Here is a few pics from the rally day with skid control. I do have some footage of in car and a small video but I will Mash it all together and do a compliation as most of it is absolute rubbish.
A big thankyou to Luke who was brave enough to be my co-pilot and passenger for the day. He saved us coming off track a few times by giving me a hand signal or 2 if I was coming in to hot on a corner.
It unfortunately did not work when I came into a corner at about 100 when I should have been doing about 80 lol. We slid and bumped around but the Move did not fall. I think we were both waiting for it to be honest.
The shock and spring combo worked really great and while we were like 2 ball bearing being shook in a rattle can we had an absolte ball. We came of track a total of 2 times and quite a few “pray to jesus” moment’s that made you laugh like a school girl when we made it.
There was a mix of cars out on track from hyundai excel’s to a full track patrol and a 3cyl 6 speed buggy thing, a couple of commo’s, a volvo and some other’s
I really noticed that we were more competitive and faster on the sharter track than the bigger track but both had their own challenges and fun.
Subaru’s I would say were probably the quickest cars there as a whole as there was quite a few of them and the 4wd or awd that they have really works wel for them. in this environment.
I would not say the move was the slowest car there of the day but definatley not the quickest either, but I can say it did get alot of attention and I think it surprised a few people.
Came to the end of the day and the worst thing that happened was the battery died on me at one point and had to jump start it and from then on it it had a horrible hunt but was still good to go and after getting home I notice I snapped a radiator support which is fair really as it was a flimsy honda aluminium one from ebay that cost about $3.
I flogged the guts out of the move each time I went on track and it took it’s beating all day and survived good. I have ordered a new battery (mine is about 4 yrs old and only had a 12month warrenty) and if it’s not that I will replace another alternator as I have a few here.
All in all a great day that I recommend anyone to have a go at for just the shear fun of it. They dont have lap timer’s or anything so you cn use an app if you really want but we just had fun.
Fun it was!
