What did you do to your Polo today?

[Buller_Scott]

Im sure it was more than I should have, but hey Im happy with how its turned out, V1 inox (stainless steel) $1600 and I fitted them

hey man that doesnt sound to bad for the name/reputation you're aligning yourself with.

i dont think anyone would say no to free kw's over anything else...

[Catfish]

Hey brumue that's great! Just stickynosing, can you tell us wheel width and offset and tyre size and brand?

[DeanB]

APR R1 DV arrived in the mail from the USA and installed it

Gotta love the exchange rate atm, especially when things are "on sale"

[Buller_Scott]

my dad hates the rate at the moment- he earns usd, and the exchange rate means that he's earning 6-8 grand a month less than when the usd is strong, lol.

What suspension are you running, your car sits really nicely

Well it's been a week away from the lil Polo whilst I was in Melb, so I took it for a good drive today

[FLiP]

i took my car down to wakefield park with some friends today... was good fun...

although i have severely worn away at the front left tyre... and i will need new brake pads... all 8...

Was running about 1:19sec consistently (my car is completely stock)... reached 165ish down the main straight and learnt to throw my car around a corner with full throttle and a wiggly tail...

my mates mini cooper s with a jcw tuning pack was running one second faster... but another mate in an XR5 Turbo chipped with new intercooler, intake and falken R888 semi slicks was pulling off mid 1:14s consistenly and hitting 185-190kmh down the straight and pulled off some intense three wheel action

not sure i'll be a regular though... it does cost $160 for the day, plus fuel, plus tyres, plus brakes, plus clutch... plus anything else that might (but thankfully didn't) go wrong...

my tip would be to throw your spare wheel on the front left for half the day and then put your normal one back on for the second half... that tyre cops an absolute belting...

another tip... don't talk it up before you go... you will be humbled on the day by some skillful drivers in underpowered cars... there were two stock 1.8l 1990 mazda astinas that i could not gain any ground on for the entire track all day until the straight were I had the legs from 140-160...

[mikepologti]

would love to put my car on the track even if only once to give it a try. but ive got no idea how to get a racing licence.

[Kiel_GTI]

Not done to the polo just yet but got an email saying my FMIC is now being manufactured. Take that summer heat

yeah do you HAVE to have a cams license just to go on a track day?

[noone]

Depends on the track

For Wakefield you need a Wakefiled licence for a private day. Depends on how public or ameteur the day is. Call the track, sure they'd be happy to help.

[leasaunce]

license valid for 12 months.

last time I went there I paid for the license but they forgot to give it to us LMAO oh well

[FLiP]

it was a scheduled "speed off the streets" day... anyone can turn up with any street car and drive it on the track... there was a bloke there in a turbo diesel astra...

to get your CAMS license:
turn up to the track... fill out a form... pay $50... and they'll give you the license... it's valid for 12 months too... they didn't even ask to see my drivers license or my rego papers... :s

I think you'll find that's just the Track [Wakefield] licence.
CAMS licences are issued by CAMS-you have to be a CAMS car club member,and the forms go through CAMS in Vic.
Having said that,you generally don't need a CAMS licence for a Drive Day,only for Supersrints and such.
