Morwell....... I always love going there.

Team SAU was throroughly entertaining all day long. Great job guys.

Some vids:

Chris:

Ryan:

Dave:

I got 2 more vids - but youtube keeps saying Failed :S - I haev no idea - so the above will have to do for now.

I also took pics - but Jarrod's are 10 times better, so look at his :(

Loved the drift action all day long from the RWD lads :(

Ryan had an awesome drift all the way around the keyhole which we failed to capture on film.

Loved the 'Austin Powers' efforts of the Datto trying to turn around after the spin while staying off the dirt :D

I was already embarrassed enough looping in front of everyone then the "austin powers" effort to turn around pretty much topped it off. (not to mention that pesky gemini nipping at my heels with less than half the power!).

Was a pretty classic day. We couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise plus the viewing area was great.

how did the steering arm come off? no split pin? Did it just drop out?

It was an adjustable tie rod end, and the adjustment bit had somehow undone. it has locking nuts on either side of it...?? the thread on the inside was all clapped out.. nfi really how it came to be not attached.. just going to get rid of them.

Also - Incar video around morewell.

Was a tops day :) .....as always thanks to everyone who made it happen :laugh:

First time at Morwell and it was a fun little section of road....even if it doesn't suit a GTR very well! Was consistant all day until I found some dori action at the fish hook and then finally pulled my finger out for my last run. Watching Chris drift the Gem and the Morwell locals in the fully sik magna were two highlights :)

Glad to hear nothing got bent on the way home Ryan :P

Tell that to Aaron! He carved that place up last time we were there.

Glad to hear you had day all, and glad to hear you and your car are fine after the incident Ryan! Morwell is good fun >_<

Looks like all had a fantastic day....

Good to hear nothing bad happened to the car Ryan.

Hopefully I will be there at the next event.

Sorry I missed it, I was in Adelaide watching PORT destroy Nth Melbourne.

PS Team B... Im sure the WRX will be back in the paddock soon enough....... !

    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL
