Really tempted to come watch at least Duy, but its 2 hours out lol, plus I take it it'll be an early start that morning.

I'll see you guys for the monthly cruise next month though, hope you guys have fun lol.

Speaking of fun, I hit left a few times last nite on the way home, just wanted to see what the fuss was about, my brother was in the passanger seat absolutely p#ssing himself laughing (his driving a turbo charged car before) he said lift is good for laughs and thats about it :( LOL!

Nah im just kidding. Stuff it. Tracking it neway.. rims and all.. gonna cry if they get scratched even more.. <_<

[tru-star]

[tru-star]

hey btw, do i need to take out my sub??lol!! and where in st. albans?? or u want me to go straight to winton?? be there b4 around 8.30am?

[Kenshin X]

[tru-star]

Oh Goodies!! :spiteful: F*** man!! i can't wait :yahoo: GOnna b my first time in a real track!!

Hey should i leave my sub home?? i think i should..

[Kenshin X]

man if u were u... i'd take out the 30 kg sub... LOL any weight reduction will save u fuel and less strain on the engine...

be sure to get extra oil just in case, make sure your car isn't leaking oil or fuel or fluids. or its gg for u :P

[johnnieboi]

please scraping rotor be easy to fix.. i really would like to track tomoro. why oh why? just putting stockies on too.. 3 good and 1 squeaky, grinding rotor... FFS!!!

[johnnieboi]

Stock wheels on. In desperate need of wheel alignment, running with wobbly wheels.. oh well

[johnnieboi]

What a day! just recently got home. Had an awesome day! We were running late due to me. sorry guys but thanks heaps.. esp you Duy and trung for noticing. Stupid cousin.

Rims had spacers btwn rotors.. put stockies on.. wobbly like anything. Stopped at servo and took all spacers off. Perfect fit. Otherwise GG on track for me.

My thoughts on tracking.. Fun day = dangerous/possible smash to your car. Worth the 30bux for having a go. But next time better go to a dedicated day with 15cars on at a time. Not like today.. with about 40cars on at once!

Esp with all different categories and classes; Fwd, Rwd, Awd, 4cyl, 6cyl, 8cyl and turboed.

Slower cars like myself get pushed aside to the outer part of the lane by bigger and faster cars making cornering very perilous.

If everyone followed the rules (which most dont) and only overtake on straights, it might have been better. Everyone was just cramming themselves into tight corners and doing high speed overtaking, corner overtaking.. had many close calls.

Tracking does give a good idea of what you need to improve on ur car.

For example me:

1. Longer ratio on 3rd gear and more acceleration on 2nd gear

2. Front strut brace

3. Front sway bar

4. Better brake pads

5. Front slotted rotors

6. Coilovers

7. High end tyres - Federal 595s?

8. Bucket seats

9. Greatly improved throttle response

10. LSD

11. Tough gearbox eg. Hollinger? lol

12. Exedy race clutch

13. Lift

Good to see you had fun! I've been to Winton 7 times now and everytime, I've beaten my previous PB. Each time I go, I've always had something done (or 3 lol). About the only pointers I could give you is to work on your racing lines. You'll find that once you find a line you like, you can work with it and then start to heal-toe so you can rev match the speed to the revs so you can prolong your gearboxes' longevity.

Also, fluid. Absolutely essential as it is the life blood of your car. Engine oil, radiator fluid, brake fluid, gearbox fluid - are either all topped or changed before race day and it'll give you peace of mind that your car is protected.

You can never, ever have enough brakes or grip on a race track. I catch all the turbo cars' on the brakes due to the little power my car makes. The harder you can brake, the less time spent braking and more time on the go-pedal.

As for your list, I'll compare mine:

1. Longer ratio on 3rd gear and more acceleration on 2nd gear check, powerband for my car pulls well from 2nd through to 4th

2. Front strut brace check x2

3. Front sway bar check F/R

4. Better brake pads check F/R

5. Front slotted rotors check F

6. Coilovers check, well KYB's

7. High end tyres - Federal 595s? check, Advan A048s

8. Bucket seats check

9. Greatly improved throttle response

10. LSD

11. Tough gearbox eg. Hollinger? Check, fully overhauled 'box w/ associated parts

12. Exedy race clutch Check, Exedy H/D

13. Lift

In short, racing is addictive and bloody expensive. But hey when you catch match it with the turbo boys with 64kw, nothing beats it lol.
