I haven't damaged a front bar at the track yet :banana: *touches wood* Is your car lower then standard?

As a precuation I would take the white one down instead of your nice black one..

I don't think it would really matter but it's going to get dirty if so.

So everyone ignores my misspelling of bar... :P

My car is as standard as standard comes except for my rims which are 17", but with the tyres on there I think it would probably only a fly shit of difference. However, there is some merit in taking the already damaged one... I can smash it good and proper now! :banana:

A more serious question this time...

The rims that used to be on the back of my car still have rubber on them. Except they are down pretty much to the wear indicators, maybe a tiny but on the outside of the tyre. In the CAMS book it says something along the lines of "localised wear along the inside of the tyre" is acceptable, but I think these are a little past that point. Would these be allowed or will I have to find another place to burn the last of the rubber off legally :P ? Doesn't really matter if it doesn't, the tyres under my car at the moment will pass fine unless something bad happens *knocks wood*

I'm fine if you want to use them up. I have no problems with it.

Hey I got another newbie question...

I was planning on bringing down some tools and a jack and stands just in case...My jack is a steel 2.5 tonne beast though and weighs a tonne...is anyone else bringing that sort of gear down?? I am happy to be self sufficient but then again dont wnat to bring a tonne of gear down only to find I didn't need to...

Btw I have a Consult interface and laptop if anybody else with stock ECU needs it...

Also where do we put tools and all the stuff we remove from the car....

Not that many people bring decent jacks these days. If you think you are going to need them take them down. If anyone asks to borrow them. Just remember who has them. I've had mine lost before.

Tools and other items are just left in the garages. They will be fine there.

Most days there are people there with various tools, but if your likely to need something i would bring it myslef. You never know, this could be the one trackday that everybody decides not to bring anything :D

As for where you put them, I've always just left everything in the pit space where the car sits while it's not on the track. Never had a problem with things going missing, and seeing as we're all in different groups there is always people in the pit area.

And just bring a tarp or a sheet to cover ya stuff, its all good mate :D

Oh, and bring a chair :down:

I always make the mistake of not bringing a fold out chair....and have to sit on my tyres lol

another question do you take the back seats out before you go or do you take them out when your there, and if you do take the seats out, have you been pulled over by the cops and had any dramas.

Dont bother, just add boost

How much is the garage to hire, and if you don't have one where do you get your car ready when your there?

the open garages are free. There will be enough for everyone maybe 2+ :P

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • 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
