Thanks guy, its good to get some support.

The display is going to look awsome i think. A good friend of mine is doing a lighting display for us, he does this for a living, so it should be great! We have promo girl organized, banners etc. PK has put in ALOT of work, time and his own money to get this off the ground, and ive been running around adelaide collecting peoples money to get it all in nice and early.

Can we see pictures of all the cars promo girl that are representing sau sa then

i think that is probably the more important question pk... do we at least get a vote on that?? :D

edit: errr... meybe not pictures of all the promo girl, damn strike out!!

Is there anycars with a decent looking engine bay and some nice kw figures???

it shouldnt be just on that.

im sorry but my engine bay looks shite at the moment and my car only puts out 120 kW BUT IM HAPPY WITH THAT.

i am always being asked "why didnt i get a turbo car" and "what a silly thing it was to get a n/a"

but you know what i DONT CARE its my car. i got what i wanted, im sick of everyone always judging a car by how many kW's it puts out and what the engine bay looks like etc...........

cant we just appreciate what the car looks like on the outside sometimes and not worry about how many kW's the car is putting out???

My car has been entered as part of the SAU entry. Is my engine bay to your standard, Dan? (Picture is a few months old and taken via camera phone)

RWKW? I'm not sure yet... hopefully 60-80rwkw more than it had last time I hit the drag strip.

Thought I'd add an interior picture too.

*EDIT* The engine bay was far from finished when this shot was taken... there's a lot more bling to come yet :nyaanyaa:

Completely off topic but, Dan, are you a weekend warrior or are you a regular? And where are you currently based (Keswick, Woodside, Hampstead or the other one - Oaklands Park area - I can't recall at the moment) ? I'm guessing you're a PTE. Been in very long? Me: SGT. Been 'in' for ~18yrs.

Thanks, Luke. As I wrote above, that picture is a little old now. There's still a bit more work to do - the engine bay should be looking a bit better and much cleaner by Autosalon time.

Yep mate, I remember you :nyaanyaa:

About 95% of it has been done here in SA. There's a mix of chrome, polished alloy, mirror polished stainless and some of it is silverchrome ceramic coating. You can't really see that much in the pic'.

I did some of it but most of it is professional work.

A1 Metal Finishers

Ceramic Coat Australia (part of Pacemaker Headers)

Stan's polishing (or something like that?)

From what I've seen of the cars entered, there is a good spread of power and cosmetic mod's. Something for everyone :nyaanyaa:

Well, we're fairly closely aligned then, Dan. I'm a RAAF Avionics Technician - pretty much the same as an ET in the Army. I'm at DSTO (near RAAF Edinburgh). The unit I'm with is Tri-Service (Army, Navy and RAAF) and surprisingly enough we regularly liase with the guys at 16AD Woodside (RBS70 sim' and info').

    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
