Couple of options from one backyard mechanic to another. 1. Put your flywheel on your BBQ on low heat for 10min, then with some heavy duty gloves try to install quickly. The heat should grow the flywheel by just enough. I have done this before when shifting ring gear (the bit the starter turns) from one flywheel to another and it works a treat. I know it sounds a bit redneck, but this should work. Alternative is an oxy torch to heat it up, but can be hard to get an even heat with an oxy. 2. The press method with the flywheel botls 1/2 turn at a time should work. Just take it easy. I'd say heating it would be the way to go thou. Hope that helps.

I never thought a 1.21 was possible in my car. But I kept pumping out laps and improved every visit. Lots to be said for feeling comfortable with your car and actually reaching the limits for a full lap.

Event Schedule added. See 1st post.

Panels don't need paint to compete.

My tip for these stickers is to go over them with a bank card first before attempting to pull the backing off. I think when the stickers are made they just place the top sheet over the cut vinyl and probably dont press them all that hard. But definatly patients and a slow peel is the key.

So when are we racetaping and cable tieing the engine in? Seriously - I'm glad you boys kept pursuing the dream. Let me know when you need help getting things sorted on the car. As you know I can swing a spanner.

Lol. Nice one Juz. This was a good fun little event. Cheap, and anyone can enter any car. Might have to go play in the dirt again soon.

For anyone who paid for a CAMS or AASA licence at Drift for Dummy's, I can confirm that they have both entities recieved the money + forms, and licences have been printed and should be posted already if not today. Ta, Chris.

I have someone in mind Ray. Will contact you by phone.

Just to confirm as I couldn't get to a PC before. AASA licences have been proccessed and they now say will post tomorrow. As per e-mail I just received from them. I can confirm that CAMS have taken money from the account, theirfore they should be mailed today also. Ta, Chris.

Not when the doctor is around.... Bris stop trying to talk up these NSW people. You know we go harder on and off track, it's a team wang pre-requisite. You've converted now anyway. Your one of us. Face it.

We'll just have to show them what mexican's with big mexican sombrero's, giant frozen margretta's and big wangs can do then.

I have many Gemini's - All Rusty! I was in the yellow supercharged 1.6lt one first up - Dropped a cylinder after 2 events. Then moved to the beige 1.8 with twin sidedrafts - manged to hold on all day, but no locked diff let us down. Also had the backup white coupe with changed ratio diff on standby. Red one was at home cying cause he is low on compression!

Just make sure you carefully inspect every tyre before buying from them. They often get tyres with chuncks out of the bead or the sidewall. I have bought a lot of tyres from them in the past.

Any pics yet joel? Did you get any of the yellow gemini mark 1 blowing up? Lucky we brough two backup gem's.

He, he, he, thanks guys - I just keep taking it out and driving the wheels off it. Hopefully that continues to be the rubber wheels and not the ceramic ones! Didn't feel I put together a 100% super lap at any point in the day. So a 1.20 is achievable if I can actually get some sleep before an event. But I think that might be about all the car can give.

By the way guys - there is a pre-meet tomorrow morning if anyone wants to attend, organised by Age. The Village Green Hotel, say @ 8:15, with a depart time of 8:30. Should give us heaps of time to get to Moorabbin airport. Bec

I'm a little disappointed I can't give blood for the UK reason. Especially since I have lived here since 1984. Can you get a blood test or something first to clear your name?

Looks like the event is full. I have enough entries now to fill this event. I have to sort through a pile of faxes and see which ones got in first. Which I wont do till probably Monday. So all entries from now on will go onto the waiting list. Thanks for your support guys. The fax machine is requesting annual leave!

OK let's move on people. We've all had go here. Lets move on and look forward to working on better events in the future.

Just saw this thread now. What's the dates for the UK thing? Since I was born there in '81, I think it rules me out. But if not i'll come.

I agree with many points people have posted here. I would have loved to come up for this event, but with the already full Sheparton/DECA schedule we have it just wasn't going to happen for me. (Add Dutton-VIC to that list) But can I make this suggestion for the future: For any club / person planning future events that they wish the SAU-VIC committee/ Car Club to support and attend. The best way to go about this is to let us know about the event well in advance, and then come along to an SAU General club meeting to discuss in person, and then if required we will ask the indivduals to come along to our committee meetings to work out particulars.

You're on the other side of that big river thingy. So your the competition. Blame Brisby - He seems to think that us VIC guys have no chance of beating any GTST guys on a NSW track. So this is our chance to prove it. But then Brisby also thinks he's going to make it to Dutton. Let alone beat the original Team Wang!

So who got my Sys. Admin job? The day after I put in my resume was the day it was removed. Tell them I would have been a better choice...

Yes I have it Berin. IF you wish to do Sandown you still can on the 30 day temporary licence until the book arrives from CAMS. Let me know what you want to do.
