LOL so who has a big list of stuff they want done to their cars before this day :D I know I do ~

Since there are a few race cars floating around, I guess there's no problem with weight reduction then is there? :cheers:

Ando, I know I said it's a safe track but please try and stay on the track!

No worries Adam, all banter said and done, I WILL be driving very cautiously on the track, dont wont to hurt the poor girl after all the work done to her. More interested in getting to 'know' my car.

Back on topic, looking forward to finally getting out there, becoming a track addict!

LOL so who has a big list of stuff they want done to their cars before this day :D I know I do ~

that is sooo not funny!!

my list is 2 pages long.

can someone give us track noobs a checklist on preparation before hitting the track??

and also on maybe what to bring to the track?

BWA, you've already paid for most stuff you would need including the licence so it will be much much much cheaper this time round.

Entry fee, petrol, food, maybe an oil change afterwards which wilch will happily fulfil. haha I'm so funny.

DIF, it will be great to get another girl out there. We're slowly evening up the numbers. Entry fee + $85 for L2S licence (which is an annual fee not every time), about $30 for the fire extinguisher or borrow one off someone, then get your car ready and race.

Best for me if you all pay CAMS directly. You have to be a member of SAU NSW Club to get one. CAMS will check with us when they go over your form. Details are all on the form linked to in the first post.

Handbrake or no handbrake - wont change much either way :)

I just put my cams forms thro on friday :D

now to just everything else organised.. when do we have to pay by?

Deadline is when all places are filled but it would really help us out if everyone was paid at least 3 weeks before the day.

Hey Adam, can we get confirmation if we are paying $140 or $150!?

Cheers buddy

Ando

hmm sounds good

so how many ppl are allowed to race total? I'm definitely keen to run the 31 again and wakefield is an awesome track. I'll have to talk to my dad, might be able to get him to bring his XY GT for another thrash. Also a mate with an RX-7 S2. Looking forward to holding u guys up (Since im not allowed a turbo, thanks a lot RTA :cheers: ) hahahaha youz probaly won't want me to come now.

Let me think about it but keen at the moment.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
