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!

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!

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.

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.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.

      1. The MX5 is small, light and fun to throw around at low speeds 2. Fuel economy is great 3. There's more than enough room for my day bag, and enough room in the boot for some shopping  4. I like looking at it My daily commute takes about 10 minutes of suburban streets, mostly 50kph, with about 6 roundabouts and minimal traffic Whilst the SS is a big comfy cruiser, that's all it is, and the fuel economy is about 3 times as much as the MX5's around town
