How many drives did the plastic container last? I used a similar setup for first newbie drive, which ended up container being shattered.

Hi @Chaitanya D, I managed to become available for the LiWA drive. I would like to leave this event to so as to get the car ready for the 2nd drive! I see lot of waitlist. It’s surprising that the drive was 80% full by 7:01 pm!! feels like booking the “Tatkal “ tickets back in India!!!

@Nithin Vaidir same to you my friend!

Thanks Richard @Wrangeld

Absolutely... excited to experience the next level!! Thanks @Frederic looking for the drives with you and learning from the best!

Thanks @Gaurav @Chaitanya D looking forward !!!

From what I can make out, the speed on the way back was way too much. Couple that with a short base and high lift, the CG of the car is expected to be high. Fishtailing and not applying counter steering. Recipe for “rollover raita”....

I am still trying to sort if it can work out. If slot is still available on 1st afternoon I will ask permission to join .

Hi @Gaurav @Srikumar although I was very excited and eager to , I will not be able to join the drive due to some work related issue that came up today. Please excuse me for this drive.

Hi @Chaitanya D I have completed 4 newbie drives as of today and going for my 5th drive to fossil rock on 27th morning. I request if I can join this drive in afternoon. I have all required gear. Would apply for rank up after the morning newbie drive.

Thanks!!

@Srikumar @Gauravhow to disable the airbags in the pajero? I remove the Traction control connector in the engine bay near the battery during the drives. Is that it or need something else? I drive 3.8 pajero 2014 LWB. @SrikumarI am planning to camp near our meeting point on 1st night. Any other suitable spot recommendation?

I did the unichip upgrade on the 2014 3.8 pajero this week on Sunday. Loaded with 5 maps with 5th being the stock OEM. I could see the difference ( improvement) in fuel efficiency for past 2 days (map 4) with 18%improvement in power output on dyno at full power map. also it holds 6k rpm on 1st gear... excited to test it in the dunes! @Gaurav @Rahimdad @Jas Gajaria

Thanks @Gaurav for the drive! looking forward for the next one!

@Rahimdad my garage guy has no experience in doing such a task. One shouldn’t reinvent the wheel. The community members have gone through this work and I understand it’s always better to get the work done with trusted partner. Nevertheless your point is noted. I will look out for it myself! Thanks!!! @Gaurav car check! Gear check! Radio check! Covid test check! All set to join tomorrow for the drive!!

Hey guys. I drive a pajero 2014 3.8 LWB. This would be my first newbie drive. M amazed at how fast the slots fill up for drives. @Srijith Gangadharan @Gaurav any recommendation for garages for the rear bumper sand scooping issues! I’ve checked the previous posts and they are quite old with no mention of location.

Roger that @Gaurav!

Hey @Gaurav will the screen less boefang radio ( one that we used during the absolute newbie drive) good for the drive?

Some pics of the Absolute Newbie drive on 9th oct .
