Niko Posted 27July, 2014 Report Share Posted 27July, 2014 I chased Nix around Phillip Island circuit today. His first time on track and over a year since I've been on track. Good fun.

Harvs11 Posted 27July, 2014 Report Share Posted 27July, 2014 Wow, good stuff for both of you......?photos????? I only got the camera out once. There would have been good footage of me chasing down NiX but I forgot to hit the video button on that session.

Niko Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 I chased Nix around Phillip Island circuit today. His first time on track and over a year since I've been on track. Good fun. Lucky for you he was in the "BIG RED 1" and not in the Coxster, otherwise you wouldn't have even seen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Felt a bit guilty today, haven't had the Coxster out for many weeks.... Went out to the garage, took off the cover, turned the key and got the "nearly flat battery" noise. Still kicked over though. So moved the rest of the fleet out of the driveway and took her for a drive down PLINK to get a bit of juice back into the battery. Took about ten k's to get the thump thump thump of the flat spot from the tyres out. Hope to take it for a better run later in the week.... tony1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Lucky for you he was in the "BIG RED 1" and not in the Coxster, otherwise you wouldn't have even seen him. I dunno Niko. The guy in the new Coxster S trying all day to catch my old timer 911 might tell you something different. StevepGT3 and Niko 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Haha probably a young whipper snipper in it. You need an old fart in a yellow one to give you a bit of hurry up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 As it was Nicks first track drive and I wasn't feeling like mixing it with the nutters in comp. , we were just playing around in the entree group. So no official times recorded. Using my own timer I recorded a new PB by over 10 seconds. First time I've been on a dry track with r spec rubber at PI. The driver coaches helped hugely with advice on lines, gears etc. and they risk life by jumping in with newbies. Hats off to them.

firstone Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 For the first time since purchase my key remote wouldn't unlock the boxter. I swore I would never leave more than five days without a drive. So a quick drive over the Burringbar range after a 7 day work schedule. I got home to have my lady hold my face with a gleeful smile and a kiss. She then commented, "you have a good life my dear". I do...

So what was the go with the remote, and what did you do....or was it the car having a flat battery? I am not looking forward to replacing mine, one has given up the ghost some years back...and a new battery in it didn't fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 29July, 2014 Report Share Posted 29July, 2014 Niko, if you get locked out of the Coxster just ask one of the kids in your hood if you can borrow their universal key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 29July, 2014 Report Share Posted 29July, 2014 Niko, if you get locked out of the Coxster just ask one of the kids in your hood if you can borrow their universal key He's already got one in case he locks himself inside with the hood up and a flat battery from euro doof doof.

The owners manual says something about the security system won't allow entry by remote after 5 or 7 days. Just use the key in the door. Maybe the Porsche stops purring after five days without a drive. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had that problem, but having said that I always leave it unlocked in the garage, just in case someone does happen to break in, they can just open the door instead of doing anything silly to the body or roof.

MaxzmusSC Posted 1August, 2014 Report Share Posted 1August, 2014 Decided last minute to go for a long drive up to Jenolan caves on my Friday off. Sunny and ice cold + 100km/hr speed limit in the mountains. With no one around and being able to WOTT!! simply amazing. tazzieman, _Tony, clutch-monkey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
