following the success of the last drift cruise (minus the weather) to oran park last october and the fact i can't wait till this october to see more drifting, I've decided to head up to eastern creek in july to see round three of the drift australia series.

It'll probably be same plan as last time meet at the museum nice and early sunday morning around 7am to leave at 7:30am stop for some breaky at macca's exida then head on into eastern creek.

Should be another awesome fun filled day (hopefully minus the little incident and the weather from last time lol) so if you interested let me know and hopefully we can get a big cruise happening again

cheers

Shawn

p.s with any luck i hope to finally have my car back by this lol

just for sunday entry is normally $25

don't tell me the results frm todays sbs show had to tape it (bloody shopping with the missus lol)

saw the start with the v8 r34 i know it's sacroligious but that thing was fair farken cool :D

It should be on youtube soon. DA have started posting each round on there.

Results have been up for ages, but the funny thing is that on the Official Drift Australia site, it's wrong.

It was a shit round tho, Bolger wasn't drift battling anyone and should have been disqualified.

yeah that was a bit gay how he'd hang back and then catch up not really in the spirit of the sport

I noticed on the telecast yesterday that there was one time it was obvious he was doing the catch up thing, and the commentators were talking about how it was a good tactic. Then when they showed the battle results he actually lost the battle where he was following, so the judges marked him down for it.

I went to every DA round last year as pit crew for a mate in Super Drift, and went to Mallala this year. My mate's now had to pull out of SD this year because of uni commitments, so I'd be keen for this cruise to EC. Hopefully I'll have my 32 on the road by then as well.

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
