Driver training?

Didn't know that was even a thing. Just saw the event and the car sort of semi-works so decided to bite the bullet, go slow and have fun!

As for the days, most of the negative reviews seemed to be from a few years ago, but thought people posting here may have more up to date information if there's anything terrible to look out for.

There are often Driver Training groups on the days we participate in where you can be un-timed and have someone sit in with you to show you the lines/braking points etc.

Tampered are a little bit different, you can select Novice/Beginner etc but they allow passengers to run in all cars but you have to pay $20 for the privilege - I don't know if our club has a special deal agreed with Tampered to cover off driver instruction, Andrew?

Track was a bit grippier, starting to rip apart in some areas though.

I was talking to one of the scruitineers, apparently they are going to have to resurface it again!

Otherwise it was a great day, apart from the large amount of cars there!!

Heaps of cars, sounds like a typical tampered day. I've only done a couple myself but found they still tend to run quite smoothly for the amount of cars they get. So surface coming apart, dodgy rush job then?

The sessions were ran ok, but we were waiting over an hour and a half at some points till we were on track again!

Must be, though for around 3 million you would expect better, hey?

    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
    • Are you talking about the oil squirters? There is only one place for them to go. Yes, you have to drill the holes. Yes you have to obtain the correct oil squirters (I presume there is some sort of aftermarket option available, because original turbo ones are going to be a diminishing resource).
