Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated and spectated. These event are organised for everyone to enjoy and to give their cars an absolute caning under a controlled environment without the fear of causing any serious damage to themselves or others.

Secondly, special thanks must go to Snowy and Chris for planning such a great event! Thanks also to everyone who helped out on the day including all the marshals, Team BBQ (not Ash) and everyone else who took time out of their schedules to come up and assist in making the day run so smoothly.

Thirdly, thanks to Team NSW for making the long haul down to Vic to join in the fun! We hope you had a ball and enjoy the Sat festivities which is Taco Baz and anything which happened afterwards. Just remember kids, GPS doesn't know everything... :pwned::nyaanyaa: Have a safe trip home!

I have to give personal thanks to Snowy for giving me the trademark "Snowy 2 min lesson in handbraking" as this helped immensely in making my day so much more enjoyable! I think I've almost got it right now and the understeering pig which is my car has transformed itself into an awesome machine! It's amazing how much a couple minutes of tuition from someone who knows what they're doing can do to make you a better driver!

All I need to do is make the car more responsive down low (without spending heaps of $$$ on a new turbo).

Aaron, good to see you made it home ok. 3 out of 5 forward gears is plenty ;)

Can't wait to see some pics, vids and results!!

Big thanks to everyone that came and made the day so enjoyable for all. It was in my opinion one of the best DECA's we've had.

The new format worked great and meant we were never rushed for time but I don't think anyone feels they missed out with the missing practise run. The afternoon battle format was definitely great.

A big thanks of course go to everyone that helped out on the day. It really is appreciated that we have more and more of our regulars putting up their hands and helping out for parts of the day.

I must also thank everyone that looked after our special guests from NSW and the staff from Taco Bill's that came down during the day. I've said it before but it's the friendly accommodating nature that makes these days so great. The other thing that was really great yesterday was the number of people having drives in others cars. This is an experience I'm sure everyone who was involved in appreciates and it's just great that as a club we are so prepared and trusting to allow this kind of thing to happen.

I must say I was probably the biggest example of this yesterday and other than my WRX which I brought up I also had the pleasure of having a run in Jame's EVO, Leewah's GT-R, Fooboy's EVO, Scotsman's GT-R and Ryan's 180. And I had offers from plenty of other for drives in their cars too. So big thanks to everyone that either let me drive or offered their cars - it was great fun.

I can also tell you all on Friday I had the chance to test out some new designs for our August DECA in both full skidpan and battle runs and I think the next DECA may have the best events ever. So we can look forwards to that already.

Cheers

Snowy

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
