^^^ what he said.


> what tracks do ppl play as they go around a track on a track day?

you're kidding, right? as matty said, you should be listening to the sound of your engine (in case something breaks), the sound of your tires ('cause they just might be breaking free and you're about to go sliding), and the sound of the other cars around you (in case they're broken free sideways and about to break something... like your car).

besides, you're wearing a helmet at the time, so your hearing is going to be partly impaired - why make it worse? :blink:

[sootie23]

i was joking.

ok no more jokes from me. :)

[RZ TT 94]

your jokes lack comedic value.

I went outto the Mitso GSR/EVO day on the weekend. Gave me the worst feeling in the world knowing that if i had my car back i would have been out there!

I am in the process of moving out of home so i may not be hitting the track for a while, and it also depends on me getting my car back, god knows when that will be.

But still keen for later in the year to do like that jb driver trainer one :)

ultra what new rims u got there buddy? work or yokohama?. they look sweet! +1 for not ricing it out like others do.

A mate of mine went out on that GSR/EVO day with his new Evo IX - that's one quick car!

Rest assured, track junkies, i will be organising a track day or three for later this year (after winter). I'll probably be coordinating another track day with the John Bowe instructors in November. I just need more time away from work!

Watch this space... :D

Your last line worries me... :lol:

[sootie23]

niceeeeee

what widths and offsets are they?

the ce28 is the lightest wheel volk make behind the te37 magnesium edition model. theyre mega dollars though!

i sussed their range out when choosing wheels.

[bAss]

Yeah Sootie can definitely do with some lightweight rims.

Its not like he cant afford it :).

Shhhh he eats Caviar as a snack at night :).

[sootie23]

my rims are already lightweight for 19's! their not the lightest 19's money can buy but their up there amongst a zillion choices! would have been even lighter in 17's or 18's but i went for looks(rice) :)

[Reaper]

Err.... I'm confused. Weren't you hanging shit on Killa for riceness just the other day/constantly?
I don't understand?

GEE

Sootie doesnt know whether he is coming or going :).

Well at this stage i would say he is hitting reverse cos he is not fast enough to go forward :).

[sootie23]

riceness = advertise billboard with modification number #46 - painted hubs!

lightweight expensive 19's dont fall under the national code of rice. :)



taken from the RCOA - Rice Code Of Australia

section C, part 22.3

aftermarket isosport(berry) windscreen wipers will be deemed rice and offer performance gain of less than or equal to 0.5rwkw, that is if the aftermarket wiper is significantly lighter than OEM. :)

Jealosy is a curse especially when your to much of a tight ass to add anything that even remotely sets your Huyndai appart from the rest of them and makes it resemble a Supra :).

[big JON]

yep, so theres a lot of talk about circuit work in here, isn't there :blink:

George, November would be a good time, through winter and *hopefully* the rain, but still not uber hot!
