class separation.

people who are scared to go out on track just because its wet are majorly soft.

[Sheng]

i bet mR rb20 enjoys the wet

[scoobs]

admitefly one was mal rose and he only had slicks. but it was good there was plenty of track time im hoping to go out again on either the 2nd 5th or 6th if im allowed and if i can afford it anybody else going on any of those dates?

[evil_weevil]

I'll be down at summernats

[Sheng]

6th yeah depends on weather and cash

[Duncan]

good to hear the new car went well scoobs.

I can't make that soon but will be out there about mid jan

[frozenwaffles]

hey guys, i think im gonna go on the 28th of December...

anyone else thinking of going?

ive never been before...this should be intertesting...

does evenyone go stupid fast or can you just go at your own pace? (not something silly like 60k...faster than that...)

[Duncan]

hey mate good luck for your first day out - the main thing is to take it easy and build up speed carefully - and always pay attention, loosing concentration for even a second can be a mess.

just work up to speed once you are familiar with where the track goes, go nice and quick on the straights but treat the corners with care until you know how the car handles it. Also brake hard and early until you are sure of the speed you can make each corner.

start out easy and you'll have a ball!

[evil_weevil]

Duncans advice rocks

As well as being safe and learning you and your cars limits, you MUST have fun!! Its always important to come back in with a smile/grin on your face

James and Albert - go some whiteline sway bars from sydneykids group buy

and for the handbrake - meh, just get a drift button mine works a treat!

[Sheng]

^^

drift button yo!,

yeah ill pm sydkid in abit

Waffles- I pop my track cherry last week

just ask everyone who were there how much fun i had

especially duncan!

but nuh, you WILL enjoy youself, make sure you take it easy during your first lap, and work your way up as duncan said, is all from experience

[frozenwaffles]

oh guys you rock, thanks for all the advice. im gonna take it real easy as i have just had my baby fully resprayed. but its crazy how quick the stone chips come about..grrrr

however im not so precious that i wont drive my car like it should be driven, hence the easy start into track time....can do all the great performance mods without stretching her legs!

ha ha ha i had just resprayed my front bar a couple of weeks ago, now i'll have to redo it again. this time gotta give it a few more coats and extra few coats of clear coat just in case

[Duncan]

BTW frozenwaffles, as James will tell you - the most important thing to do before you get to the track is to bleed your brakes properly with good brake fluid like Motul RBF600. Nothing will stop the fun quicker than having no brakes left after 3 laps when you get to the end of the straight......

BTW you guys....handbrakes are for holding cars when you park them on a hill, not for track work
