Nirimba?

Quakers Hill near Blacktown Matt.

Not really my thing Steveo, I really enjoy the Sutton type stuff but I find Nirimba a bit meh. Sorry, just me............waits for flaming

That's why I very rarely do skids, just don't see the point and also can't afford that much rubber all the time ;)

Fair enough!

It's designed for people to try and do the best time through the course just like Sutton, the difference is at Sutton there's no skids, at Nirimba it's perfectly allowed if the driver wants to do it during their run and smoke the place up.

Matt this is Nirimba. Not as fun as Sutton but it's still great to get the bug out of your system. Most of the guys who go will bring 2 spare wheels and rubbish tyres from their local tyre shop (usually free) so they stuff the free rubber and then have their normal tyres/wheels safely tucked away and not worn out

Ah here's the video I wanted, this is a video made by Eric, sort of gives you a better idea - it's not a burnout comp, there's just a lot of smoke. This is the next club event btw people - entry thread up soon!

Here's what it looks like when you care about your time and dont just muck around

Here is me at Texi answering the big question NOBODY asked! Can you drift a 2004 Subaru Liberty 3.0R?

The answer is no :(

Rwd has to chose between launching or corner speed..

Soften damper on the rear and back off the rear swaybar, if your pro enough u can pre load ur clutch so it doesn't shock the tyres as much

LOL fatz

was that you filming her and vica versa? if so then while your quicker off the line she is far and away a better camera operator! nice little pan down to the kid at the end jenna!

I don't think swaybars do much until you load up a corner or side of the car. I think they do little to nothing to influence traction in a straight line

saw the pics and vids on facebook, looked like an awesome event.

ps: anyway possible to speak with the track owners/insurance to allow ext gate at track days :)

if not then looks like i can only be apart of it if you guys need help on the day.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
