Hey Bec, Just wondering what's the latest I can cancel my booking? My car is off the road at the moment and I'm not sure if I'll have it going in time.

RB25 time hey, poor engine.

lol cable tie is still holding my throttle cable in place :) hahaha im lazy as.

quality !

and i know what you mean i still have to fix my seat belts, i haven't had seats in the car to attach them for a while :)

woop woop more s13's :)

i don't know about more :) i almost had to bring my S12 when i found engine damage, but ALOT of hard work has turned that frown around.

and i cant beleive how fidley/delicate sr20's are, omg :)

I think there's a lot more to it than SR's are or are not delicate.

Like any engine, they wear out and we all know that SR's also like to throw rocker arms (at high revs) but both of those situations can be avoided by the owner easily enough. To reduce the wear and tear a good owner is going to be paying attention to oil control, quality, etc. Every engine in the world will throw a rod, spin a bearing etc with no oil, bad oil, no oil control (baffling etc if you spend a lot of time sideways blah blah)

A well kept SR can be flogged day in day out and they will hold up very well so long as a safe rev limit is observed (unless rocker arm stoppers are fitted) and oil issus are kept at bay by regular changes, oil control (where applicable) and just general common sense (so many times I've seen guys spin out at the track/on the street and keep revving the crap out of the car with no sump baffling then they wonder why the engine starved of oil and spun a bearing) A mate of mine did this exact thing to his SR not long after getting it because he wanted to go for a slide (knew it had bad oil in it) and didn't let up, a few grand later he's a bit more cautious.

I'm not one for throwing money away so I'd like to keep my little CA intact for as long as possibly while still enjoying it so some of that comes down to me and some of that comes down to how the car was treated by its previous owners.

EVENT SCHEDULE

Everyone please take the time to read over the Event Sched. as it is different to all other Decas. If you have any questions please put them up in the thread so i dont have to answer the same question 20 times.

The biggest change is the morning sessions. Instead of being in 2 different groups, all 50 cars will be divided into 3 groups and will rotate from the pan to the mini wang to the long wang. each group will start at a different event to save time.

This may or may not be a success but im sure it will help if people understand where they are going. As we have said the reason we decided to run this deca was so that we could try a couple of new things. All this will be explained at the drivers briefing also.

lol I reckon I'll be right there with ya (sliding out and going backwards that is)

It's such a fun environment though that you have a blast no matter what direction you're going in.

as for the Evo... don't like ya chances but for all I know you could be gods gift to driving and just decimate all lol

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
