Hey guys,

Some AWESOME news!

Ive worked my magic with our insurance company, long story short the costs for this event have been reduced.

What does that mean for you?

The Texi entry fee has been changed, by more than HALF! Thats right, HALF!

The day now is $40 per driver

So you've got to ask yourself; How can you go wrong for $40???

Is your entry form in yet?.........If not - enter, NOW!

Form attached and general event thread is linked below

Cheers

-Steve

Borrow a car from your parents/sister/brother/best mate/girlfriend or whoever!!! This is the kind of event where you DON'T need to have heaps of power to get around the course quickly, as it's all about being able to maneouvre around the cones as efficiently as possible. But more than that, just get out there and HAVE SOME FUN!

In.

Andy also said I can use his 33 for one run :banana: but im affraid that will bring back memories...

:banana: Now thats more like it!!!

Come on kiddies, dont be shy this event is going to be pure awesomeness x11ty!!!

If you arent book in then :banana:

DO IT!! :)

This is the kind of event that you'd bring along your vid-cam to! :)

If you don't have one, get a loan of one! :yes:

The footage alone is worth more than the 40 bucks! :yes:

Ever seen an advertising billboard goin' sideways across your front windscreen? :D

And if your handycam isn't fixed to your car, it'd be worth having a trusty SAUer (or shotgun) film you doin' it :D

Extinguishers!!!!!!

answer me!

Needs to be installed and not loose..... some options are to use a pre existing bolt point, or remove passanger seat and use some mounting points from that...

does it have to be bolted?

Like I can cable tie it yeah?

Bolted = Yes

Cable Tied = I'll let an official organiser / scrutineer answer that.

Any motorsport i partake in, cable ties wouldnt suffice.

edit - I read the entry form

whats the go with extinguisher? I dont really want to drill holes in the golf to mount.

Come on Jase you've been around long enough to know :D

Must be secured, if the scruitineer gives it a shake and it moves you're not going to pass. Also the extinguisher has to easily accessible from the drivers seat, so if you "were" to do the cable ties you'll have to use a shitload of them and make sure none of them interfere with the extinguisher coming out in a hurry. In saying that though, I wont accept cable ties on the day and scruitineers will be told the same.

I know a car like your wont have a problem/need for the extinguisher, but insurance is a PITA and we have to do what they say :D

The best way to do it is like this (i dont want to drill in the supra so ive done this using the existing bolts);

Yeah I do know, but I wanted to know the scruitineers/your opinion on how it should be attached......in non permanent ways as opposed to someone who wants to have it permanent or didnt mind making holes.

Thats the answer I was after.

I'll have a look into how hard that will be. because I really dont wanna be drilling holes and shit.

I'll give it a go.

Good stuff :P

Note in my setup there's no perm holes, the screws into the wood dont go through the wood to the carpet, once i dont need it i just undo the bolts on the seat rails, slide the brakets out then put the seat rail bolts back in - no one will ever know

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
