Keep my car legal to the letter of the law.
Was going to get Hankook RS3s for it but I noticed they were under the placard load rating, so I went with sticky Michelins instead. I feel like I'm growing up.

Your car in the right hands would probably do a 1:25 or better, so you wont be 15 secs slower, even given your Sandown noob status, new brake setup etc.

Session 1 1:34.6118
Session 2 1:31.9024
Session 3 1:31.2838
Session 4 1:30.9961
Session 5 1:30.4080

No 1:25 but give me a lot more laps and I think I can get that. However there was only 1 car faster than 1:25 today. Looks I was 8th fastest of the day.

Anyway 1 2017 goal ticked off

8th fastest on your first day at that track is fairly handy, especially given three out of the top four were forced induction, and two of those three are >300whp, so you were actually 5th fastest n/a car on the day....

Track:
Go to one, set a time, don't crash.
Try the drag strip for giggles.

Car:
***Fit seats I've had for the past 6 months.***
Finalise tweaks to the tune.
Poly diffs into control arms (maybe stiffer springs into shocks).

Reach goal:
New wheels.

Got the seats installed on the weekend! Will do a write up in my thread soon :mrgreen:
