Queensland Raceway Happy Laps (v.7) 28-07-12 Breakfast

[RoryDSA]

Your MKVI wouldn't happen to be a white one with detroits and a "downshift" sticker on the front windscreen would it? If so, I think I saw you at Chermside last night, we parked at the same time near Nando's.

It is a red one yes, yeah I saw you there. Was going to come say hey after dinner but you had already left.

Off Topic:

Queenslander!!!! 7!!!!!

I have done, on previous vehicles in a much more modified state, taken a stock cat converter, removed the insides out of it, and run a 3" pipe straight through it. It looKs like it's there, but be warned, the Qld Transport inspectors carry air particle measuring devices which will tell straight away

Changed my mind again for mods >.<

I will modify my current air-intake, replace spark plugs with iridium ones and put the rest of my money towards paying off the rest of my car. Decided it would be best to save up for a better car in the long run once I get my open licence.

I'll probably get the extractors and/or the supersprint exhaust at the end of the year when I will hopefully have more money and that way I also have something to look forward to.

Off-topic I know but Dad bought a bluetooth OBD2 thingy so I can borrow it and record telemetry during happy laps. And as my OBD port is in my glove-box, it won't get in the way while I'm driving

Or if you want to read live data, i can lend you my little screen thsy i boight. It doesn't read my car.

If anyome want to borrow it on the day, let me know.

Not trying to tell you what to do with your car or anything, but what about spending that money on suspension, brake and wheel/tyre upgrades? In terms of enjoyment per dollar, this may get you more.

When you're not dealing with heaps of horsepowers, handling upgrades will probably make it faster and more fun...

Suspension I am happy with, brakes I am VERY happy with-no fading at all last time at QR. Anti-roll bars would be all I would look for as far as handling goes, but I'm pretty happy with it at the moment.

As far as wheel and tyre upgrades go well I totally agree. I'll only upgrade my tyres once my current ones wear out though. And as far as wheels go I would have loved to have gotten the orange DS3 Racing wheels (so that way I can get my roof and mirrors wrapped orange to match) however the price REALLY put me off, so I might look at getting E31 Roue DS3 R3 - Boutique Citroën Racing instead. But only once my current tyres wear out which won't be for a while thanks to them being Energy Saver tyres from Michelin.

[JimmyC379]

Nice wheels and nice color - I want some! My car is slow, but still have fun in it - however would like a cam one day. Once it is no longer a challenge will look at more power.

[redline3345]

The Full National Circuit it is! Get those brakes deglazed guys....

[T5 Damo]

Put me down in reserve please. I did happy laps yesterday with the Porsche club at Lakeside. Would love to try QR. I won't be in my T5 but my 66 beetle. Don't worry i won't hold any one up but others may hold me up. 2.3 litres of dellorto fed flat four power. Oh and my brakes are deglazed the four pot brembos that is.

Damo.

[Brendan_A]

I have to pull out of this one sorry. I've got back surgery 2 days beforehand, so no driving for me for awhile. Was so looking forward to it! Even had my front brakes upgraded.

No worries - Brendan has pulled out, so you're prob on the main list!

Thanks for the heads up! List adjusted. Hope you recover quick mate.

The anticipation... feels like ages for this to come around.

Really hoping for clean laps with minimal traffic this time. Will we have the same number of cars this time as the last at QR yeah?
