I've driven home from DECA with my external gate ripped off my manifold before. It wasn't fun

NO HOMO

Nah, the 180 is going back in to get a proper tune and a few things sorted and will be back for Haunted Hills. I'll do another DECA in it though, next time. :D

Trailer it there, if something goes wrong it beats having to leave and come back to get the busted car.

I weighed up and decided that having to get home, get a trailer (or parts) go back fix or load the car then come home again was enough grief that trailering the car was worth it.

You know I hadn't even considered that...

Bec,, what's the go with parking our cars/trailers at the hotel?

I know I'm not the only one trailering.

On street parking for trailers.

What i would do is ring the motel and ask them if they have or know of a place you can park

Tudor Motel...58218411

You serious?

do you mean our car, trailer and the car we are towing all sits out on the street?

or just the trailer and towed car?

either way i don't really like the idea of leaving the track car on the street, especially in shep.

You will have a car space in front of your room. So you can park a car there.

But it will be 1 space.

I just spoke to the place and they said down the end where we are there's bout 8 spots to 5 rooms so it depends on who has trailers etc.

Getting in an out is a driveway type affair so if you drive in then you have to reverse out, there's no turning around etc. I asked as this is my first time towing a car so reversing it could be fun :D

He also said often times people park single cars in the spaces and cars with trailers then park in the driveway which blocks the single parked cars in.

There's also the street but I'm not sure I like the idea of leaving the Silvia out on the street.

I guess I could always take the silvia off the trailer and park it in the alloted space and leave the Ford and the trailer out front.

Have to play it by ear I reckon.

Dan, Bart and nicole are coming with us so they'll have a free car space for there room... But I already dibs it for my shoes. You can buy it off me if you want, all reasonable offers will be considered.

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
