Hey guys,

I am advertising an advance driver training course that i have made available to you guys and girls coming up next month. I have made sure to give you all plenty of notice so we can organise ourselves. Anyways here are the course details:

course date: Saturday, February 28.

time: 12:30 - 8:30 p.m

cost: $285 including meals and refreshments.

the day will consist of:

introduction:

- seat and steer

- safety with in vehicles

- packing and storing within vehicles

braking (practical)

- lock up braking

- lock up and recover

- ABS (anti-lock braking system)

- threshold braking

Time is distance travelled (theory)

Steering and Vision (practical)

Road Behaviour (theory)

Accident Avoidance (practical)

Car accident discussion group (theory)

MOVE TO SKID PAN!!!

Skid Pan (practical and theory)

- under and over steer

- braking on extra slippery surface

- balancing cars

Awards and final talk

Free (controlled) time on skid pan.

basically the day is designed to improve your knowledge and skills about car control and general car response. it's a very busy and fun day. obviously skid pan is a big highlight, but the other steering exercises in the dry are very very beneficial.

i strongly suggest this to any "fresh" P platers or anyone who enjoys learning new skills about driving.

for more info please contact In Car Education on 1300 133 956.

thanks and hope to see some people out there.

90dB limit. 3" from cat or turbo? my exhaust on my 200 is from turbo and is way too loud. i just bought chicken mesh, steel wool and a hose clamp and my a little dampener to shuv in my exhaust. it worked. so there is always a way. if you have any more questions pm me or contact the numbers listed.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
