Track day 20th May. This is a go!

[aza013]

I can look into a dyno day for you
but I think the next event will be a meetup and drive as there are a lot of members that are not interested in racing and power numbers. So I would like to get somthing going for them as well.

yea, it would be funny to see if the barina and shivic can pull off double figures on the dyno

[aza013]

They will if both cars are on the rollers at the same time
it would be interesting to see what they do get on the dyno

[aza013]

will yes there was one on the track at the time
The othere cars are VR4's, Sky lines and a evo 6
I have also had some fun with a lot of hoondas too

Aza - is this a bike-allowed track event? Do rikers get a seperate run to the drivers or are both allowed on the track at the same time?

[aza013]

No mate they run seperat days for the bikes and cars.

[Shane001]

hmm might try and bring the racecar down for this. I'll be racing at EC the last weekend of May and will need to bed some new brakes and do a bit of testing. Will come down to finances and available time (both of which are pretty tight since Bathurst).

Be good to finally meet some more of you guys though since I missed the bonfire

[aza013]

Hope you can make it down mate we can all get some tips from you

haha, or vice versa

[Gholdwayne]

might come to this one but not actually track it hard, my brakes might warp , J told me his one did...

On the other hand, the mods i have now are:
UAS intake with CAI
2.5 mandrel catback with straight through muffler
Front & Rear ralliart strut braces

before 20th May, these mods are coming in:
BC premium coilovers
Hurricane/RPW Headers
High flow cat
New O2 sensor
[Possibly] new silicon radiator hoses

These mods are pretty much the basics that you would do to your car, but will they suffice for a high revving day at the track ? i might only be pushing it till 7000 or 7500 at most anyway

[Shane001]

^^ That'd do nicely

Bit of advice for anyone going to the track for the first time, make sure you have quality brake pads and plenty of meat on them, possibly even a spare set. If you're pushing it you'll see high temps on your front brake rotors at Wakefield

[Gholdwayne]

ah damnit, i have stock rotors, maybe dicent brakes, i might take it slow in this one, its my first time

as for brake pads, ill be buying a spare set soon, just gotta find out what the good one is to buy.

[Shane001]

My race car only runs stock brakes, albeit with DBA rotors (soon to be replaced) and Project Mu pads. If you take it a little easy and only do a few fast laps at a time you should be OK.
The thing with Wakefield u have 3 big stops with not much air in between to cool the rotors. If u do say 3 fast laps then a cool down lap (staying off the brakes) u'd be fine. U should always do a cool down lap before leaving the track anyway.
