Well I cant see that SAUSA members bar under your name...

Why? Because you were cowardly enough to suggest that my 'feedback' was 'childish' and despite my request for you to clarify your accusation, you chose not to address it, and I have to assume that you're a coward, full of hot air, piss and vinegar. No substance, commitment or backbone.

Theres no confusing fishpaste and a book. For a start, a book has a spine....

Of course I'm human, I could be wrong. We'll let third parties be the judge..

Love Dohmar

Go Go! Go Dohmy Go! Go Go Go! GO! DOHMY BE GOOOD....

cant resist.

And then decide to pay for an SAU membership just so they can get a discounted track day at the expense of those who are already members. I'm sorry, but I do not agree with the reasons given. I didn't join SAUSA to subsidise wannabe drifters at the expense of skyline enthusiasts who want to improve their driving skills.

im sorry, discount?

200 bucks is 200 bucks no matter which way you slice it.

adrians track day back in august was $192.50, with, i think, $92.50 required as a deposit. this sausa(ge) track day is $200, with a $100 deposit required by march 1st.

discount?

what category do i fall under? the wannabe drifter? or the skyline enthusiast?

After all, if someone is only joining to get a cheap track day and doesnt care about every other aspect of SAUSA, should we cater to them rather than those who embrace the scene as a whole?

im not joining to go to a cheap track day (see above). nor am i joining to support sausa(ge). ideally, id join gsr/evo with chad, but because i want to enjoy a track day with my friends, im fronting the cash to get membership.

and i know itll shit you off, you dont want us wannabe drifters in your club. :blink:

now wheres that post about person of the year...

SASupra will be free to attend should we not be able to raise the numbers needed. but at this stage it is for members only

the amount of enthusiasm that i have seen on this site for a trackday is quite amusing as i have spent YEARS trying to drum up interest on the Supra forum for a club trackday and have only gotten less than eight people signed up each year.

this is a compliment - well done on filling the spots so quickly. i'm sure that this test bodes well for more SAU trackdays

Unless there are any more helpfull discussions on this topic pls don't demean this event with posts referring to drag racing and how much better it is than track days.

Stay on topic pls people.

the only thing i would like to add is perhaps a better way to do things in the future, how about listing SAU:SA events in the SAU:SA section of the forums first, so that only SAU:SA members can read/enter them and then move/repost the topic in the general section to then advertise and invite non-members along to them after the nominated time period?? (and that way ordering by paid members/willing to pay members/the rest of us chumps would be easier)

I wasn't able to attend the exec meeting the other night due to work commitments but you do raise a valid point Luke that probably warranted more discussion on the night.

Unfortunately, as Luke has already stated, the level of interest has caught everybody off guard (which should be viewed as a positive for the club) and in hind's sight, maybe an ad in the "member's only" section 1st may have been somewhat fairer for current members.

However, the "member's preference" arguement stands, and as a committee our job is two fold;

1). To care for existing members and attempt to cater for their needs and 2). To grow a successful members list which leads to a strong club with more resources.

Now it's time for everyone to take a deep breath and rest assured that all the raised points are valid ones and will be taken into consideration for the next track day........as there will be many more, judging by the level of interest. :blink:

Rest assured people, this is NOT the one and only track day SAU-SA will be hosting. If you don't get in now, I'm sure Luke will keep your names on record for future track days. Especially given the successful response to this one, we will have another track day organised in the not too distant future.

:P

Nene and/or myself will check the bank transactions at the end of each week, up until the 1 March deadline. Then confirm payments with Luke's list.

:cool:

Very true Craig...always better to pit yourself on a track against peeps that you know (bragging rights etc) rather than someone you've never met before.

Makes for a more enjoyable day as well.

also the members that haven't been able to go on this particular track day will get first preference on the next.

we will notify the member base differently next time and all comments will be taken under revision.

if this is as successful as it looks and members really do want more then i don't see why we can't put a few more on this year (subject to talking to the Executive Council)

also i hear there will be a free BBQ for SAU members, mmmm sausages'n'bread

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
