so i'm guesing this is gonna happen in the car park? how much track time each?

is this the same as a cams event so needed is a day's cam's license and gear would be required such as adr helmet long sleeve's and closed footwear ?

We're running it on the circuit, you dont need a cams or assa license to participate in any of our days, you also dont need a helmet, or any special mods to your car.

This is not a full on drift day, and is not suited to experienced drifters.

well if u block, by putting a chunk of wood or something there, the release lever so it'll always release the hand brake when ur foot's off it shud work.

Sorry mate , we cant have spectators.

not sure on booking but can you show up and pay on the day?

Sorry you cant show up on the day, if you'd like to come you'll need to book

CRAZY

i am in for sure without a doubt thou more info would be nice

bit worried about sandown those barriers arent exactly soft

will there be a driver in the car with us beginners as too teach?

anyone can go sideways but control and carrying a corner is a different bunch of potatoes

i will wait to see if my car will still be up for it closer to the day before i book but im there....

Does your car have to be registered? I just booked, but my car is not registered, plan on trailering it there. It's all safe and fine, but thought I better check! Maybe should've checked before booking, but I got carried away haha :)

It needs to be registered or in registerable condition

..er I'm a little confused here, does this mean you're coming or ur not coming ????

Yep, it's registerable condition, no problem. The only changes since it was last registered are just that the interior is stripped out, and it has a roll cage.

Cool :)

Kev

that means as long as my car comes out of the mechanics this week with no dramas after changing my turbo over ill be coming for sure.

i rang up today bout it all apparently they split the track up into 3 sections where its safe to "drift"

should be an awsome day there is only 10 spots left too so be quick i am penciled in for the day and i can pay for it in the near future....

:) haha must be cause i sweet talked the sexy voiced girl on the phone

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
