About 230rwkw.Modified the suspension to Lovell Springs, Koni reds and bigger sway bars. Didn't get too serious with coilovers as it's a daily driven work/family car. Tyres were 245 18" Toyo R888's, 4 pot Front Brembos with SBS front pads, rear Territory brakes. Wheels were 18" x 8.5" Enkei RPF01's to clear the Brembos.Best lap time was a 2min 01.Next time was last year, and only mod was a tune to 276rwkw and a cold day. Knocked off 5 sec to 1min56!

A mate of mine used to organise/run the track days for ferrari club nsw. They flat out refused to go to eastern creek because of the prices, which from what I believe, a mid week track day at EC is about double what wakefield charge for a sat/sun hire.Your best bet is to investigate whether you can rock upto a private practice day Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74350-eastern-creek-track-day/#findComment-1097968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
