[VR48OI]

Ah thats awesome news for me really. Went to Meek yesterday to get AYC bled and work out why my car smelt like petrol and was loosing major mileage per tank. Turned out i have a damaged petrol tank. This will give me enough time to repair the issue before the track day.

[dimi_108]

Yeah, this is good for me as well.
I'll have my new coil packs in by then and hopefully no more misfiring :)

[matchtheclown]

Yep I'll be there. Get a chance to put in my sway bars. woot.

[VR48OI]

Looks like its a blessing then, allows us to further fix/tune our cars :)

[Kitty's VR4]

Can't wait to see the Pic's of 6 VR4's arriving at terminal velocity at the end of the straight jockeying for position through the kink and into corner 2.

2x HD Video camera's (one fixed at end of straight and one panning/fixed to car)
3x Digital SLR's

should cover it......:D:D:D

And boys, pack your raincoats, long range weather for 2 June, 3 to 12degrees, 18k ne winds, 60% chance of Showers.

[VR-04-TT]

Fingers crossed the diff arrives and gets installed in time (and works!)

[matchtheclown]

Ahh crapsickles. I have an exam in wollongong at 9:30am. So I will be there late.

Well I'm sure I can rip throug hthe exam in 30mins... then the 154k's I have to drive can't take more than 1 hour at 6000rpm in 5th.

Doubt I'll make it before 12 :/ Appharently this might mean the morning trackers are done so there will be less peeps though. Yay.

[Kitty's VR4]

Lucky hugh,

use Macquarie Pass to warm up your tyres :drool::laughing::drool:

[Kitty's VR4]

Ok guys, I have just spoken with Robyn (Track Administrator) @ Wakefield, it is definitely a speed off the Street day next tuesday 2/6/09, she said she has had no enquiries from other clubs re next tuesday, so it will be just those that turn up out of the blue on the day that we'll be competing with for track time http://www.mitsubishiclubaustralia.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.mitsubishiclubaustralia.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif http://www.mitsubishiclubaustralia.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[rich]

I think I should be able to make it as well, do we have to book, or just turn up on the day?

[Kitty's VR4]

Yea Richard, just cruise down with the guys.

Wakefield know we're coming, so no need to book personally

Great to meet a long time lurker :D:D:D

[pu-11-me]

Do you need a CAMS licence to do this?

[VR-04-TT]

Nope, just license and rego for your car.

[pu-11-me]

I wish everywhere was like this! :)

[Kitty's VR4]

No Dawso,

Just a current State/Territory Motor Vehicle Licence, Wakefield Park then issue their own Licence (Valid for 12 months) and charge $50.00 for it.

So the next time you go to Wakefield you show your Wakefield Licence and off you go

They didn't check rego papers or even scrutineer our cars last time.

Also check first post, I'll apdate weather there, Its going to be Raining by the looks of it. So at this point bring wet weather clothing......

I'm thinking of doing a big pot of Soup and rolls for everyone, to defrost them during the day

[pu-11-me]

Yeah they run under their public liability then...... The drifters here do the same thing. None of them join the local club because they don't need club affiliation to drift.

That means that we have a lack of numbers, lack of money and lack of motivation for people to do anything as everyone else gets to enjoy all their hard work!

Clearly Wakefield gets enough bookings to be able to sufficiently hold its head up running with people under public liability. I envy them lol

[Kitty's VR4]

Its a very popular events venue, everyday there is car trailer after car trailer going thru town heading out to Wakefield, plus alot of race teams do testing here.

[__ET__]

Any of the Sydney people meeting up on the way like at the mobile down the freeway south of Sydney. And what time would we meet up?

Also what tyre presures is everyone going to be running as I know it was an issuse last time.

So how many people from MCS are going? I hope no one is put off by a bit of rain

Mobil Garage at Pheasants Nest.....

I'll link up with you guys in town (either at the Mobil in Goulburn for further down the main street for a coffee)

Gates at wakefield open @ 8.00

I'm going to start at 40PSI and go from there.

Disappointingly only 1 from MCA at this point - Aza with the White FTO

(see first post for this thread for updated info)

[Kitty's VR4]

Ok, all updated on first post.....................

Have you guys oragised a meeting point for the trip down???

I'll be heading out to Marulan BP in the morning to fuel up, there is a hungry-jacks there if you guys want breakfast... Otherwise we can meet up at the mobile servo (on corner of first set of traffic light you come to if you take first goulburn exit off the highway)

Any idea of what time your all planning to get to goulburn??

You can get us on 0404737619 to update ETA if your running late.

EDIT: just received this update from Aza

HI
I have been looking in every now and then http://www.mitsubishiclubaustralia.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
apart from the weather it should be a great day http://www.mitsubishiclubaustralia.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_twisted.gif

I will be going straight to the track so I will see you all there (should be there about 08:00am)

Aza

[matchtheclown]

I'm getting a medical certificate for swine flu so I can make the whole day and skip the exam I Hahn studied for... Weeeeee!

Also my mate in a golf gti is coming.

Awesome about the soup kitty you're an angel!!!

Can't wait swaybars in new discs tonight.

I'm ready to roll

[__ET__]

Aza will be there early so he can swap his exhuast before he goes on the track.

If anyone wants to meet at Mobil at Pheasants Nest which is on the HWY at about 7.15am stick around for 10 mins or so then keep heading down.

[rich]

I won't be able to make it, have to start work at 3pm. I hope everyone has a great time, looking forward to seeing some video of the day.

[qball]

A question for those with autos. How will you drive your car? will you engine brake using the tiptronic or drive in D or something else?

[Kitty's VR4]

Manual Tiptronic David, I found best last time.

Yea, thats what I figured, he's a kamakaizee in that FTO

So thats a 8.25am-8.40am ETA to Goulburn...... do you want to re-group at the Mobil in Goulburn or just meet out at Wakefield????

Thanks for the Update Richard, I'll cross you off the list

[matchtheclown]

I'm heading out at ~7 so I'll meet you guys at the track ~9:30 I reckon.

Cheers. :-)

[Kitty's VR4]

Thanks Hugh, will organise a garage for you and the GTi

[VR-04-TT]

Emanuel picked up the brake pads from me for you tonight Hugh. You should be sorted for the track, they've got heaps left on them and all 8 are there.

Tear 'em up, I won't be using them :)

[VR48OI]

Ive been called into work today for an emergency. This really isnt good timing for me.
Was really looking forward to this day. Did so much prep for it to happen.

Hope you guys and gals have a real swell time. Will definitely try to make the next one!

[__ET__]

...... do you want to re-group at the Mobil in Goulburn or just meet out at Wakefield????


As the numbers are down a bit I guess just meet at the track

[dimi_108]

Looking forward to seeing the footage of the track day.

As I mentioned to Kat, I've got a few electrical issues i'm trying to sort today, so track day is off for me but i'll be at the next one ;)

[VR-04-TT]

Hurry up and get back guys, I want to see pics and videos!! :P

[matchtheclown]

It was a blast.

Cheers for the pads paul. I only replaced the really low one I had as I have A1RM's on the way, but they got me through the day fine.

There where only me ET and Kitty's LEgnum out there and my mates GTi and Aza's FTO.

Thats it. We had the whole track to ourselves. Awesome.

There where plenty of pics and video. Can't wait to see them either.

I'm shagged!

Big thanks to ET for picking up the pads for me and to Nudge for cooking us that awesome soup.

The Kat / Nudge trackday is a sure fire winner lads. I wouldn't miss the next one.

[pu-11-me]

Time!? What time you do man?

[dimi_108]

Feck. I wish I could have gone. Grrr VR-4 why did you have to give me grief on the night before track day? :headshake:
And you all got country ladle soup as well?
ARGH :mad:

I cannot miss the next one.

Looking forward to the pics and videos :)

[matchtheclown]

Times?!

It took me all day to work out how the gps laptimer in my iphone worked but I didn't get around to using it. So I musn't have figured it out.

Anyhow I was lapping pretty similar to ET and I kept up with Az in his FTO for a couple of laps and he was pretty fast. I think ET's mate timed him.

Someone will put something in here with some substance eventually i'm sure.

[qball]

Can't wait till my 'spare' care is here so sarah and I can do the next day!!

[aza013]

Hi all
I was thinking that I should drop in and say Hi to you all as we have been working together for alot of events between clubs.
As most of you know I look after the NSW area of the MCA and also the FTO club its a big job but when we all chip in between clubs like we all have we get some great events going.

Take today the numbers dropped off alittle due to sertan events out of anyones hands but still turned out a great day and lots of fun had by all.
I also send out a big thanks to Kitty for all her help and to every one that came and made it a great day.
Thumbs up to you all :bigsmile:

[__ET__]

Another great day on the track once angin thanks Kat and Nudge!

I got a 1:15.4 and a top speed of 170km/h.

Just a reminder for anyone else going to another one start the setion with a full tank of fuel as I was having fueling issues on the tight corners with 1/2 a tank and less.

[dimi_108]

Yo, Aza's here! :)
Hey Aza. Welcome to our home.

How'd the space shuttle go today with the extra power from the interceptor? Must've flew around the track! :D

[Kitty's VR4]

Great day Guys, thanks

Well I've spent the last 6 hours going thru the 1140 photos we took today and have brought it down to 48 for posting, the videos are currently rendering and I'll have the first one up sometime tomorrow.

I'll post a tease pic here, the rest will go in the events picture/video threads
