Thanks for the warm welcome folks!

An Auto test? Sorry if I sound abit thick, is that dyno day kinda thing?

Thanks for the advice on drift/track cars. I do have a soft spot for the M3's, I think I just need to work out what I would like to do (track + drift or both). I think I would like to have somethnig which is running boost so if I need to and my skills eventually warrent it I can get more power from cranking up the boost.

Eddy, if I was to bin the idea of a drift car would you rate a Pulsar Gti-r as a track car?

Auto test mate :) where you have a short pre layed out course when you maneuver through cones and stop boxes in the shortest time possible :)

If you need something shooting, or a payload to low earth orbit. Just ask. :rolleyes:

Or when I drive slowly round and sometimes through a set of cones like an old woman:sifone:

Ahhhh haaaaaa

Thanks guys I had a feeling that it wasent a dyno session but you dont know till you ask. Yeah I would be up for a auto test, I take it just need to keep my eyes peeled in the events/meets section? I take it if I get the back end out on the Zed I will be sent home?

Yeah can do mate, or it'll just come up in the new forum postings when you log on :thumbs:

as for getting the arse end out, i should imagine it's at your own risk. but to be honest i was always getting mine out when i had the MR2 and had no dramas. :nod: if you're confident enough after a few runs, go for it :)

It's likely to be a confined circuit where the test is on neat handling, rather than drifting. I should have some dates in the next few days and will post them up asap :thumbs:

The Pulsars are great cars and ok on track out of the box. Spend a bit of money on the suspension/brakes makes a big difference and they need 280bhp+ to be quick enough as the transmission saps alot of power. Not the most reliable of things though and not easy to work on some areas. If you need more advice, give me a call.
