We were there, we got there a bit late, about 11:45, and then we had an issue with the BBQ, one of the fittings didn't fit, so Madaz and I had to drive to Gawler to get the fitting. Cubes, Simon-R32 and co hung around till we got back though (about 1), then we started cooking and couldn't find many people...

I was running a bit late(12:30) , and on my way in I saw at least 6 Skylines coming back towards Adelaide, maybe people couldnt find anyone out there. I saw Mobies on its way out as well at the gates.....

I found them pretty easy though, Simon's Red R32 car was parked on the road in front of the sheds and it was pretty easy to spot.

Bit dissapointing no one really showed up.

Big thanks to Steve and anyone else who helped for the BBQ and drinks.

Cheers

was a good day, had issues with missing badly (vacuum leak), so meant i couldnt go hard on the straights. besides that worked out most handling and braking issues, need harder springs and shocks, SK's GB just isnt enough i dont think, great for the road but showing its weakness on the track with grippy tires.

got the old lady out there in the gold VT, that was good for a laugh :)

yeah thanks to those that turned up and too those that said they were coming and didn't everyone else can say WD to you cause i wont organise that again

thanks for organising the BBQ mate, you bought so much shit its a shame bugger all ppl rocked up after saying they would :)

yeah shame about that vac leak... I bet your knock sensors were working over time :rofl:

watched you do a lot of laps... car doesnt look like its suffering from lack of spring rate or under dampering issues... it does look more to be a wheel alignment/tyre pressure issue, and maybe push the car a little harder into turn 1 :D FWIW theres minimal body roll on the car considering you were running semi's

Yeh we were there, we parked on the grass section tho! Celica was having a few overheating temps, well what we thought 100deg was a bit hot, but once it hit 100-110 it didn't really go much higher! Track was shithouse tho, oil down at turn 3 and so windy, we were a solid 1 and a half seconds off normal pace, still got a flat 19 but were really looking towards 17s, but hey with this weather cant ask for too much! we even put new springs in th rear which help some of our handeling/understeer!!

Would have come over but we were busy trying different sus setups!!

How did that zip tie hold up Steve??

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing. 
    • Should be able to source 200 cell R32 cat... unsure how easy it would be to get it to Malta though.
    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
