Ok lads, we've been pretty slack with the whole SAU Qld part of things, so I need to know how many people are willing to help out with starting the QLD arm and who is willing to join the club.

I probably should have started a little earlier but being so far away from you all makes things a tad difficult.

So who's in...

Well I was hopeing to have a chat with you and cam at the skidpan, i am really keen in getting this official, you're right we have been slack, and now with the NSW guys having already done it, we have no excuses about where to start.

I think we really do need to get everyone together in person to discuss it though, as online is a bit harder, although in your case squizz it is more then understandable.

Hopefully if we can at least get two or three of us behind it, we will get it going soon enough.

well der im in. we've still got the SDU QLD Member Register as well remember.

i'd like to continue my involvement at an official level if its suitable/required, but we can discuss this at the skidpan somewhat. we need to sort out what positions will actually be needed, and what their respective commitments will be.

an organised irc chat will be good for this.

remember - what we have is a GOOD THING. we dont want to over-officialise or structure this great relaxed social thing we have. SVD (in qld anyway) suffered its fate because of this and lack of members.

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
