Goodmorning!

How tough is the scruteneering on tires at Mallala?

.. Also, do you have to wear gloves and do your shoes need to be leather?

I am awere you are to wear flame resistent clothing from ankle, wrist to neck... I dont want to rock up and not pass because shoes and gloves or whatnot.

Thanks!

Private track days are self-scrutineered, basically by signing the forms, you are saying your car is roadworthy. You dont need gloves, and your shoes dont need to be leather. Its pretty lax, but just make sure you dont roll your sleeves up as you are driving out, i got told when i was out there last time to roll them down, then i can go out!

Ahh ok. Thankyou!

I have signed the forms but they still said there will be scrutineering on the day before we can go out. My rear tyres arnt very good at all so I think ill have to get new ones.

Its not the SAUSA Track day as I couldnt afford that one. Its the MCSA Come and Try day (my friend from the Alpha club enrolled me), its got laps with a trainer and then laps on my own after.

Next Sunday (if my car does ok on the dyno this weekend)! Im so nervous. Haha

Definatly get new tyres, lack of traction for a track day will ruin the buzz and avoid you from pushing hard, you don't want to get everything organized and out there on the track to only experiance a f**k load of over steer to stop you taking corners as hard as you would like. It'll piss you off by the end of the day, trust me.

Normal track days, YOU are responsible for ensuring your car is track worthy.

Events like Time Attacks, they will check for leaks (fuel/oil), brake pedal feel, brake lights working, steering slackness, no loose items outside car, no loose items inside car (empty glove box etc) ... and of course, long sleeves, pants, good shoes, and of course a lid.

:(

BTW after last weekend, my Bridgestones got a hell of a workout ... might need new rubber soon myself :(

    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago

    • Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.
    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
