[scotty nm35]

I'm in for this one, I assume the associate under 3L is the class I need to enter?

[emts]

That would be the one.

It's WTAC weekend, so I'm not sure if going to race or go up and watch..

decisions decisions

[scotty nm35]

Should be nice and quiet = moar track time.

[ssxRicho]

Be in Sydney.

[Leroy Peterson]

will be at Sandown on the 20th if the gearbox is fixed, but will come down to spectate

[Roy]

Did you pop your box at PI ?

Yeh, shame its on the same weekend as WTAC, and also my excuse is the same as every other Sandown the pat 6 months...I still dont have a super dooper exhaust to pass the nose restriction

[blah_blah]

I might try my first track day.

Martin you be free to teach someone to drive lol?

I'm thinking of doing driver training then I'm guessing I can drive free by myself later with everyone else?

How much track time would one get if I did Driver training and then possible go out bymyself later?

I'll read into the stuff tonight of what I need to do to get my car ready in time and all the cams stuff

[ssxRicho]

Yes, generally speaking. First session in DT is with a instructor. Then after that you are free without one.

You get the same amount of track time as anyone else. Which at this event will be a load, as a heap of us will be in Sydney.

[ARTZ]

Yes might join in me thinks...why the feck not..

Roy get Scotty fix u up an exhaust man, his prices are very competitive and his hours are very flexible

I give him a scrapheap challenge with parts from Fujitsibo,volkswagon and HKS and he made me up a nice quiet pipe..well it passed.at PI anyway...

[scotty nm35]

Lol, scrap heap zorst was crap Artz, come down for a nice shiny one, what about alloy for the rear Roy?

See you there.

See you there.

Cheers for the offer. I have one designed up its just a matter of finding the time to get the car off the ground one weekend, check dimensions and then order the parts. Odds are it will be a disaster but I want to give it a go myself first....if its a bag full of failure then will come knocking.

My problem has been I have tried two different front pipe arrangements and they each cost power. Noise would past fine, but I dont want to hand back response and 15-20rwkws

Anything else I need to do?

Fire ext that is bolted in. I'd use the passenger front seat mounts.

Single bolt hole or tekscrew will not pass.

The fire ext only lasts 3 years from the date stamped on it.

There is a thread is the MS section about mounts.

Blue battery tri-angle. Blue contact from newsagent cut it. 15x15x15 cm

Helmet with aus standard sticker.

CAMS L2S.

Pants, shoes and a long sleve or jumper.

That is all you need.

[blah_blah]

fire extinguishers are on sale at repco for 19$

for a bracket just get a straight peice of 1 inch wide aluminium..drill a hole in each end put a little bend in one end and use your seat bolts to hold it in...I did find the stock seat bolts were a tad short though and barely gripped so might be best to get some longer bolts as well..but I put mine in and with cutting a little piece of plastic seat trim I still have full movement on my seat

[blah_blah]

Cheers brahs!

Now the process begins to get everything ready

See some of you there!

[ARTZ]

made from a piece of aluminium I found in the scrap bin at a truck place..

took 20 mins to make and its like 6mm thick too, so not going anywhere but meant I needed longer bolts...
