I have some PFC endurance pads I can bring along if you want, rears have a season left in them, fronts have a trackday or 2 left in them. Edit - Only a 2 more days to go, things to remember for the day are: -Driver Sign in will be from 8:30-9am in the big white Pavalon on the inside of the track, drivers briefing will follow shortly afer. -Hamptons will be open from 11am-1pm serving hot food and coffee's -Transponder timing will be availible for free if you have your own or $30 if you don't -Passengers will be allowed in cars (excludes convertibles) but will have to sign an idemnity and will have to wear helmet and overalls. -It will be up to the drivers to decide what group they go in but if you are faster than 1:25 you are destined for the fast group. -Pit Garages are availible at $75 per car from Hampton Downs. If you get yourself and 3 mates you will get your own garage otherwise you will have to share. -Weather is not looking to bad at this stage, will probably be like the first trackhack day last year (August 28th - Damp in morning, dry in the afternoon). -I am picking up the e30 today :D , I will try get some seatbelts installed for those that want a ride. -If all else fails you can call me on 0274596684

I have coilover with some already pretty skinny top hats similar to what you have posted. I was meerly posting the pic of the rear strut as thats the concept I am after. I guess if I smashed the front top hats so that had a slight bow in the them instead of being dead flat I would achieve lowering the car slightly (or higher depending which way I smashed them) but I feel the structural integrity would somewhat be compromised.

Who would be keen for a shootout style event at the end of the day? Would need some prizes to make it worth it though.

The fast group spread out rather nicely so I am sure you wont have any issues with traffic and most of the people in the fast group have serious cars as well. If you find someone in the fast group that shouldn't be there just let me know and I'll sort it out. Usually the problem is cars that should be in the fast group go out in the slow group and scare everyone shitless

My e30 can fit either e30 or e36 tophats as I have had both type on it in the past. In terms of e90 top hats I am suspecting that they will lack the camber I am after. edit - this is what I am after but for the front, also only looking for 1-2cm drop.

Maybe a stupid question but I was wondering....Can I take a bit of height out of the front top hats to lower the car 1cm or maybe 2cm?, Does anyone sell such a top hat? as I have seen something similar for rear shocks. Reason I ask is the e30 has already got the front shocks fully wound down and if I take any more out of the shock its going to lack travel.

yes, weather is not looking to bad at this stage either. edit- when you go beyond just looking at the picture of a dark cloud on metservice.

-don't drive like a douche -you have been to a few trackdays at Hampton before ect ect, there are no conditions its just I don't want it getting out of hand.

Less than a week to go, weather isn't looking too promising at this stage but a lot can change in a week. For those that are scared of a bit of wet you can text me on 0274596684 for a weather update on the day, I will be there from about 7am. I will also advise that it can be raining heavily in Auckland and Hamilton but be fine at Hampton. This has something to do with the Maori Folk Law for the area that the hills surrounding break up the clouds. Might have to take them up on that one. Transponder timing will be available for free for those who have transponders or $30 if you need to hire a transponder. You can share a transponder between a few cars if you want to keep costs down. An Ambo will be on site and I will be using a brand new BMW X3 as the tow car (such a nice car to drive) For those who have not prepayed yet I will be stopping prepaymetns around Wednesday. Don't forget your helmet and overalls.

It will probably be damp in the morning with a clear afternoon.

Wednesday?

+1 yet again, pretty much sums it up.

sorry about that, will probably have it on Saturday if you want to pick it up then.

How much did the slicks set you back? do they have any more near new or new ones?

yeah its fine to pay on the day, you can keep the slick as I will be getting a new set anyway. I'll try pick it up from Hampton either this weekend or next so you can get it fitted in time.

I have a spare if you need, you can have it for free. edit - free if you come to my trackday

Less than 3 weeks to go and so far I have got 2 prepayments so it looks like there is going to be heaps of track time. For those who haven't been to a trackday before I would suggest this as being a great starting point as its a pretty relaxed day that you can take at your own pace. Passengers are free and for those with a non caged car you can take passengers round but it will be on a conditional basis.

so jealous, I have been looking for a set like this for the last few years where did you find them?

why? Looks legit to me.

HRC will charge me $30 per transponder if you want to hire one.

congrats, hope to still see you at my trackday

It only takes 3 days to put an e30 together from scratch If anyone can bring a car that can do under 1:12 it would be much appreciated if I can follow you round at the end of the day. I know there is so much I can improve on but I need something to gauge what is quicker or slower.

If there are enough race cars for it to be worth it I will set up the transponder timing for free.

Jealous, I want adjustable everything! edit- good thing i'm also doing mods to the e30s50, I don't want you catching up too quick

did you ever find out why it kept cutting out at the trackday?
