Is it okay if i enter in a beastly mazda 2??

Actually would go perfectly fine on the skidpan... You don't need power or rwd to have stupid amounts of fun

don;t think we ahve had a roll over, I do remember seeing a FOz's spinning drive shafts it was that angled over however.

another club had a Micra roll over.

but huge turbo and stock suspension and not the chicanes we use...bad mojo..

Mick came up last time in his Territory... It wallowed about it dominated times... came 2nd in 4wd if I recall correctly... Keep in mind it was up against evos and gtrs...

Maybe not the ML then... Probably not the S500L either, that big barge wouldn't get around the first cone....

Something a bit more nimble might come up.

Does this go through regardless of weather? Just with it being this time of year wasn't sure if it would get cancelled if it's heavy rain / storms?

Definitely not cancelled, would just mean a really slippery skid pan. Bring a poncho and umbrella, we haven't cancelled one yet!

all wet weather does is take the advantage away from those 300+kw track cars.

and those with a bit more road orientation have much much more chance.

oh and cheating evos as well.

Would not mind slightly wet skidpan, it's usually fun when there's one or two puddles but not completely soaked

I don't have a handbrake to slide and my guards aren't liking full lock at the moment :(

Wet skidpan is fine...

wet back track though.... my fear is real, even though there's no enbankments

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

The back tracks have been modified since the last videos were taken, they've now got protective barriers between you and any hazard... It's 10 times safer for you and your car than any other real race track, haven't seen any real damage to a car in all the years I've been going...

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

You'd be surprised how well you can go time wise with these, just by taking them slowly...you end up beating everyone who hits a cone in the finishing gate and those who spin out / lose it. Take it at your own pace - you get an 80% run before your timed run; good chance to scope out how fast you wanna take it.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
