Hey guys,

I've booked a skidpan day for 16th May,

I know a few people who may be interested in this - myself included.

The sessions are $149 per person, and limited to 12 people.

Either 8.30am-12.30pm or 1pm-5pm. We will be going with the morning session

Included are driving instructers, who can give some tips and help you out, including riding in your car with you.

You don't even need a day off work, its on a SUNDAY!! What I do need ASAP, is a $49 deposit, or someone will take your spot

I currently have 9 people confirmed for this event, so I need another THREE (3) people who are interested in the event, and able to give me a $49 deposit

Let me know if you're interested :mad:

Rick

We'll see how this one goes, if I can't get the numbers I'll have to knock it back

Had the full dozen people organised before but some people are not as serious about it when it comes to getting serious :(

Its $149 for the morning session..... only 12 cars tho :)

Full now, thanks :)

skid pan is so boring, all you do is **** up your car, and if you cant learn to to drive your own car, then i dont think an instructor will help you, sorry guys i just think its a waste of time and money to go somewhere just to rip hellies in the wet and try to control it, you can do that on a rainy day( for you people who have balls)

I don't even know how to respond to that verbal diahorrea.

Your doing a fantastic job in cementing yourself as the biggest tool on this forum.

I reckon its the best way to learn how to control understeer and oversteer, plus it's handy to slide out spin and lose control when there is no gutter/tree/car/person/etc etrc to possibly collide with.....

I had an absolute blast the last time i went on the Skidpan.... I feel that my knowledge of the car increased 10 mill fold. Now i know/can predict, when my car is likely to spin out.... what understeer feels like and how to control it, plus IT'S LEGAL FUN.

On a second note.... I reckon "L" and "P" platers SHOULD do a course on the skid pan and Figure 8 track, to help them understand that not all car's are like the one's in the movies... and to also show them how easy it is to get in to trouble.... but that's a different thread....

Cheers

omg....i don't think you have ANY idea about what you are talking about. I don't even want to know how many people you kill in your car! or how you kill your car...cause with your attitude, thats the direction you're heading in!

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
