Oran Park Track Day in the wet = Sideways (VX SS)

[Nomis231987]

Did you find the Xr alot more tail happy? I have a bf Xr and vz ss so pretty similar as vx just different face and the vz seems to under steer at slower speeds but gives you more confidence when you chuck it into corners I want to sell one and concentrate on one of them! Any suggestions? Did you sell the Xr for a reason!

[AeronPhotos]

@Nomis231987 Yeh, the XR was more tail happy. I have a video on youtube from Eastern Creek in the wet and it was so much fun. I sold the XR because I love the grunt of the V8. Also, on hot days the XR seemed to be a bit sluggish, and it was worse with the aircon on. Perhaps this was down to it being a BA series1 5 speed manual. But it just didn't feel quick, even after a flash tune. Some people think im crazy for selling the XR6T to buy a VE SS but I enjoy driving the SS more.

[Nomis231987]

So which car is better xr6 or ss? Have you had them out in dry and how they compare wet to dry????

[AeronPhotos]

@Nomis231987 I took both cars to Wekefield Park in the dry when the XR6T was standard and the SS had AP Racing brakes installed and they both did the same lap time (a 1:17.???). But since then the SS has been modified to a similar spec to the V8utes and I traded the XR6T in for a VE SS.

[AeronPhotos]

@AeronPhotos I still love Fords but. I'd LOVE an FG GT!!! HOT!!

[SuperTreyone]

lmao haha so sad,

[AeronPhotos]

@SuperTreyone What is so sad?

[BIackkJackk]

Nice skills. Did you sell your xr6 turbo? I was wondering how the vx ss compares to the xr6t. I am trying to decide between the two.

[AeronPhotos]

@BIackkJackk Yeh I sold the XR6T and bought a VE SSV. The SSV is nicer to drive and I love the low down instant V8 grunt. I still have the VX too.

[MrKm1977]

black lotus is my uncle spinning out... love the right foot steering tho :P

[tuffiek]

Don't follow so close you tool.

[AeronPhotos]

@tuffiek You're a cock. Are you even old enough to drive a car? Its a bit hard to pass anyone without following them closely.

[twinturbonissan300zx]

@AeronPhotos how much did it cost u too do this? As for your car being fully stripped and caged, it's a wonder all manufactures dont put roll cages in all cars they build, considering stuart highway n87 in the northern territory is no longer unrestricted.....

[AeronPhotos]

@twinturbonissan300zx From memory it was about $200 but it you have a CAMS license you can do Eastern Creek in Sydney for about $110. Wakefield Park in Goulburn is a good track for 1st timers and costs about the same.

[Forde3654Eire]

I must say, excellent car control! Great driving!

[160pitty]

try shifting while your sideways so you can keep going. nice action though. :)

[IBLOWN]

Haha awesome fun.

[HEKTIC458]

did a very good job to keep it from going off the track. looks like you were having alot of fun =D

Wow bad luck at the end with the spin, i bet you wouldve got a fright!!

[Kieran263]

loves the right foot steering! XD

[yNeville]

is this car full street trim? what brakes you got

[AeronPhotos]

@yNeville Yeh, it was in full street trim. The brakes AP Racing front and rear. The car has since been fully stripped and caged.

[CodyLeeWatson]

What camera mount did you use for this video?

[AeronPhotos]

Its mounted to a tripod, then the tripod is strapped down tight to under the front seats and the rear parcel shelf. Works quite well.

[mickeynismocat]

Great footage! Looks like you have fun, Track days are awesome and it's good to have a wet one everynow and then too! Your in a great car for it too!

[toughvz]

fucking sweet video mate. one of the best 9 mins iv spent on youtube lol. keep it up bud, some nice controlled drifting there!

[stevofordxh1]

bloody nice video, the drifting was just so smooth, and nice to see your keeping the manual and steering wheel busy.

kept that spin under control as well.

tops video mate

[snaggletooth1351]

excellent that was really awsome to watch good skills and good to see busy on the wheel!!

[1986FordFalcon]

Nice work Aeron. You could tell you were getting more confident as the day went on. Not sure why the car spun out like it did, but it certainly came out of nowhere :)

[frombris]

that was fucken sick awesome car awesome car control awesome conditions

[sall444]

all ya need is tha datto 180 b in these conditions

[bnz500]

[bbrla123]

take a supercharged holden or ford v8 on there! mind you... you probably only need a datsun 120y engine to slide by the looks of this clip

[oneeyeonthepie]

Struth! its as slippery as a bag full of eels

[boota24]

yer dude looks like fun... up the vx's love them specially when there sideways ....and all u diks out there mockin.. i dont see u puttin vids up... thats right no 1 wants to see datson 120y's on utube

[timmay1989]

the drift at 2:50 is pretty good most of the other are just power oversteer out of the corner but good job looks like fun:)

[loschy351]

looks like fun boys good job for havin a crack

[Memphis35]

A fwd could beat you in these conditions. You got oversteer out of every corner. The fwd would power away.

[AeronPhotos]

I was just having a bit of fun mate. Thats why I was sideways so much. I wasn't going for lap times in those conditions.

[mazzstein]

awesome control

[thee0n3]

hey man thats some nice bloody drifting, fk racing just drift it all day lol. btw how much did it cost u to get in to d race track?? & do u need any licence other that a drivers licence to get in??, or like is their any minimum age recirements. wb thx man

[mikaa87]

[AeronPhotos]

Hey, it was wet, I wanted ABS. There is a wall right up close to the track at the last corner..........I didn't want to lock it up and crash. LOL

[Sp33dy1]

Man i wish i got slide my 95 3000gt. But hey, its not like theirs a track anywhere around Chino Hills California anyway. So im stuck on the street.

[marek0086]

[nicbebbo]

[xr06t]

looks like you got pretty close to that pit straight wall a coupla times haha!

what happened with the spin? drop the rear into the dirt?

[AeronPhotos]

Close. There was a little pool of mud on the edge of the track from all the rain and silly me put the right rear wheel in it and when I turned in, 'round she went. LOL

[Glenno87]

[HoldenVFord]

[HoldenVFord]
