Reply With QuoteI love Motorkhana's! I've been doing them in a car club since I was 13 and they were such a thrill!
But the tyres were costing way too much and they wore out after a day.
It's really for the rich folk!
Im a grip man, went to the track about 5-6 times last year. luv my track days and motorkhanas.
Going to the track tomorrow, gone back from semi slicks to streets tyres for this one to. Help to improve my driving and more fun

dunno if that was aimed at me but yeah sadly from my personal experience.. I want my $$$ back!
this is for an off the shelf "king lows"

I too fell for the off the shelf Kings, as recommended to me by a mate's mechanic. Sadly, the car is higher (was told it'd be the same or lower) and handles worse (was told it'd handle better) than with the no-name progressives on the front, and the dodgy cut stockers on the back that were on it when I bought it. :\
I would also like my $$$ back... I'm convinced they are manufactured, not from steel, but from fail.
So I'm in Sydney, what's the best way to get into grip driving? Are there specific track days for amateurs and beginners to get out and try out some circuit driving. Do you need to have done an advanced driving course?
Also where do you go for these hillclimb events, I'd really like to get out into some motorsport.
^^a CAMS lisence will be a start for hillclimbs....just find a track and a club and make a phone call to get some forms sent out!

best way is next grip day at a track go to it buy cams licence for the year, join a cams affiliated club and your off
Is there any AE86 club, or club that most guys from here are on?
I'm part of the SDMA, Its a canberra hillclimb track.
But those of you wanting a CAMS licence. May I sugest waiting a few months (if you can hold out that long) before joining another club. Good news comes to those who wait
Disagree. Most 8/6 setups pretty much eliminate too much body roll/weight transfer characteristics and make the car unpredictable and difficult to drive on the limit. You NEED some lean in corners.
In my experience, softer spring rates with good quality dampers and big swaybars is the go for an all round setup. Stiffer springs can go fast, it just isn't that fast, and it's very hairy. Even for drifting I prefer the softer spring setup.
