chrisandliz[RL] Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Posted July 22, 2008 Ok, cool do you have extractors in the KE20 or do we need to use mine as well? Quote
white_sandshoe Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Ok, cool do you have extractors in the KE20 or do we need to use mine as well? Dude, i got nothing in mine... it's stock as a rock and as slow as one at the moment. lol Quote
chrisandliz[RL] Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 dam, my ke70 is gonna look sad as. no engine, no exhaust and no mags. :yes: We better be good at driving. lol Quote
white_sandshoe Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 dam, my ke70 is gonna look sad as. no engine, no exhaust and no mags. :yes: We better be good at driving. lol I think we should take a tally of how many cars each member has crashed, and then elect driving duties to the one with the least prangs...lol are you just stripping the 70 back for parts?

chrisandliz[RL] Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 I have yet to crash a single car. lol The ke70 is gonna get Mitch's old stuff put into it, so taking it back to stock :yes: Quote

I've crashed 5 cars, only one of which was a complete write off. All up, i've destroyed 5 rims, 2 diffs, various panels and lights, a sump, a complete 95' Corolla (nothing salvagable after i was done with it...) rear end of a VT commodore, and parked a corona stationwagon in a tree... Yeah, best if i don't drive... Well, I guess all those crashes have learnt me what NOT to do in a car... Oh!!! maybe we can do some driver training or something??? Know anyone with access to a wide open space with not much to hit? Quote
h1_roll4 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) ive crashed once. tipped my panno onto its side at 80ks hahahahaaha i now know not to stab the clutch on an oily curve in the wet... at 80 edit: pic :yes: Edited July 23, 2008 by h1_roll4 Quote
chrisandliz[RL] Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 http://www.amazon.com/formula-Racing-Dummi...e/dp/0764570153 Maybe we should get a book about driving techniques and racing lines. Gran Turismo has taught me a lot, but I'm sure there is more to learn. Also with the short diff ratio the corolla would be good for rally too. Did you want to be the Nav boy? http://www.amazon.com/Race-Rally-Car-Sourc...n/dp/085429984X Chris Quote

Did you want to be the Nav boy? http://www.amazon.com/Race-Rally-Car-Sourc...n/dp/085429984X Chris That's a good idea... I've learnt a whole stack about driving from my family, problem is, they race speedway, where it's about throwing a car sideways and hoping not to hit anything... hahahaha Seriously though, i'm not so bad when i am trying, but more often than not i am trying to do the wrong thing. It comes from being raised with holdens and hemis... Powerslide is KING! Nav boying i can do. Until i can demonstrate some skill. It's good to rotate i think, like you said before, share it around and keep everyone happy. For me though i'm not too fussed if i drive, because i'll always be worried about crashing and getting everyone annoyed with me. Quote
The D Man Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I know of an unused airstrip it is gravel but really long and wide its where i learnt to drive and ive been there 3 times and there was no one else there it is on mooliabeenee Rd (between gingin and bindoon) which is about an hour and a half drive away. I might be going up there next month again if there arn't any motorkhanas on. Quote
chrisandliz[RL] Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 I drive like a psycho, the things I have learned are "engine revs are your Friends" and "never touch the clutch in a corner" It has worked so far Chris Quote
The D Man Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) My dad and all my uncles have been rally drivers and navs my dad has been the aus F2 rally champion and rallyed for diahatsu in the aus rally championship he also would beat the 4 wheel drives in a front wheel drive charade! My uncle is currentaly competing in the west aus rally championship. Edited July 23, 2008 by The D Man Quote

Corner + Clutch = Oh yeah... Rally sounds fun though... Given my past experience with trees... What levels are there that we can compete at? what level would we be aiming for? Quote
