Ken is talking about his driveway, he want us all to go around an drift around his place.

Joking aside, it is high time that Perth had a much improved race circuit with drfit circuit and go-kart tracks. I apreciate that the WA Sporting Car Club deon't have sufficient funds to improve Barbagello to the standard required, we can barely hold onto the V8 Supercars, as we have one of the worst cicuits in the country.

The motorplex is an excellent venue, and a race circuit of this nature would be a very good idea. Motorsport is huge in WA and Australia, why doesn't the government provide some financial support for these sports?

I hope you are right Ken, and that we might have an appropriate venue soon.

Its not the standard of Barbagello fault that we are close to lusing the v8 supercars, there isnt anything wrong with barbagello. its just miles from the city and a city that is miles from anywhere else, what else could we get in perth? We have the wrc which is huge, a dedicated drift circuit? thats a bit wishful thinking, c-red and mc motorsport seem to do ok at barbagello. Drift is barely even a sport. Kinda like syncronised swimming

just wait and see who gets to redevelop the land next to the airport. someone has put in a proposal to turn it into a race track.

If you are talking about the proposed F1 circuit from that tosser Roberts then don't hold your breath.

This is the same flogstick who put the SAME proposal up at the old Military Market site in Midland AND the SAME proposal up to the council at the end of Nicholson Rd way.

The guy hasn't get 20c to scratch his arse with and he expects someone to cough up around $40 mil to build it.

What a wanker.:whackit:

As you can see I'm less than impressed with this idiot as he does nothing but alienate the general public against motorsport with his false promises.

Ken

C Red did a good job at Barbagallo but now have big problems arranging insurance thru CAMS ( ie. they don't want to know about drift ) which means that the WASCC won't lease it to Jeff for drift , er , training days.

That , and the hire fee is ridiculous which Jeff has to pass on to the entrants which then makes it too expensive.

Cheers

Not a chance phptf , I just got the paving relayed !

Seriously , there is gonna be a good venue announced shortly which will have some large open bitumen linked with some tightish , perfect for drift style corners .

It is NOT a burnout pad ( go to the plex for that ) and these people have the ability to cover there own insurance.

As I said , watch this space.

Oh , and btw , it will be within 20 mins of the cbd.

Cheers

Ken

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
