...The only thing worth mentioning is that its a good idea to work out where the pit entry is as a few of you guys got caught out and missed it and proceeded very s l o w l y  around the track :)  

LOL...busted. But funny thing is, i knew where the pit exit was, and was headed down there. But a silver WRX was in front of me and he went past the exit...which got me thinking "oh, he's off to that place mentioned during the driver briefing to cool brakes...possibly at end of the main straight, as in the drags exit" How wrong i was :D

A general comment though, shouldnt really gloss over flags etc in driver briefing, and should not assume that ppl have been to the track before. If it had been spelt out in the driver briefing, it would most likely not have happened, plus a few first SAU guys had no idea about flags

rs73: i think ylwgtr2 is best to answer that, but i'd say a rebuild of the gearbox is in order, or a new one :D

I think everyone was too worried to put thier hand up to have the flags explained.... as annoying as it may be to the more regular track goers, i think flags and more detail of exits etc.. should be gone over everytime... I've been to a few track days and even i forget what the flags mean :)

Was good fun, and well run, no time was wasted once we were on the track... pass on my thanks :)

There is nothing like the hospitality of a Maltese household:)

its not TRUE maltese hospitality until they make you pay for any meal or beverage that you may have consumed during the visit :) (jk AL :))

I look forwards to seeing the video.

Scott - maybe would your old man like to come to the next club meeting with his stuff from both this event and Calder??

I'm really keen to see what pics he has - especially from the night session. Even though that pic of Chris's is out of focus the night pics are so cool!

Good pics Adz!

There are some more to be found here - mostly of rexies but give a good impression of what it was like after dark.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Is the 650rpm idle on the rb25det neo for stock cars only? I've never had my car before and after tuning it to idle at 650rpm when cold. Always idle's cold around 1100rpm, and then drops to about 900-950rpm. I've heard the r33 gtst's idle there.

      Changing to titanium muffler tips

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      Hi all, I’m currently running a str pipe hi low hks exhaust and downpipe. Was wondering if I change out muffler to a titanium one will it change the sound of the exhaust? Plus I have always liked the look of the titanium pipes … anyone have recommendations to one?    side note already have titanium intake pipes.

      Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.
