Any day at the track is good when the car and driver finish in 1 peice:D , we were at Mallala with the nephews cars and destroyed a clutch. Could have been worse though a guy had his 300z out there and put it into the wall at turn 2 , its 1 foot shorter on the passenger front now and its meant to be in his wedding in 2 weeks. They were all having a track day as part of his buck show driving Saturday and drinking that night. I rekon the guy would have got smashed so he could forget:(

So... how fast does she go? Fast or jaw-dropping fast?

If it wasn't for the rollcage and that A3, dem stickerz would almost qualify you for ricer status. :D

he had understeer on some corners as per usual, but i guess it's all relative since everyone else had the opposite wieght distribution :D

yes i do :D
i got 1 min 34 sec on the long track, then 1 min 6 seconds on the short track :) my best lap which may have done better was the one i spun on :D
next time i might start further up in the group to reduce the traffic delays, see what i can do.

no problems with the handling...yet - points very well and no doubt the engine over the rear wheels is great for traction.
semi slick yokohoma's (i think it was? or kumho? one of those), i will most likely save up for a set of wheels so i can run street tires most of the week.

clutch, what sort of events happened there at the track day? Were there any races or just circulation?

in the morning was untimed sprints which lets beginners go on the track and the others do warm up laps. In the afternoons is the time trials. everybody is split up into different groups regarding experience/lap times/performance etc

I notice you have neglected to tell us how well (aka how poor) you did. :)

Aha. I missed that.

Disregard my stupidity.

Did you play with tyre pressures, with the a48r Yokies we have found lower pressures pretty good around 24 cold and they come up to 32 hot. Go the Kumho's personally same amount of grip and also cheaper.

Was it a supersprint you competed in or like a mordern regularity ?
