Deca Wrap Up Thread

[MissJuz]

What a great weekend! I haven't been to a Deca since November 2007 and I had an absolute blast. Still just as much fun but with a lot of new faces....

Thanks Adam for letting me drive Big Red (Again!), you're the best! Big Red is just amazing now and so solid compared to last time I drove it. At least we had traction at the start of the day this time!

Saturday night antics were fantastic!

Highlights of the weekend for me:

BIG RED!

Launches from the 32 GTR, that has to get my vote as one of the best cars of the day!!

Making balloon animals for Bec & Dee

Scottsman throwing salt at Ryan

Adam Hot Saucing Scottsman!

Certain People decorating The Stigs Car

Making a singing Sombraro Bush in the main street.

Dancing like an idiot to some cheesy band and one SAU guy who will remain nameless that knows the words to every verse of Time Warp.

Listening to Shepparton Girls Burp and talk about girl fights in the ladies toilets at the Ozzy, they should have gone to the mens.

Thanks to the officials and everyone for volunteering their time to make another great SAU event.

thanks again to all the organisers and volunteers, it went really smoothly... everyone got through with plenty of time to have a break for lunch and for some smokeshows at the end of the day... everyone knows 33GTSt's are teh donut kings!

Sorry we didn't eat with you guys at the Mexican joint but I had some major sucking up to do to the missus... when we did rock up I was impressed to see what would have to be the biggest turn out ever... and it was farkin mayhem in there!... you animals! lol I always feel kinda bad for any other customers who happen to try and have dinner at the same time as the SAU clan... they should be warned hehe

from now on I shall be known as Nick, Professional RB Killer... the diagnosis is as suspected so its at the doctors awaiting surgery... thanks to Tim and Mick for the tow back to the caravan park and for Jack for coming out to Shep on his day off to rescue me!

[NickR33]

haha troublemaker... No it didn't Nath, but it did develop a bottom end knock... sounds like it picked up one of the bearings... I wasn't as nice to it as you were, I gave it some major rev limiter love... was trying to overcome the weight of the Bigbird sitting in the passenger seat!

[R32Big_boy]

Fu(k you.

lol at Jarrod.. you had me there for a sec.

I would have thought it was capable of a bit of limiter love?... just unlucky I guess.. very sad news

[femno]

WOW what an insane weekend! Thats all I can say!

Firstly thanks to Ryan and Bec for arranging a spot for me, I know the tuesday entry was a big ask! Cheers!

Thanks to everyone else who had a part in organising and running the weekend! A great job was done!

Russell that pic is awesome! Thanks Martin, some great photography in there! Launching all weekend was great fun!!! There was some great driving out there this weekend! Was great to meet new people too!

I have quite a few phone pics from Saturday nights events...ill post them up as soon as I can. I thought the food was pretty good, although the 2 hour wait wasnt, oh well, gave us more time to drink all those fishbowls!

[NickR33]

Yeah it should take a lot of abuse but just got unlucky... that's cars for you, sad but nothing that can't be fixed... anyway enough sob stories, back to Deca chat... this thread needs more pics and video!

[UNR33L]

^ what he said

oh and femno's launches were fantastic! that car just squatted down and flew, nice work

[llama_au]

Does that mean that there is a manual conversion for the Pulsar on the cards, some time soon(before next DECA)?

Yup, that's what I'm aiming towards - not before next DECA though. It's a little expensive.

[UNR33L]

made a nice avatar with your pics martin thanks for posting them up

[180Roman]

Ouch! But as long as you had fun thats the main thing Cars can always be repaired (and its half the fun of being an enthusiast!)

Ill see what pics I can scrounge from Saturday nite...

Also it was great to see 70 odd people turn up at Baz,s it was like ol times.

In thanking everyone i forgot to mention Micolour.. Thanks Mick

[llama_au]

what are you going to use a strengthened SSS box?

N15 SSS box + PAR 1st-5th billet straight cut gearset + crown wheel and pinion + heavy duty clutch + Nismo 1.5 way LSD is the plan. Need to get the driving down pat first, in the meantime I can save.
