Hey guys,

I have been asked to book a Driver Training day on the skidpan at the AHG Facility in Kewdale for you Stagea Folk!!

The training is held in a controlled environment on a skidpan with instructors. We have paid for two instructors so everyone gets more time training (otherwise a lot of time is lost while the instructor changes cars). I am unsure who the instructors will be at the moment, however i have done several of these days and recommend any of thier instructors.

You will do a variety of motor kahna style challenges, which aim to teach things like handling of your vehicle and braking.

HELMETS ARE REQUIRED!!!!

When - Sunday 30th March 2008

Time - 12pm SHARP - 4.30pm. Driver briefing is at 12pm so BE ON TIME!!

Cost - $75 per driver

Where - AHG Driver Training Facility. Grogan Road Perth International Airport

Please note this is primarily a Stagea only event. Places will go to Stageas first and if there are any left after a week, non-Stagea drivers will be offered the remaining spots.

There are only 16 spots available so please PM me if you wish to participate (please give me your full full name aswell) and I will put you on the list, and send you my bank account details - as you will need to pay within 7 days to confirm your spot. (First in first served basis sorry) If you wish to pay me by cash, PM me and ill tell you where i can be found during the day.

Your name will NOT be added to the attendees list unless you PM me, this means I won't be taking names down from people just posting in the thread.

Driver/Vehicle requirements

Long Sleeve top, long pants required

Helmet

Fully enclosed foot wear

Drivers Licence

Car to be registered with no safety defects

Seatbelts

All loose items removed from inside the vehicle

Road legal tyres (no slicks)

Common sense and a sense of humour.

I will be organising plenty of soft drink, water and snack.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. As i work during the day i will normally respond to PM's regarding this in the evenings (job etc to do during the day >_< )so if you dont get an instant reply, dont panic.

Lets get started!!!!

Cheers

Dibs on the first non-stagea spot!!!!!

Also, is this a skid pan only event, or will we be able to have a crack at the track as well?

And Brad - Sif you have work to do during the day >_<

ssshonky, yeah $75 per driver. Its a Stagea yeah? PM sent.

The helmet rule was past about 12 months ago that any body in any vehicle on the skid pans or track must have have a helmet. Insurance politics! Same rule for everyone noadays ;)

should be fine. meets most of the requirements

im in with my stagea, i'd be pretty sure it should be going fine at that time, what happens if its not running for some reason? can i use my other car if u cant get anyone else with a stagea in? its a mitsubishi gto so its not a piece of shit haha. Would i get a refund if i couldnt take the stagea and u find someone else to fill the spot with a stagea?

PM sent in about 2 min from now :P

Brad, ive made the spot for you. Hopefully you will be in Stagea. If not, and there is someone with a stagea waiting, we will work out the payment side of things between us as i dont usually do refunds...but exceptions are made of course! Should be no problem. However, if Jippa has no problem with it, id say bring out the other car.....but Stagea would be better :P

Yeah Brad

can you please post up an agenda.... or a link to what this all entails.

I put up another post in the (now) defunct thread.

I may have the answer now..... a set of std tyres and rims for the skidpan, then being wet won't matter so much..... but if we are using the track then won't we want maximum traction.... I'm confused!

('sOK I'll run the old std tyres....it wont matter as the laps aren't being timed).

Thanks

PM me payment details please.....

Both Iolanda & I will be turning up..... and taking turns driving.

This event utilises a SINGLE SKID PAN only! NOT the track.

realy, i was under the impression we were. how or can we get a go on the track? this was the main reason i was interested but am still happy with skid pan

The second line of my first post in this thred states its the "skidpan" that we use.

I am unaware of any training course that uses the track. The only way i am aware you can use the track is enter into the sprint round, or make a tuning day which is 2 hours, for 16 people. Track time does get limited.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
