Well i'm off to the EC sprint on the 18th too, so no excuses about being rusty! Will have to think of another excuse before then...

I'm taking a mate out as a passenger at this Wakefield day too, so better be on my best beahviour. :D

Yeah next round of SSCC @ E/C!!! I am heading back past from the Blue Mountains on the Sunday and thinking of coming in and seeing how everyone is going, not sure if the missus will agree though :D

Rusty!??? Mate you will be ace! No stress required, with all your little tweaks and hopefully alignment sorted = FLYING!!! Dont show the car fear, show it who's boss!!! :woot:

Hopefully you can knock a few seconds off both your E/C & Wakey times!!!

Yeah I did the last CircuitClub event at Wakefield day earlier this year (Australia Day). That was my first trackday where I could get in the car and just drive it all day long without needing to adjust anything. My best was 1:18sec so need to find quite abit of time somewhere hehe...

would have loved to come out to this.

Hello Kitty has been sitting the garage for 6 months now due to lack of funds....

Should hopefully be back out to wakefield in the next couple of months.

Missus = g/f not wife lol

Mate i am sure you have got your car dialled in and running like a dream now! Really keen to see it again in action! Did the rear wing help with the rear traction/stability at all? Got rid of that epic trail braking issue?

I know that feeling... it was over 12 months between visits to the track for me in 07/08 due to lack of funds. :(

Be sure to let us know when it's going back out, very keen to see it!

yeh your right foot lol :P

anyone one thinking of making a weekend of this, or is everyone just heading down on sunday morning?

i was thinking of heading down saturday and taking the girls to the Zoo, staying overnight somewhere and then heading to track. What time are we expected at the track? Otherwise i guess i would be leaving the gong at 5.30 sunday morning. Takes about a hour and a half correct?

Yeah about an hour and a half from the Gong I belive.

The driver's briefing is supposed to be at 9, but usually starts a little after. If you do decide to leave Sunday morning, I reckon you can leave a bit later. There's no scrutineering, which saves a fair bit of time. For CC days, I normally aim to get there at 730, and even that is plenty of time.

im not sure to be honest, but your more than welcome too. I dont really do anything to it besides put fuel in it....its quite a boring car to pit for. Im going to wheel align it and give it a service this weekend. I think it will only be tyre pressures and fuel on the day, unless i have some missfortune and we have to emergency cable tie panels back on lol.

9am driver brief......means i can leave at 6.30. gold.

Stu...Do you need any help that weekend?

stu... remind me, do you run semi's? if so! I'll need some tyre pressure advice! I've never run on them before and I'll use them if I can find some decently priced semi's before next weekend

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
