  2. Dark Horse Servicing

    Engine oil life warning come on earlier than expected, putting this down to a couple of track days so not too concerned. Can't believe the car is now 2yrs old with 18000km, and because of the track days I also asked for oil changes for the diff and tremec. This is where it gets interesting...
  3. Next minor upgrade

    Right, putting this on list to do before heading back to the track end of July.......will have to clean OEM's out and get some none oiled ones, I was looking at ones on Lethal website, but the postage was more than the filters. Thanks for the tip:like:
  4. Paint Protection Film (PPF) over hood decals

  5. Future Dark Horse allocations for Australia?

    250 stock DH's - wonder if they will allow people to order colours, transmissions, seats or upgrade to Handling package - or if already pre allocated to dealers like last time.....tried build app and does not mention DH as an option. 250 T8 models will be offered in avalanche grey with upgrades...
  6. Track Apps Speed Times

    Haha, the car is quite capable.....the driver needs more practice.....first session and had someone say....gee, thought I would be faster....did get him in times at end of day. There is so much more handling in the car, so much fun, and QR is a great track for low consequence if you make a...

  8. OEM Brake Pads

    That is the best way to describe the sound, especially in high speed sweeping turns, like the tyres are scrubbing all the pick up off
  9. OEM Brake Pads

    Just a timed track day event, there were 12 cars in session, think it means 4th on track, just gave each other enough room so not in each other's way on track, but each car is grouped in classes ie NA, turbo tuned, AWD, slick tyres and so on, so it might be a reference to that as well, not too...
  10. OEM Brake Pads

    Extra rubber, not blisters, took that pic when back in carpark, was surprised how sticky these got when heated up, how quick they fall off when they overheat....... between sessions I did not notice, no tell tale vibrations either, but you could hear slot of pickup hitting body work first hot...

    No LC mode also polishes the bitumen for about 20m as well:sunglasses:
  15. Track Apps Speed Times

    Thats what happens, somewhere between 7k and 7.2k.....then takes a bit to fire again, or change up gear and goes again, experienced on the track day when mucking around
  16. Track Apps Speed Times

    Anyone else tried this yet - did one without launch control and got a 4.32s........did again straight away with launch control at 4000rpm and got a 3.42. Accurate or not.....it is a bit of fun, for the DH 6 speed, it is only 1 gear change before it flashes up session ended on dash (2nd good to...

  20. Insurance for 2024 S650 Mustang

    Good to see there seems to be consistency over the industry when it comes to repairs. Did a decent number on the lease car back in November when I took on an 8ft kangaroo in the rain at 3am in the morning.....patched the car and drove back to SEQ, to their credit, organised and got car into...
