Did they inform you of the likely number of runs you'd get for the day? I would have thought they'd give you some idea how many runs you'd get (like track days). I know the competitors who paid something like $190 on Saturday only got 6 runs.

I'm guessing too that the $90 included the $25 day licence?

Saturday was funny. Some guy in a 180B did his burnout at the warm up area in preparation for his first timed run, and all I smelt was clutch. Poor guy couldn't get up the first section to the first turn. Rolled down the high backwards and failed trying again. Surely, he must have known his clutch was gone before he entered on the day. And he blew $190 odd. At least you made it up the hill to the finish line 5 times for $90. :P

nope, they didnt tell us what to expect. they did tell us they had over 100 particpants, from memory, somewhere around the 110 mark or more, when we were led to believe the max was 75.

and yes, the $90 included the day licence. even then, $65 for under 4 minutes of track time*? yeah, f**k that.

*im not counting time at the warm up pad or any of that as track time.

turns out 'collingrove hill climb' is sccsa speak for 'shit value for money'.

$90 for 4 runs up the hill.

    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
