Ha a bit damp at Sandown, maybe I should have booked that tray tow as well

Nah they will need it at PI this weekend. nyaanyaa.gif

I have put someone in a Nissan and from SAU in the Driver Training assessment group 6.

As its a new license and no experience listed on form.

I am putting this group out first so that they can be helped.

If they are all safe and been introduced to the track , I can them move them into group 5.

So we then only have the 5 groups I planned and everyone gets maximum track time.

I would greatly appreciate one of you taking them under your wing by signing on as a Driver Trainer and giving them the benefit of your experience.

(like dont try to brake from 200kph in the wet going into turn one at the 50meter mark)

thanks.gif

Totally worth it to see Jack and Ant sliding onto the main straight.

Icy and cold in the morning....I was shivering inside the car.

Car drove home, win win.

Looks like I'll be back their again next weekend, if not wet!

Popped in quickly, last turn def looked like a bit of fun.

Will do the same - also only if weather is looking good!

Yeah too bad about the shitty weather, I was taking it easy the first couple of sessions then it started raining. The Z06 corvette coming on full noise down the straight sounded so good :worship: The M3 CSL was nice too. Was awesome seeing Luke and Anthony's long power slides coming on to the straight :D

John you're a nut behind the wheel!!! Nice times :thumbsup:

Twas a good day today, good job to the boys in the skylines! First time going to an event like that for me, makes me keen to get off my Ps and get mine set up for a punt on the track, looked hella fun, especially that last corner, the few WRXs went off, cringed. Any way i can grab pics from today that are on FB and post them here? or is it easier to just re upload them to photobucket?

Damn the weather gods! Was looking forward to Sandown for two reasons, one I have a lot of unfinished business there and secondly I was looking forward to sampling my new setup at the track. Well after the day, I still have unfinished business there but I did enjoy sampling the new setup even if unleashing the new ponies in the wet wasn't what I had in mind :)

Well done to all SAU peeps for keeping it off of the walls in some challenging conditions. Getting used to a new setup can take some time but after the first two sessions when I felt confident the rain hit...basically the only session that was dry was the practice with only light misty rain falling, 1st timed session got heavier and after that just got worse. Whilst lap times were out of the window, I did enjoy sliding the car through the last turn and turn 1 and I had a ball! That being said, feeling the car twitch under full noise in 4th and 5th gear in the two straights when hitting standing water was....errrr...interesting :blink:

Also met a fair few SAU members in the pits, so was good to meet you all.

Bring on the next round with will hopefully be dry!

    • No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!
    • Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?
    • Should shit that in as for the driver ability probably not
    • Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!   
    • have you rotated the car yet? if so how smooth was it?
