I have sourced an old 1.3l Toyota Starlet (it's red so it must go fast) that I'm thinking about buying as a ClubSub Dunedin trackday mobile. It's so that anyone who doesn't want to run there cars in a grasskhana or trackday can still have a go in the Starlet by handing over $5 or $10 (cost still to be confirmed). The car won't be registered or have a WOF so will need to be towed to and from events.

What I need to know before speaking to the high-ups about getting some funding support is 1) how many people are likely to use the car, 2) I may have enough room to store it but does anyone else have room as well (doesn't have to be undercover), 3) does anyone have a vehicle big enough to tow it and does anyone know someone that will hire out a car trailer from time to time?

awesome! any mechanical help/tools you need, let me know

i know its not a suby, but its a great start

keep it as 'your' car, that you can lend under your terms. 'club' cars are something i'd love to see but need a lot of discussion and paperwork, and thats not a priority for the committee right now

Thanks for the official input from the council Nick. Ok guys, if I'm going to buy this car I need to know that it's going to be used by more than me because I can't afford to run it by myself. Would anyone use it? $10 per go should cover running costs and we can customise it the way we want plus it would be great for those wanting to learn more about the mechanical workings of cars.

That sounds like an awesome idea. :)

I know i'm not a CS member, but i'd prolly be keen to have a wee go in it too. ;) Depending how much more it would cost on top of the price of using the car too though.

For you we'll make it the same price as CS members. ;)

Ok, I'll inspect the car closer and put some cash together. Next step is to see if I can organise autocross and grass events. Does anyone have any farming contacts to see if we can rent a paddock? I'll speak to the council and a few businesses and see if we can rent a carpark or large tarmac area.

Cough*Soo-Young*Cough.

If you can get something organised before exams come round, I'll happily jump in! With a bit of luck my GT-B will be gone ( :-[), but at least I'll be able to get out there.

Aren't all the newer ones (90's onwards) FWD? I'll be really happy if it is RWD.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
