Noddi_76 · 11-05-2009, 04:22 PM

well i just got some new rubber for my back wheels.... got some lowered springs aswell from El Pancho from another site but won't get around to swapping the lowered springs for my standard ones before the skidpan day.
got my subs installed between my back seats with amp in the boot so can show you all that on the day.

Just letting you guys know that Sam and I will be up the coast already before the day. Sam is staying in Noosa and will probably us there, and I'll be staying in Buderim. Ryan, i'll get in touch with you closer to the weekend and I'll organise to cruise up with you if that's cool?

zappy65 · 17-05-2009, 04:06 PM

New brakes and fuel pump are in....all ready....will need new tyres afterwards though, might hit RYRY up for a price on the kumho's...

Rix · 19-05-2009, 11:00 AM

I just did that course with my School two weeks ago its worth every cent, hope you guys enjoy it!

karamello · 19-05-2009, 12:13 PM

whats recommended to bring on the day?
im assuming a full tank of petrol is needed

project.r.racing · 20-05-2009, 07:08 AM

water bottle
full tank of gas
hat
sunglasses
(last 2 we may not need if weather stays grey)

chicaboo · 20-05-2009, 07:24 AM

What tyre pressures should us ppl with stock 16" tyres use?

Gav.

karamello · 20-05-2009, 01:33 PM

just a thought...with this weather that we have been having lately, what will happen if it continues and we are unable to participate on the day?

Tarmac Ninja · 20-05-2009, 02:01 PM

Yeah ... and theoretically ... what happens if I spin out in said weather, smack my car into the gutter, bending a wishbone in the process? lol

If anyone wants my spot in this PM me ... I don't think I'll be going :S

chicaboo · 20-05-2009, 02:26 PM

Errr, have you guys seen a skidpan before? They don't mind getting a little wet...

Gav.

70NYD · 20-05-2009, 02:53 PM

doesnt it get hosed down anyway LOL this way we will be saving water. and besides i dont see how there will be gutters there isnt it just a slab of concrete so to speak??
and anyway the "prediction" for sunday is a fine day with a possible shower

karamello · 20-05-2009, 03:31 PM

i was refering to the trip up there might be a problem coz of the possible flooding.

but thanks for the sarcasm

chicaboo · 20-05-2009, 03:46 PM

Your welcome.

But given your concern, is there any way we can keep track of the condition of the Bruce HWY say? I can't think of any other roads between here and there that would likely be problematic.

RN: Don't be a soft-cock, put up the soft-top.
