Lakeside Khana X

 

Lakeside Khana X GoGo!

GT86 Ready for action


Bring Anything. But Assume Nothing.


Slowcars are fast. 


Fast cars are fast and fast cars are slow


Drivers are fast and slow


Cars are cool


Tesla, i30, GR86, GRYaris... new cars are new


Mix of old new. Expensive and cheap.


Track is top of second gear... not fast. 


My friend's Suzuki "Istsuki" is inspired by Bunta .


Hammer on. #33


plough and slide


slow at the gate


fast links


Just another blue hatchback


exactly the same


Silent WRX


Modified GR86

My car was about 1 second behind after 10 years of evolution and .4 litres less power. 


Heavy Hitters


Leaving #11s


Light Toys. 


treading lightly


video captures


low quality


I had fun sliding and grooving. 



Out of 40 cars and drivers, 13th is not bad shaving 3 seconds off from the first run.  I was #29


Second Layout I was 7th on the first run then we left early cause we were both tired. But I'm sure there was a few more seconds to come as you learn the line more.   

I wouldn't say I was trying that hard. Just learning the limits and enjoying spinning these old pilot sports off the line. The pilot sport tyres don't get mut heat in the 40 seconds a lap. but that means lots of slidies.   

A fun day.

Gt86 Golden Time.

 

The Gold Coast aint so bad and the gold wheels are growing on me. 


GT86 Shocking Drive

 

Why Shocking?

Well shocks were installed and weather was shocking terrible. 


These pics were taken in a break in the intermittent rain near Byron Bay. 


the previous Nights Touge Run was abandoned. Soooooooo Wet.  

Anyway... the car is a bit hard for everyday running. Slowly getting used to it. but the 255 michelins are great. 

I need a good weekend to go for a real drive but recenty every day is just more storms or wet.
