Stuffs that need to be prepared.... plus suggestions...

1. Pump up tyres to a minimum of 40PSI

2. Remove/secure any loose items from the cabin

3. Loose, comfy clothing (It'll be hard to drive in leather jackets)

4. Light jacket if windy/umbrella if rainy but please secure it in the boot

5. Light snacks/water/soft drink (session is 4-hour long)

6. If possible wash & wax your car the day before so any dirt/grease don't stick to your paintwork

7. Generally check your car from now, e.g. check if low on oil, coolant, etc. Therefore you got the whole next week to get your car serviced if required. The last thing we want is your car to break down on the day.

I'll organise a digi-cam to take happy snapshots of everyone skidding around, you can bring yours but not compulsory. I'll distribute the photos after the session to all participants listed.

Other than that, see you next week Sunday!

Cheers,

Rianto

  • 2 weeks later...

yeah, rain would have made us slide even more!!!

It's a bit pity the sun angle wasn't quite right for the photos, maybe they should have build an extra viewing point on the otherside of the pan so we'll have the sun behind us.

heheh, true Paul. at least ur car is black. Mine doesn't show up badly but if I really look, I can spot those grease spots. It's all over.... blaackkk!!!! eeewwwww......

Now I can see why Nick still have some on his car after he washed it like 6 times!! Maybe I should go to a hand carwash and piss those guys off trying to wash it off my car LOL

nah Rianto, when its rwd the torque gauge didn't move and when its 4wd it only moves when i oversteer, which wasn't very often.

Kevin reckoned that the tyres on the back had far more grip than the front ones, so while the fronts were understeering the rear falkens wern't keen on letting go-thus preventing the elusive oversteer :D

Probably suspension tuning would also do great thing for the drift.... Kevin's S2 looks so nice drifting, and I think Nick's 180 will even be more awesome with some drift suspension in it...

I'd surely will consider getting my stock shocks replaced...

Thanks to Rianto for organising a top group to come out to the Skid Pan. Once again Skylines Australia was an excellent group. I am sure everyone loved watching Kevin in their cars, as everyone does.

Anyway I told over 250 photos and have posted a Gallery here:

http://www.rwdturbo.com/incoming.html?loca...bo/gallery.html

As usual I have resized all the pics to 800 x 600. The originals are uncompressed 6 mega pixel photos, that print out as massive posters. If anyone wants the orginal photos email me at [email protected]. However note the I charge $5 per pic, or 3 for $10. But once you get them printed you'll believe me that its worth it.

Also for anyone who is interested Driver Dynamics have a few spots left for a Defensive Driver Training course next Sunday the 28th of September. This day will be the last chance for everyone to take advantage of our September special of $150, or in the event that we get 10 people there, we will discount it further to $125. Email me at [email protected] or check out our website www.driverdynamics.com for more details

Once again thanks for coming out to the Skid Pan today

Cheers

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • 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
