awesome....if I can pay off my latest debt for parts im THERE !!!!

Only problem is I need some tyres....oh and ive NEVER tried properly drifting before fair enough Ive gotten sideways around a corner etc...but yeah total noob....

pete you mentioned last time at the RSL that you had some cheap tyres I can buy for the day...

I have 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 rear....anything that will stretch over that will do me fine !

i think i want to come!...

maybe i will!>...need to learn how to drift......

Question : Do the instructors drive the participants car to show what it is capable of?...thats if the participant is new to this?

yea instructors will take you out in your car to giveyou some points

and we also take you out in our car to show your the crazy way todo it

hmmm is there ANY kind of insurance for these days ??

cause my insurance company sure as hell aint gonna cough up if its damaged while drifting at a racetrack.

Just asking cause if I damage it then yeah tough luck for me....but what if one of the instructors cause some damage ?

I mean I know their professionals but hey even monkeys fall off trees......

So to put my mind at ease a little bit can you clarify what exactly they`ll do with your car to show what "its capable of" ?

Sorry for being anal about the whole thing pete...but its something I wanna know....haha ill still attend the day regardless !!!

I mean I know their professionals but hey even monkeys fall off trees......

Generally it takes a MASSIVE f**k up to do any damage at oran park driftland. In general there are not too many incidents and the incidents usually come from someone going way to hard and losing control....

Instructors will not go any where near the limits with your car. Also you are not forced to have an instructor drive your car however it can be very beneficial to see what your car can do if its your firts time.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
