Just a thought.. But should it be going..

5 - 4 - 2 - 1 - 3

OR

4 - 5 - 2 - 1 - 3

Only reasoning is that the n00b groups might get a better chance to watch the faster group? That way, not only can they get a more experenced driver in with them, but they can also watch the racing lines..?

Just a thought? Might be a crap one.. but it is a driver trainer day right..?

Im not sure about others, but I think the best way is to get to the track early, setup your shed and car, THEN go to scrutineering.

Thats what ill be doing.. Setting up the garage, getting the car off the trailer, then taking it over to scrutineering..

You must unload every single loose item and have the car track ready when you present at scruit. That includes if you want to run semi slicks or slicks, they should be bolted on.

As to the person asking about turning upto scruit at 7:30. Feel free to start the line. The Scruitineers will be there at 8am.

I advise being prepared for scruitineering at 8am. Ie don't arrive at the track at 8am, arrive at scruit at 8am once you've unpacked...

Hello,

Finally registered my own account (was previously using my friends account, akajonz).

I'm really looking forward to this! and have been edging to go for weeks now.

I'll be driving a honda, so please be gentle on the straights. 120kw ftl :)

play around with turismo on the track, you should be similar if not his a little faster on the straights

I've only got 100fwkw, so we should have some fun in group 1 :whistling: DC5 should be faster than me on the straights, so you wont be the only "slow" car in the top group

Dah, I wanted to go head to head with Reece. If my times come down I'll see if I can move to group 1 on the day.

Will see what we can do, but I won't be in the 32 so you will have triple my power

this one time, at band camp, he beat us all with a starlet.

If you don't have me in grumble bee, I will be very dissapointed in you :whistling:

Dude i'm happy to swap with you if you've got a bit of a rivalry going?

Nothing real :-) but if I get to the point that I'm lapping everyone I'd love a go in the faster group. We will see on the day and as the organisors say they will move people if they see a need to redo the groups.

I'll be instructing anyway for the first couple sessions.

Now thats just getting too logical Alex :D I think that would just lead to confusion champ, the simpler things are, the easier it is for all parties, the smoother it will run.

Thanks for helping out with instructing!

I may have missed something, but you're in group 2, and in accordance with your time so not sure why you feel 'out of place'. I can certainly review on the day if you truley are 'lapping' the rest of your group.

Cheers!

      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
