Mallala Grip Practice Day

[Moodles2]

Coil cover/engine ornament, do you leave itt on at track days, or take them off so the coils don't get cooked?

[DSTROY]

Mine will be staying on, I'm not to sure if there is any benefit with taking it off.

[Blue32]

I have mine off - keep the coil pack area cooler which will only help the efficiency of the coils and hopefully prevent them from overheating and then failing.

WRT temps on the day - we are due for a change, if it is 30 I think I'll still be there :-) It'll be cooler in the morning and later in the afternoon.

[DSTROY]

Forecast for Saturday is now 34 with scattered showers

[jenkies]

looks like the head light is coming out to drop the intake temps... and scattered showers?? well it must be cooling at some stage in the day

[BlitzSSS]

enter the modern regularity on the sunday instead... costs slightly more but you'll get official timed laps and the forecast is still 25

few guys from PSi will be out. entry forms due in tomorrow.

[Moodles2]

what PSI will everyone be running in their tyres at this mallala?

[DSTROY]

best to set your pressure's at the track when the tyres are hot and change the pressure to get the best traction.

[Blue32]

modern reg the fastest you are allowed to run is 1:20, sorta counts me out - i'm still gonna head out on Saturday. It is supposed to have a milder change during the afternoon (the earlier the better!)

[SkyHi_33]

Hey Chad where did you get them through? My QFM R1AM's (780degree) pads arrived yesterday but they only cost $191 posted and we should be using the same pads (unless you brembo's?)

Hey Lance, If you read the feed back from the customers using the A1RM's they pretty much all say they are low dust;

+1 for gsl rallysport, ive bought quite a few things off em for my old tx3... cheapest prices by far!

looks like i will have to miss this track day. still got these on my to do list:

pads (ordered)

rotors (waiting on $$)

oil cooler (waiting on $$)

ba falcon thermo fans to be installed (waiting on time)

brake master support (the things that stop flex) (ordered)

i did get coilovers, good alignment, tyres, fire extinguisher and helmet but not feeling too comfortable with current brakes so thats the only thing really stopping me (or not stopping me )

I should return your rattle gun tomorrow night then and take a peak at your beast

[Moodles2]

My car is all ready for Mallala now, just need to put sump plug back on and put the new oil in. I just wish I didn't procrastinate so much leaving the oil cooler install to the last minute, I guess the cooler will be on the next track day.

[Damo_R34]

doesn't matter, if you see your temps climbing, just cruise a lap or pull into the pits briefly then continue.

[DSTROY]

Good stuff should be a great day with all the RB26's hitting the track. I gotta take my car down to work now and fit the lines for my oil cooler and raise my front suspension a little, then tomorrow im getting a wheel alignment , fit the roll cage and i'm all ready
