I'm only entering if it's wet

I know they're book in as a support catagory for the 12hr. Not sure about the 1000 though, haven't seen anything for that.

Great day had by all. Huge thanks to the Exec. team for organising a fantastic day. Ran really smoothly and the friendly turn out just added to the fun. The little Proton ran flawlessly all day and drove home with out a problem which was a bonus. The drive to work this morning was a little more interesting with the brakes obviously deciding that they'd done enough work and had gone on holidays so I should probably pick up some a new set. Only issue I had all day was the wheel falling off jack as I was draging it across the carpark, but what can you expect from Super Cheap. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did and I'll see you all at the next one.

Entry forms and payment sent.

No you don't want progressive spring rates on race car. We run 9.8kg front springs and 7.6kg rear springs on our 32gtr and that works quite well. But we used to run it mostly at oran park which was very bumpy and it used to handle very nicely. So it maybe too soft if the circuits are smooth. Best to talk to a suspension guru who deals with race cars not road cars and has knowledge/experiance at the tracks you use. Get their advice on a ball park rate, start there and try a few different spring rates to see what your driving style responds best to.

I'll enter the proton tomorrow

You're wasting your time with V8SC slicks. You'll need 11inch wide rims (can use them on a 10 but wouldn't go any narrower) and with the stiff springs you run, lack of body stiffness (ie no roll cage) and the massive side wall they have, the car will be bouncing around like a pogo stick.

That's the funniest thing I've seen in ages!

Ah the joys of owning a modified import. So my brother little pulsar is having cooling issues that we haven't been able to sort in time so it's not going to make. As a result we're going to double enter my car. Do I just need to sort this out with the scrutineers on the day or do I need to contact someone prior?

I've got both so I'll just use the AASA, but I was more concerned with signing on and the officials trying to make me pay the non-members price because I didn't have a valid members card.

I haven't received my current membership card yet. Will this be a problem when signing on?

I'm pretty sure it was registered and back on the road 3 or 4 weeks after he picked it up from you.

I'm just bringing my little proton hatchback and my brother is bringing his over powered, under braked and under tyred GTiR Pulsar

Just payed for 2 spots. Forms have been emailed in. Now I just need to organise tyres, brakes, sway bars, a wheel alignment and I'll be set.

Yeah I think you will have to roll the guards. Ours were already rolled and it was awhile ago that we tried them so I can't remember exactly how close they were.

They will fit. However you will have to remove the inner wheel arch guards and the factory blow off valves if you still have them. The car will ride hi but it's not too much of an issue if you set the car up right. Last time I saw the Windfield GTR at eastern creek it was running these exact tyres.

It was 8th outright in Open. It won it's FWD class.

Yeah that's me. There's a running joke between Brad and myself about him selling off my random car parts that are in his garage. It's all good as I want to change the design slightly to suit my pump and try something different so if we sell that one we'll just cut up another one to suit. I think 2 litres will be plenty. We used about half a litre to paint the floor and both fire walls of the r32 by brush.

If you're going to sell my sump then make sure you pull my diff out of it first!!

We used mini cutting discs in the die grinder to cut the intrusions out of the R32 doors. I think we went through two disks cutting them out. Talk to Brad about it cause he did most of the work.

Sounds like someone didn't eat their wheatbix

For that price I'll take 2

Go to ebay.com and search for makita 18 volt. There's a few sales going on at the moment over there so stuff is extra cheap. Apparently the pack I got has a RRP of about $3700. I got it shipped to my door for $2000 and that was with a 95 cent exchange rate. Got some 2000cc drop in injectors shipped to me for $750 as well.

Here's some cool stuff that arrived in the mail the other. Gotta love the exchange rate at the moment Inherited these cir-clip pliers and stethoscope off the old man (don't think he's noticed yet)
