It's looking very much like this will be the last Texikhana at the Sutton Road complex. Worse than that, after MASSIVE interest early, only 20 people have stumped up the cash for the current event so unless we get 6 more entrants by friday morning, IT WILL BE CANCELLED!

We have plans for other, more local, Texi styled events next year however none will include the famed back track of Sutton Road. We plan the event around 40 entrants so at 26, if we get them, you will get plenty of goes. If it goes ahead this will be your last chance. If it doesn't, we've already missed the boat.

If you're thinking about entering, please do so immediately.

Come on people! Everyone that went last time had a blast! It's a great day to get out and see what your car can do in a safe and fun environment!

Also a great way to meet more people in the club and put some faces to names.. and enjoy a drink or two the night before!!!

No really, I will be very upset with the club members if they don't join up and make this happen by coming along.

I have not been able to be involved in any motorsport (barring karts over a year ago) for almost 2yrs now and if this doesn't go ahead I will be bitterly dissapointed, and more than likely stop entering any motorsport from this point forward. :D

Please, for the love of god (and my motorsport addiction) join up so we can continue to have great events organised by great people, in this here great state of NSW.

Do it.

Hope i am not in the class of members that acted keen then pulled out...

I am still keen, very keen in fact, but pulled out because of the screamer pipe issue...Just didn't want to be the guy who instigated SAU or Sutton rd complex receiving bad press due to noise...

Anyway hope you get the numbers...

Sorry guys, if my car was in one piece I would definitly be there... :dry:

Get your butt to Sydney and drive my 200ZR back down :D

Come on peoples.... lets get involved...

All participants from the previous Texi's have had a blast to the best of my knowledge... I know the screamer pipe rule knocks a couple of people out but we usually have much more of a turnout by this point!

And I can promise that I'l try and get Smoky to dress up again :(

if the skid pan was not so small then i would make more effort to go... i think the piss up the night before hand would be more fun then the driving excersizes.. hope no one takes this the wrong way. If i can sell this rb25det for $1700 i will go for sure.

Not directed at you bud - just want less people without genuine reasons why they cannot make it.

People saying "I am interested", then nothing heard back from them don't help the cause because this is what the club gauges interest from for these types of events. If they then fail to attend, the club goes in the red for it, and generally wont run events again, like this thread expresses.

Those with genuine reasons are obviously not at fault, and when that happens, there is not much that can be done.

Yep, understand....

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
