Calder Park on a friday night??

I think that would be your cup of tea Paul....

Or maybe come to one of our track days, see fast cars... go around corners... :ninja:

How far out is Calder....are you running any track days while im down....people tend to forget that i was a track racer way before i started drag racing. My first time at a drag strip was to watch Stacey race...so she is to blame for my straight line antics.

Yeah we are dead keen to get tickets to see a finals match on the 23rd or 24th at the MCG. As soon as tickets are being released can someone let me know.

Given the ladder situation I'd say there is a 5% chance of a prelim actually being played in Vic this year unfortunately (Weekend 23-24). However - IF there is a game in Vic I might be able to hook you up with a couple of tickets. Obviously we won't know if there is going to be a game in Vic that weekend until after the 1st week of the finals.

Benno is not exactly close to the city - is probably about a 1/2 hour drive from the city centre to Bayswater in no traffic.

9/6 Halloway Drive, Bayswater

9762 9421

You can check out THIS thread for other workshops.

your kidding arent you?

30mins to Baysie from the city?

Try an HOUR to get there, and hour to get back, and hour to talk shit :D

Paul - unfortunately with the way the ladder finished it seems there isn't going to be any footy in Melbourne that weekend. This weekend and the Grandfinal are the only weeks you'll see footy in Vic again this year.

Also - not doing Calder. As much as its always fun beating Ferrari's - I'm doing the Dutton the weekend before (15-17th) and so generally after that event I don't even want to look at my car for a month or so afterwards. LOL

I'll keep my ear to the ground and see how I'm feeling. Must be time to drag Nelly into town for a few drinks and maybe Stacey can convince her to come and play at the track with me :(

Paul, yep Calder is still on, should be a good day, hopefully it won't rain.... did you bring a helmet?? :)

They have passenger laps in the morning... You could probably borrow one from somebody else, may take up too much of your luggage space...

Cheers,

Jack

Ill feel more comfortable in my own Jack...i have no "carry on" luggage so ill take it as carry on.

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
