Sau Vic 2012 Motorsport Championship Round 4 - Pi 21St July

[R33-RB26DETT]

I've tried my hardest but i don't have a trailer or a car with a tow hook. Ive also had no luck finding someone i know that has one. The renting path is also not going to work just becuase of how early I need to leave.

So, what happens if something happens to my car and i can't drive it back up to melbourne? Is there an sau club trailer or can anyone recommend a towing company as a last case scenario?

Most of us have used jack b4:

Jack from Citywide towing.. 0419 877 437

Pretty bloody good.

I'm spewing I can't make it...damn.

Have fun all - have fun dropping your PB's.

looks like I'm the only FWD drive... oh well. not gonna stop me from kicking some Audi ass

To the guys looking at the RS3's.

I got my set for tad over $880 deliverd from tirereack.com. 255/40/17

Couldnt fond them for less than 1100 locally......maybe there is somewhere but thats the best i could do.

They do feel very soft. But they only just made it on the car so havent actually driven on them yet.

Ive had KU36 and RSR's so it will be interesting to see how they compare.

Fingers crossed for some good weather. Good being cold, windy and cloudy....but no rain!!

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Will be good to see what you think of them.

What times have you done on KUs / RSRs and what tracks?

Also what car?

Will be good to get a comparison from another user of the KU / RSR.

[Snowman]

I'm out

Will still come down for a look however.

Car came back with 260 at the treads. Not bad considering it's a tiny 21U housing.

Gah, have to wait 4 days though. 4 painful days!

[Nismo32]

Hey Femmo,

Its a 33 GTST.

Its had some changes as time has gone on so hard to directly compare.

The RSR's where about 1-2 seconds quicker around winton than the KU36's but they go off after 1 lap!

Maybe its the weight of the car but i never did a warm up....just cruised around for the out lap and then did one timed lap. Although this was during the warmer months.

Looking at my times i get slower after that first timed lap, and you can feel the under steer getting out of control.

I think my best is a 1:41.X on KU's and a 1:40 dead on RSR's.

To be honest i only ran the KU36's for one track day as i didnt like them at all. They were progressive but also went off really fast.

But they where cheap so i suppose its a compromise.

Looking forward to the RS3's. Ive also got more rubber on the front this time so again will be hard to compare directly.

Cheers,

Dave

I would have liked a little more up top, but I suppose that is the limit of the small housing. The larger OP6 housing maybe an option down the track, but WILL require larger rear tyres for sure.

Maybe WTAC 2013 with 280-290rwkw and 285 rears.

Rich, looking forward to trying to keep up in the little Datto!

[R31Nismoid]

Whats a set of ADs worth? GTR specs

I paid $1700 IIRC for 285/30/18

[DattoP510]

whats the deal with garages at PI and how many $?

anyone in group 2 need a garage buddy??

[ssxRicho]

140-160$ea

[DattoP510]

140-160$ea

Thanks John, so is that 2 or 4 cars?

[Downforce]

2 cars can usually fit in a garage at sandown and PI. 4? dreaming!

[emts]

I'm up for a garage and in group 2.

no red bus for Katie to keep warm in this time!

I think you can only fit 2 cars.

Do you have to call and book in advance like sandown?

[ssxRicho]

You can call and book.

They only fit 2 cars.

Dave I saw your car in at Tyrepower yesterday getting the O3G's fitted. Much excitement.

Changed the rear tie rods last night....fark it's the bloody HICAS ball joint that has movement, FU Nissan!

The pain the follows removing that SOB with be heavy on the beers.

[femno]

So not the RS3s anymore? Or typo? O3Gs are R Compound semi slicks..and different manufacturer..probably price too.

Imagine having them fitted by accident haha
