Karma S:

hv u done some course in NYC??? how are they structured??

here in Oz: they do it in stages. first the teach u the basics re sitting position (yes!), emergency braking, wet/threshold braking.

then second stage is stuff like quick shifting, heel-toeing, oversteer vs under-steer control.

the third and fun stage is skid plate fun, track driving- racing lines, trail braking etc...

definitely recommended for any drivers (who think they are good drivers).

since u dont know how crap u drive until u sit in a car driven by a pro. (better still, he drives ur car!)

disdis,

there are a couple of tracks in the area namely Lime Rock Park and Pocono Raceway. Unfortunately, living in New York City does not afford me the luxury of owning a car so I am only limited to doing go-kart sessions every now and then which is also a good way to learn about driving dynamics. I do have the desire to join some driving schools in the near future to learn more.

I am jealous of people who can take their car to the track, it's definitely a very good thing to take advantage of if you have the resources.

Please share your experiences on the track with your MCS after the sessions. Drive safely!

whats wrong with the EBC pads?? i cannot find a store selling Ferodo pads here....

i got the stereo stuff from mikethemini guy. he's from Liverpool London and is an active member in this website. search for this name and u can email or PM him to ask for details.

he ships to Hong Kong at a reasonable price and the quality of goods is very good. he's also a nice guy as well..

u will probably need the following:
-mounting template
- antenna adaptor
+/- wiring harness (makes it easier to install).

the first two is a must! but confirm with him first.

keep checking this thread as i will put more nice photo of my MCS later. just when for a country run with my friend of Clio 172. there was really nothing separating us in terms of speed.
took many pics as well!
