If you ran that trap speed with no cage in a jap car there is NO chance they would let you run again

nah it's just heathcote don't care, calder will tell you to slow down then boot you off at anything over like 130 or 140 i think

Hey Martin; you do a lot of traveling...

Thinking of buying a new laptop to use when onsite & on transit (planes, airport lounges etc)

Asus Taichi 31 - tablet / laptop hybrid ; easy to play with on transit

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/TAICHI_31/

Alienware 14 - most powerful 14" laptop ; more usability when onsite or at home

http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-14/pd?oc=w510772au&model_id=alienware-14

Laptop will be my only system at home, transit & on-site.

Better to get a laptop with more power to use at home/onsite or a laptop which is easier to use during transit etc?

Any other suggestions would be great! Although dont want to spend more than $2k

Thanks :)

yes they put you in groups.

they will ask for any experience when you say none they will look at the car and pick a group.

Auto Manual Stag will be in one of the slowest ones.

Just do the next SAU VIC track day Huy

At least you'll be driving with alot of familiar faces

And less chance of a random spinning out in an emo.

hmmm.... you guys think I'll be fine with stock breaks? 1 hard lap then 1 cool down lap in each run?

Think I might stick to deca this year before a tune and brake upgrade.

Don't buy a netbook. You'll just want to head->desk repeatedly.

Although that said, I'm a fan of the PC at home, and if going down route of home pc+laptop; laptops are fairly affordable these days and should be able to get a decent i5 etc. Haswell is out now too, so.

I'll probably buy an ultrabook of some sort next sem.

Always gotta weigh up performance vs cost vs portability... but $2K budget seems plenty to get best of all three aspects.

I've heard some good things about LBO horize ones which you can customize too. But name brands are around for a reason too :P

/Nothelpful

If you want to use on the move get a 13 inch ultra book

Personally I'm looking to move to a Samsung ultra book myself

If you need more power/ screen than an ultra book at home get a tablet and a home system separate

And no idea why ppl think I travel much!!!!!

They do Alienware stuff now anyway.

this. reason alone not to get Alienware.

Dell is probs best for cheap laptops because of "customer service" and no lack of spares. in the end, it's a laptop, it'll be a POS in 2 years no matter how good care you take of it (unless it sits dormant and doesn't have new things installed)

speaking of travel, 4:45 wake-up call for 7:45 flight yay. only going to Sydney though, so not as exciting. f**king swear flights to Fuji would have been cheaper *grumble*

    • I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
    • Reminds me I really need to install that HKS oil cooler I bought years ago.
    • It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.
    • Here are some side on's.
    • I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
