staying away from the pole is a step forward...

the pulsar definatly has more potential if you wana push it harder

Oh definitely, it will with a manual behind it which will happen sometime next year. It didn't help that the auto was on the way out from when I started DECA that morning. The last battle finished it off. I was really slow and cautious on Long Wang for obvious reasons.

Manual + a bit more skill and hopefully I'll do better next year.

People are wasting money buying semi slick for DECA, i just throw on the cheapest pair of tyres, on the rear, and do my best to hold a slide, when i spin (note i didn't say "if i spin" :down:) i do my best to make some smoke and put on a show :)

on the contrary, i dont think deca could be any less serious. the competition side of things are very relaxed. to compete doesnt mean you are going for number 1 spot, its also when you are taking on cars that are similar to yours. its when you get beaten by that similar car that you try that little bit harder and learn more about you and your car the next time.

Ripped it off with your helmet? I swear until my helmet was worn in that it was going to rip my ears off every time!

Are you pulling the helmet straps out to the side as you take it off? It helps if you don't already do this. I know when I first started wearing helmets I used to just pull it off quite painfully, but tugging on the straps clears the ears pretty well!

Each to their own, some people go to DECA to get the best times they can, which is fine, some go just to rip it up and/or put on a show...

Haha - I go to get the best times I can but try to put on a show at the same time!

But mostly I go to beat Chris. :)

I'm with you Andrew...not that I've been to many DECAs at all (read: one), but when I was there I tried for best times on the skidpan (too scared to push the wangs in my daily driver lol) and I was more impressed with seeing quick runs than skidpan antics...but a combination of both is a nice mix for a day of car action.

Yep I worked that out after the first couple of times of having burning ears hehe. The helmet was still quite a firm fit at first but now it is very snug and comfortable after only the first few times I put it on and took it off.

With the insane heat we had, having a camelbak in the car made it very easy to drink with a full face helmet on; the mouthpiece can be passed up from underneath the chin.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
