Here at trak-life, it’s no secret we’re fans and advocates of the Intima brand. Having used their brake pad range for over 5 years predominantly for track purposes, all three compounds offer amazing performance for the price. The Type-D is their track focused compound and are the sole pad used in Pearl (the S15) and more recently in the EP3 …

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. Open pit lane format, 10 cars max on the track at one time, 32 cars total – it’s the ideal time attack equation. From the trak-life stable, the S15, EP3 Type R and 180 …

Where on earth did the first half of 2014 go? More than half way through the year and we’ve only had one lousy visit to the track. It was none other than Wakefield Park of course since Luddenham is still a long way away, Marulan is too small and Eastern Creek events are just about as rare as legitimate odometer …

As 2013 winds up, it is only natural to reflect upon the years highlights… the two last trackdays being one of those highlights. The biggest track upgrade of the year for Pearl was put to the test in the last two trackdays of the year which was the HSVOC trackday in October and a random Speed Off The Streets day …

With clouds looming and the forecast questionable, many were skeptical on how the day would turn out. Thankfully it ended up being one of the warmer Wakefield days, although a bit of rain around midday did put a halt on PB smashing temporarily. Definitely didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits though, as throughout the whole day the total pace and average lap …

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. But for the determined and excited few, braving the cold and long drive down to Wakefield Park Raceway for a track day is better than any sleep in. Organised by the HSV Owners Club of NSW and with …

Looking back on the time I owned Sky, we had many good times but as with most things it was time to move onto bigger and better things. The choice was simple, either plough a fair wad of cash into the old girl or replace her with someone faster, newer and sexier. The latter was the smart man’s choice and …

Waiting eagerly in my garage was my pride and joy Sky (SKY-180), a recently acquired 180SX with R32 GTS-T running gear and a RB20DET making about 170kw atw. Although she was an impulse buy due to massive turbo withdrawals, Sky’s primary goal was to do blisteringly quick lap times at the track. Her first appearance at the track would be …
