General Discussion / Re: Affordable Helmet Recommendations?
« on: September 16, 2023, 08:16:31 PM »
Shawn Bishop at http://rallysport.ca/ has a huge selection from affordable brands like Zamp to high end expensive ones like Bell, Stilo, Simpson etc.

Please do not buy a cheap helmet from Amazon, CBC Marketplace did an episode on those.

Huh, it's only been a year since Matthew & Jonathan started coming out?  Man, seems like they've been around forever!  I was going by the under two years as the intent, my memory is just faulty.

Matt has been around the scene for... 25 years, I think? That Talon has been around since the early or mid 2000s?

These were back in 2011 at Deerfoot Mall.

Matt hasn't aged at all!


I think Jonathan is the one on the left with a green hat?


Walking the course.
I miss those days when dudes were all wearing loose jeans and not skinny jeans like almost everyone is wearing now.

Hey Stuart,
Approximately how much will the lapping event on September 18th going to be?
And will my one and only lapping event at Race City from way back in 2011 count as past track experience?  :-\

SASC Events / Some photos from July 10 event

I no longer have my long arse telephoto lens, sold most of my equipment. I thought I’d bring my camera and see what I can do with a cheap arse wide angle lens. I was only able to shoot during my rest period which was Run Group 2.

Here are a few of what I came up with…




Got ABS?




I keep reminding myself to “Look Ahead! Look Ahead! Look Ahead!” but I often don’t do which makes me run wide in some areas and makes my inputs choppy instead of smooth.

Mate right here does a great job of looking far ahead…


Look how close he is to the cones in this part of the course…



The rest of Run Group 2, I think I got all of this run group?

















The rest of the photos are In This Album.

Since Tom won't be at this event. I guess that means run groups and work assignments will be announced or figured out tomorrow?

Automotive Marketplace / SOLD: Rare SSR Watanabe RS8 16"
« on: April 19, 2022, 03:38:29 PM »
Here’s your chance to own a rare set of SSR Watanabe RS8
Here are the wheel specs:
16x8
38mm offset
5x114.3mm bolt pattern
72mm hub bore

The Watanabe RS8’s are two piece wheels, the centre’s are separate from the barrel, much like some BBS wheels. These are the Type G, the centre’s are brownish bronze in colour. The centre’s can also be reverse mounted, meaning… you can put them on the back side, which will give you a massive lip and very little backspace, as you can see on photos 7 & 8 (the last 2 photos).

I will throw in a set of 16x7 blank barrels that don’t have centres on them, the specs on the blank barrels are in photo number 6. And if you can find a talented machinist that can precision cut them, you can actually combine the two and have a 3 piece 16x11set. That 11” width is by my estimation.

Located in Airdrie, AB but willing to meet up within a 50 km radius.
Yours for the price of $SOLD

Thank you to everyone involved for an amazingly fun weekend!

Glad to be back behind the wheel! I really enjoyed the whole weekend, even if I was DFL :P
The sunburn was well worth it.  :)

Winter is not that far and incase anyone is looking for a reliable beater or something reliable to drive while you're working on your project.

I've had it for nine years and it has never let me down. It has 349,000 kms, still runs great and very reliable, always starts in extreme cold temperatures. Front brakes were done this past April, battery is about 2 years old. Oil changes done every 6,000 kms with synthetic oil.

Body is good for its age, minimal to no rust, some dents and scratches. The bad... check engine light is on, it has been for over a year P0420 and P0430 code, catalytic converter. It does not affect performance, still runs well in spite of that.

I'm selling because I've got a slightly newer RAV4 on the way.

Priced to sell at $2,995
Message me if interested.
