To say this post is a long time coming is a massive understatement, most readers have probably moved on waiting for this and are probably driving Golf Rs, Audi RS3s or Elgrands and hanging up the modification gloves.

The stock suspension in the EP3 Type R is actually already pretty good – firm, responsive and well balanced. Having clocked in a 1:10.6 time at Wakefield with the stock suspension, it was time to step up the game and tweak the suspension with a set of Hardrace H-S Coilovers.

Another trackday has come and gone, this time trak-life teamed up with Greaser Co. to co-organise an awesome day out at Wakefield Park Raceway in Goulburn.

My last trackday entry spoke about Pearl’s first outing at Wakefield Park Raceway which happened more than year ago. Seeing that I may never write about present events days after they happen; as I have yet to write about my last three track days, I’ll fast forward all the way to the most recent track day which was just over …

For the majority for us, a cold Sunday means staying in our warm beds and waking up late to our own accord.
