l like your nick romen! heh! heh!

yes you are rite! i'm coming with a group of DC5. anyway care to share with us your MYVI 's suspension setup? it's a good info for other myvi's owner.

you guys sure had lotsa fun, eating a few of the turbos out there

i'm on titans, 5kg for the front, slightly chopped stock rear springs (1/2 circle) for the rear (around 3kg i guess)
absorbers are pretty stiff, but there was still lotsa body roll
time for front and rear ARBs

nah, just running a low boost supercharger
RPMs above 5k not tuned well, running way too rich
gonna complete a few more mechanical mods before doing tuning again :)

p.s.: the scoobys were together in a group? just curious :D

SG trackies u need to be a member to join. The last when i joined them, they had 80 over cars. A bit too much I think. TCC I'm not so sure but IMO both are money making clubs.

Both clubs, you need to pay a yearly membership fee. attendance at their trackdays varies ... yesterday afternoon's TCC only had 20 cars :)

From past experience, TCC & SGtrackies private trackdays are typically far more enjoyable thanks to hands-on management by their respective committees of the event.

Example:- Sepang Open trackdays don't even have a briefing for newbies who have no clue what the lights and flags mean - safety problems galore.

On Sunday, I saw cars still zooming around ignoring the red lights whilst sepang marshalls tried to sort out the mess at the braking zone into Turn 1. Then when those fellas finally reached the trouble spot again, they had to reverse down the main straight to get back to the pitlane and out of the track after getting a telling off.

Also, there seems to be no awareness that drivers exiting the pitlane onto the track should NEVER cut across the white line to the left. Fast cars coming down the main straight into the braking zone may be travelling ~ 250km/h, they ain't gonna stop in time if some idiot cuts straight out onto the racing line upon exiting the pit lane...

/end rant. lol

Of course, a Sepang open day with few cars is even better, save $$ heheh. But with the heavy booking of the track, open days this year have been quite busy, lots of first timers = lots of red light sessions.... :( i'm sure some here were present at the Federal Highway-style trackday earlier this year (February?) ......

As I think SIC can put up a big sign board at the pit area & pass out a short hand out to all driver as they sign up.

Like that day I saw 1 car no. xxx 7 zoom pass every one in corners as everyone was trying to slow down for went into the pit area. this guy still wanna full throttle after turn 15... haha... then only he saw the 5 big red lights then try to back up into pit... :stupid::stupid:

btw, can the site admin or some one post up the basic rules & flags in the top of this topic??

5..5... loh!!!

 

[romen_]

yeah, i wanna see the blazing dc5 passing everyone :p

btw subcon, wat's the car plate of your car? can just give the last two digits or something? so many white dc5, cant differentiate between them o.O

I strongly agree with mist,
There is no control over the track or drivers whatsoever, no breifing, not even a basic seat belt inspection of the cars.
I suppose it is up to ourselves to maintain some level of safety on the track. All vehicles must carry a fire extinguisher!! This is just the start.
Tyres should be at least roadworthy. The list goes on and on. Track eticate is a big problem also as mist mentioned, slower cars must give way to faster cars, what is the point of blocking a car that is clearly much faster than you? You will cause an accident! Let them past and try and keep up!!
I was touching 230kms down the straight and had to be very aware of vehicles leaving pit lane as they were not keeping within the white line. What can you do when you are at maximum braking already?
Please do your homework before coming to the track, it is a very dangerous place and no one wants to get hurt or damage their cars, these are open practice sessions only, if you want to race, block, rub and out brake, get yourself a race licence and a big wallet.
We all want to go home safe and happy and tell our freinds about the great experience and not about the tragedies that will occur if things are not changed.

I hope all of us will respect each other a little more next track day.

Rgds,
Turn1

My rear bumper half fell off in first session, I pitted after 3 laps to heat cycle my new tyres and brakes and saw it hanging off. I ripped it off, smashed it into bits and threw it in the bin.
It was a cheap heavy horrible fibre bumper that I was sick of trying to fix every week so now it's gone.
I'll get a new one this week with diffuser and heat shielding around the exhaust.

Turn1.

Turn1,
I also dont like this fiber body kit they r useless & damn heavy too. My (came w/ the car) also broken now change it back to OEM part.

Btw, there is another round in this Sunday. See ya

 

[pimpin323]

yup have have to a greed with mist n turn1. nobody was obeying the flags. and please laa dont drive like a hooligan in and out of the pit. basic knowlegde. never cut the white line when your coming out of the pits. might be a deadly move. n pls look at your rear view mirror n let faster cars pass. your not the only one on the tracks

 

[blue.taxi]
