    Ok, I'll park in the one on the left hand side when heading up miles platting road towards Rochedale. Also makes it easy for you when coming from Logan Rd.

      a few of us are leaving at 6:30 at Calamvale Central. we will get on the Ipswich motorway via Durack.

              Its only a "Happy" Lap event tomorrow, we all try to keep everything on the car are happy. It really comes down to how hard you go with your ride.

                  Have to run out and check the tyres/buy petrol this arvo.
                  Fluids will get a check and it's on.

                  Also, new rego sticker = 5HP

                      • Fluids are all sweet in my car, the coolant is halfway between min and max so it should be fine. Everything else is nearly on max.

                        Finally found a way to secure my fire-extinguisher too so hopefully there won't be an annoying rattle like usual.

                        I'm going to try the awesome phone-taped-to-the-headrest trick tonight for filming. CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!

                        • Can't decide wether to change oil before or after tomorrow. Also tyre pressure round 40? (what's the reason behind this?) I usually run 32psi

                            Higher tire pressure is better for circuit events, lower is better for drag events from memory.
                            Due to the sitffer sidewall i believe.

                            I would change it after tomorrow personally.
                            Having said that i haven't needed to do anything other than tyres pressures and windscreen washes for the last 4.

                              • I usually have my tyres at 32psi for normal driving, 36psi for use on wet track events and 37-39psi for dry events. Bear in mind that my car only weighs ~1050kg.
