dbr11k Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Posted October 1, 2011 yea i was wishing i had money cause there is a wolf 3d mapped to run a silvertop on ebay atm and its cheap as chips :( and also i'm getting a hydraulic handbrake eventually :yes: Quote
dbr11k Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) was going to post this somewhere else but wasn't sure where lol.. hopefully i get some reply's.. i was just wondering what is the go with track days? is there any drift events that i can go to in nsw that don't require the car to be registered ? and also do i have to be licensed to enter the event ? or am i just dreaming here ? only reason i'm not registering this car is it's going to cost me thousands to get it on the road, engineers cert, blue slip, any repairs that might need doing, and also i won't have a licence for another year :fuzz: and here is a pic of sway for the sake of it .. the ke55 in the back ground is still for sale, just needs paint and body work done, no major rust..

Spencer[RL] Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I know any car is allowed on a race track it must just pass scrutineering at the track on the day....not to sure about licence's but I think you might be in luck as a Road licence doesnt not affect a track licence. Quote
ke70dave Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 your best bet is to ring up the place you are thinking of going to race. NSW---> http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/contact.htm there are plenty of track only cars out there that turn up to these events. Best to check though. probably also depends on what event you want to drive in. Quote
dbr11k Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 ahk thanks guys i hope i can get a track licence without having a drivers licence .. it's stupid imo, i think they should make track days/drift days a place where anyone can go (with an age limit of course) and go silly instead of them doing it on the street.

mhmills Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 Llyod Smith was/is on his L's, so I doubt license is an issue... Quote
dbr11k Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) yea but a mate told me that you need some sort of licence card weather it be l plates p plates or full licence, oh well i guess i will find out tomorrow when i give them a ring.. and lloyd is in tazzy isnt he? id say rules are probably a bit different there Edited October 6, 2011 by dbr11k Quote
dbr11k Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) new brake booster in. when i bought the car i was told that the brakes just needed bleeding, looked at the filler and it was empty, poured some in and it rub straight out the bottom, also ordered a new steering wheel, one of those deep dish suede wheels with the yellow centre mark.. been cleaning up heaps of wiring on the car cause its not the best. also priced up the suspension set up i'm going for at around $1800, which includes; FRONT T3 Adjustable Lower Control Arms (it says 'for ae86' will these fit an ae71 with 86 struts?) T3 Outer Tie Rods A J P S RCA's Tension Control Rods Adjustable Whiteline Swaybar - Already have lying around. A J P S 7kg Springs T3 Camber Tops REAR Custom MIG Differential Centre ;) - Sitting in the backyard :yes: T3 Adjustable 4 Link Kit - Already have a pair of adjustable lowers but i want to get a full set of these as they also have Heim joints. T3 Traction Brackets (thinking about just making a set for $10 at work) A J P S Adjustable panhard (Also have one of these but want them for the Spherical joints) A J P S 5kg Springs Whiteline swaybar Edited October 8, 2011 by dbr11k Quote
dbr11k Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Posted October 6, 2011 also welded on some fully hectic bonnet pins onto the other two corners of the engine bay so i can take the bonnet right off easily :P Quote
dbr11k Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) started strippin the rear half of the rolla tonight.. i figure if its going to be a track car than why have all that extra weight ? found a pretty nice suprise when i lifted the carpet, someone else has already stripped all the sound deadening off and painted the floor flat black, saves me doing it :y: sorry about the crappy photos i only had an ipod handy Edited October 7, 2011 by dbr11k Quote
