Awesome weekend.

Thanks to everyone who made it a great weekend, as its been said, these days couldn't run without people volunteering to officiate.

Thanks to:

Racingline Motorsport for sponsoring the event, and my tequila shots on Sat night :O

Mav for being my taxi for the weekend, greatly appreciated.

J for the laps in the Superhatch.

Saturday night was TOPS. Ahhh the Yahoo Bar definately brings out some strange locals. Too much Tequila. Those people working at KFC must love us - at least we keep them entertained once every few months.

yeah, thanks to those that called me at 1.30am and left messages on my phone from what sounded like the KFC Drivethough :P

apparently "I've got the gays.......7 times" :laugh:

Hahaha - you'll know better than to go home next time :O

Taking your car for a thrash around DECA for the day: $70

Massive 1.4lt cocktails at Taco Bills: $31.50 each

Entry to local hick Yahoo bar: $10 ( include 2 free drinks )

Seeing Nige putting the guy that was in the back seat of a daewoo trying to impress the three other chicks in there with him in KFC drive-thru, back in his box......PRICELESS

PMSL - funniest thing ever

I don' think I will ever forget the carpet in that club though, I didn't think carpet could get that sticky ;)

I know!!!

Unless Gemma says no again of course...

:P

BRING ON NOVEMBER!!!

And one last thing to add - ROSCO - great to see your car working again, it sounded awesome. :D

Awsome day! wish I could have stayed for the Night but I am not sure how the old man would have enjoyed that??

Regardless I had a ball and the AMG didn't die on us. Came away quite impressed with my dads abilitys at 59yo!!

We took it easy in the car all day, but was still happy to look good having fun. Anyway, I am bringing the F6 and a spare set of tyres next time!!!

Thankyou to everyone for putting on the day!!

P.S. Ross, love the 32!!!

Rosco's gate out of the gate launches on the long wang were very impressive. Such a rad car. You have most definitely got the gays if you sell it.

Eric: Joel will have them up in a few days. He's away for work at the moment.

He still has the gays because he had full use of a line locker and 2WD switch which didn't get used!

Whether the clerk of course and motorsport director would have appreciated it is another story :P

Thanks Jamessssss :P

One good thing to come out of this w/e is: no more weak sauce std wheels/tyres for the next one - I'm going full semis on the std wheels.

Now anyone recommend a good set of 17/225/50 semicomp ?

I had a ball considering all things wrong with the tyre set up . THANKS 11thbillion to all the organisers AND the volunteer marshalls and staff.

Thumbs up to the usuals and happy to put faces to some of the names of the people that I met .

Awesome day once again... big thanks to all the organisers and helpers (especially Bec who was unwell but still running around getting people organised!)

Whoever is in charge of the weather for these things should take a bow, perfect again!

I had trouble keeping the car straight as usual and hit more cones than Cheech but had a ball regardless

good to chat with a few people I hadn't met before and put some names to faces, one day the missus and I will stay for the Sat night festivities, sounds like you all made Roy proud!

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
