don't listen to me then! sorry Bec I was told "It is a wrx club requirement that you do DT if you have not done any track work previously."

but yeah its worth it anyway ;)

It is unless you can demonstrate to the ms director that you have other sufficient motorsport exeperience, i.e hillclimb, state level karting etc...

Even then the clerk of course on the day may put you back into DT if he's not satisfy with your driving, eg. you keep falling off the track. This has happened before.

If you think that you will be fine then you can just go for it. Thats what i and a few i know did. none of us were queried about it. Saying that, if you arent so confident then DT is the way to go.. also, has your car been in any magazines? (do-luck) looks familiar....

I believe his car used to be owned by a friend of mine, and it was in Fast Fours. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Bingo, it was owned by Pete, and when he owned it the car was in FF Sept 2004.

Will licenses be available on the day?

Licenses yes - but you will need to arrange to be a club member first if you aren't one as yet before you can get a license and that can't be done on the day.

Doesn't have to be a member of SAU - but you will need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches 路 Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
