Fitted Whiteline kit.

Last week was looking at my old RB20 with a tear in my eye... worked out it had dome something like 3,000kms at Wakefield and Eastern Creek. It has 156,000kms on the clock:D

So approx 300laps at Eastern Creek, and around 800 at wakefield... i must be a slow learner:(

Im sure some time spent with someone like Duncan would be worthwhile.

Biggest thing i have noticed is not many ppl heal and toe on down changes. Being able to do so allows you to brake later, settle the car better on turn in, typically meaning you carry more mid corner speed. At the end of the day it doesnt matter how fast you go, as long as you have fun, and you dont punt someone into a wall.

But then again I didn't once get the car sideways or even loose traction

Come on have a go, you dont have to be mad and hook it in 2nd gear, just carry a bit of corner speed and give it a tweak on the exit.

Meh I don't care, not like I've never done it myself

So how long till you make it out onto the track anyway JimX ? Never even seen you at a cruise *nudge tonights northside cruise...*

(he's probably at home playing V8 Supercars on PS2 to gain knowledge of the track )

I was giving it a heap on the track, but when your brake pedal is lower than your throttle you know your in twubble

I have to say that it will be a long time before I will be able to make it to the track. Not till next year at the earliest. I have the following bills coming up:

2x rear tyres @$620

2x front tyres @$560

2x front discs @$600 (?)

Really there's only 2 tricks to quick laps in whatever you've got

1) get plenty of advice, *everyone* has a different opinion on lines. try them all and see what works best for you

2) practice! I'm certainly no schumaker, but its just practice that reduced my lap times, I've gone from 2.05 at EC to 1.55 and 1.20 at WP to 1.11 with the same car (no mods, just tyres)

I don't believe for a second that there is some mod I could do to the car to reduce lap times by 10sec! You've got to make the most of what the car has to offer first....

... its called a TD06, only since having one my car has missed 3 track days, so maybe it actually makes my car slower.
