if we kinda had more support when we started planning it may have been a possibility but the lack of 'chatter' on social media & stuff kinda puts us in the 'unknown' category

 

there were a few posts & invites on their page/s but they didn't get very many likes, don't underestimate the power of a 'like'

someone in club whose good at videos and stuff should make a shoutout video at megameet chuck it up on social medias, tag them on Youtube/FB. wont guarantee them coming but guaranteed to get their attention. this is NZs biggest subaru car club so collectively our opinion must mean something rtight

So... in less than a month I'm going to jump in my 20 year old wagon, cross Cook Straight, drive up to Taupo, thrash my car around a track for a day and then (hopefully) drive home again.

 

Any recommendations  that you all have to offer to make my Mega Meet run smoothly? Is there a list of pre-track day inspections or service items that I should really be paying attention to?

 

This is my second track day ever... the first in over 7 years, and the first in a Subaru so there are no dumb suggestions here.

Best thing you can do is put your car through a wof before you leave home, the standard for going on track is "A car up to WOF standard" thats not to say theyre going to put your vehicle through the same testing as VTNZ, but you get the idea...

I always did the following on a car before i put it on track...

  • Checked tyre pressure, 
  • checked alignment
  • changed coolant, and replaced any old hoses.
  • changed oil and filter (dont forget sump plug seal/washer)
  • changed fuel filter
  • changed air filter
  • changed brake fluid,
  • checked pads and rotors.
  • checked all wheel nuts
  • removed anything loose or rattling
  • removed sub and spare wheel (optional unless not fastened securely)


And i always took a full tool kit and any spares i had floating around. always had a new pack of cable ties, and a few hose clamps on hand. 

it was pretty common back then to arrive with a full fuel tank and bring 1 or 2 20L containers of fuel as well... depending on how much tracktime you were expecting to have.

If it wasn't done recently, I would also :

  • change transmission oil/fluid
  • change differentials oil (both front and rear if you have an auto)
  • bonus : change the steering assist fluid as the system is known to fail/leak easily on some subarus

When I buy a used car with no or poor service history I change all the fluids even if I don't track it ... you never know how old they are.

so is the track day going to be run by Playday like a playday? Passengers allowed (in fully caged car, seat, harness blah blah??)

Considering coming down and doing some testing/take some people for a ride/chase @Fastfour  assuming the cars still running after the weekend before at Taupo

      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
