Thats the spirit. I like you already!

What's not to like?

Can't wait for this.

Is there any shelter on site, or are umbrellas going to be popular?

My best attempt at skids

We bring shelter, basically the officials on the course will all have shelter (so the event doesnt stop due to rain) and then the rest of it is put up for spectators so they can still watch whats going on. Usually takes a bit of setting up in the morning, you'll see us setting up in the morning. If it rains, drivers stay in their cars between runs and passengers just get a bit wet haha

Small note to anyone coming with a GTR;

If you want to launch, thats perfectly fine and it's encouraged because a)i think it looks cool and b)Texi's are off the streets so you can enjoy this kind of car legally. The courses are designed so you can launch if you want, if you dont want to launch, thats fine too - it isnt mandatory. The start gates for "launchable" (yes thats a word now) maps all have straights in front of them. Please dont launch with any steering angle applied (eg, only launch with the front wheels pointing straight), launching with steering angle applied is a big stress to the stock sump and they do get damaged. Launching is perfectly safe, in a straight line.

Also, It's a smart idea to overfill your sump by a litre or so of oil.

If you find yourself understeering big time (car not turning as far as the wheels are pointed and you're foot is on the accelerator), back off the throttle and this will help you get around the cone.

There will be help there on the day if anyone wants it for basic tips and tricks etc

Most important thing though? Have fun, thats what we're there for!

Thanks for the tips.

Really cant wait for this event.

TEXI in the rain was fun like the last time my car ran. Check the you tube vid from texi last year (the one with the shuffle song) abd watch my blue GTST

almost beat the 34 GTR :) wet weather a big equaliser ;) I got me a good wet weather jacket for marshal duties this time lol.

looks like you blew a turbo, he he he he he.but srsly, gtr=awesome skiddage, yep, skiddage is now a word.youre welcome.

HAHA nar just a 2wd/4wd switch, people who drive 2wd have skill :/

Why my damn youtube link not work.

P.S limiter bashing is good to lol

I have one that can multiply the standard signal sent to the attessa ecu.

Even on the street in the wet, you can feel the difference.

Turn it up, and its nearly like youre driving in the dry again.

Will obviously vary the feeling dependant on the power you are running.

If youre coming to texi, jump in with me, and have a feel.

Especially if its raining.

If the brakes are fixed mid week on my GTR it's a big possibility. Won't be entering but would appreciate co-pilot for a run or 2.

GTR's booked in on the Monday to get the suspension set-up properly.

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
