Ren,

Mate just interested in those 2 cars (and the RX-8 being a titanium colour is a bonus!) not those plastic surgeon bonuses! I'll be after you for a few laps...call it a friendly test drive! :twisted:

I know your 5 is a marvel for a 1.6 but the 8 is what I want! :mrgreen:

I am finally in the country for this one!...so ill be coming along for my first track day! (its only taken a year!)

Im planning on hiring a helmet down there. Any other tips you guys can give would be great...ie. should I do anything to my car beforehand??

Thanks..and see you there!

Fleery

:D


Tips for sure but unluckily for me I wont be there. A BIG birthday party the night before for a friend will rule out any chance that I'd make it to the track and be under the limit so.................Phillip Island here I come. :D

Back to the tips.
1. Do a quick bleed or fluid change to the brakes. Check you have plenty of pad depth.
2. Pump your tyres up to 37psi cold, monitor your pressures after each race and NEVER let it get above 41psi.
3. If you haven't done an oil / filter change in the last 10K do it before you race.
4. Listen to your instructor.
5. Have fun. Don't think you will set lap records 'cause you won't.
6. Have fun. What did your instructor say?
7. Have fun.
8. Have fun.
9. Learn what your MX5 limits are.
10. Learn what your limits are.
11. Have fun.

That's it. :D

Oh did I say have fun? Stupid really 'cause that's all you can do.

Enjoy! See you all at Wakefield in December!

Which hotel/motel does everyone end up at the night before??

Is there one, or does everyone scatter around the place??

Thanks

Generally scattered but the Goulburn Central is popular as is dinner at the workers club around 7.30pm! 8)
