Skid pan!

[resin]

Some delicious copypasta from what I just posted on RSLC!

Hello sailors.

My dads mate hired the Gympie skid pan out just before christmas so I took a spin up there to have a go. I was originally just going to take my familia round because it was already in Gympie, and my mate was going to give me a lift up in his r33 gtr but he was ill and couldn't go, SO I got to take my little coupe around.

I'd just bought myself a camera and I handed it to my parents to take some video. Protip: don't trust parents with cameras.

I managed to get a couple of decent videos but most of them where taken with the digital zoom wound right in, went for 15 seconds or they just weren't taken at all.

So without further ado:

The leone on my last run of the day. I didn't take it out much because it was rather useless. Handbrake is on the front wheels, its auto, and it has 25 year old suspension. Still it was fun fun, and it scared the **** out of the yokles with their fulli sik d0rifto s13's.

My familia after I'd figured out what I was doing. Needs another gear between 1st and 2nd. 1st tops out at 40km/hr and when you shift up you get traction and all of a sudden you're doing 70 and have to do a 180' turn

And the instructor showing me how its done, even he said it liked to push, so I backed the front swaybar bolts right off and it was much better.

Cheers.
