Once again, Drift practise session on the 6th of June at Queensland Raceway. Hopefully because of the Archy drifts being on the same night there will be less cars = more laps.

6pm - 9:30pm although last time they let people on track at like 5:20? $10 at the gate. $80 for track(includes skid pan), $50 for skid pan alone. $99999 for food, lol.

Well.... all Ill say about drifting tonight is: diff shim was great(thanks to O1G) And I am in DESPERATE need of more steering lock. Spacers or new rods will be in very shortly. Kept spinning like a crazy man just because full lock wasn't enough :thumbsup: Also.... f*k I hate water at the dipper.

Still.... shiteloads of fun and OMG I DIDNT BREAK ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom was having a ball!! You should have seen your face after your first trip out with the new diff mods!!!

Enjoyed myself thoroughly and will be back again!!!

Lol. I think i'm normaly like that just not when having to change wheels :thumbsup: Unfortunatly I can't see myself having spare cash around to do something about steering lock till I get my tax return. I'm sure that will make a huge differance. Noel told me you wanted to come for laps but had to leave in like 10mins, next time aye.

Unfortunatly 95% of the videos we took are blurd to the shitter or jumping around and on the best lap of the night Ben was on the phone :D wasn't happy about that one at all.

yeah dave, was there from start to finsih, didnt see you there either,

however i watched taht 06 ish blue STI on the skid pan exhuast fall off and get damaged, :thumbsup: my brother was going to go out, we took the helmets and everything, next time for sure he will be out there though,

Does anyone know when the next one is??

and i loved taht mercury r32 sedan, that was awesome to watch

anyone know what mods that 32 that has "federal" (tyre brand) written up the side of it?

was a great night to watch, wish i was able to get into a car, the ceffie i was going to ride in split a heater hose lol.

whens the next one?

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
