I might try my first track day.

Martin you be free to teach someone to drive lol?

I'm thinking of doing driver training then I'm guessing I can drive free by myself later with everyone else?

How much track time would one get if I did Driver training and then possible go out bymyself later?

I'll read into the stuff tonight of what I need to do to get my car ready in time and all the cams stuff

Yes, generally speaking. First session in DT is with a instructor. Then after that you are free without one.

You get the same amount of track time as anyone else. Which at this event will be a load, as a heap of us will be in Sydney.

Lol, scrap heap zorst was crap Artz, come down for a nice shiny one, what about alloy for the rear Roy? ;)

See you there.

Cheers for the offer. I have one designed up its just a matter of finding the time to get the car off the ground one weekend, check dimensions and then order the parts. Odds are it will be a disaster but I want to give it a go myself first....if its a bag full of failure then will come knocking.

My problem has been I have tried two different front pipe arrangements and they each cost power. Noise would past fine, but I dont want to hand back response and 15-20rwkws :(

Fire ext that is bolted in. I'd use the passenger front seat mounts.

Single bolt hole or tekscrew will not pass.

The fire ext only lasts 3 years from the date stamped on it.

There is a thread is the MS section about mounts.

Blue battery tri-angle. Blue contact from newsagent :) cut it. 15x15x15 cm

Helmet with aus standard sticker.

CAMS L2S.

Pants, shoes and a long sleve or jumper.

That is all you need.

fire extinguishers are on sale at repco for 19$

for a bracket just get a straight peice of 1 inch wide aluminium..drill a hole in each end put a little bend in one end and use your seat bolts to hold it in...I did find the stock seat bolts were a tad short though and barely gripped so might be best to get some longer bolts as well..but I put mine in and with cutting a little piece of plastic seat trim I still have full movement on my seat :thumbsup:

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.

      Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
