Calling all SAU Gold Coast residents!

Drag Combat is on Saturday 21 February at Willowbank Raceway.

I was thinking we should meet up somewhere early in the day and cruise up as a group. How does BP Coomera @ 8.30am for 9am departure sound? Anybody reckon we should leave earlier?

The cost to spectate is $30. So start saving now. :) FREE parking is available or you can pay $8 for "premier" parking.

It will be a full day event. I believe the gates open at 8am with racing finishing around 4-5pm.

Last years Drag Combat was awesome... Don't miss it this year!

i'm in it, last year was so packed, just abit dissapointed from the short cut we've taken through the back, cause when i got home and opened the bonnet all i could see is RED sand. i will definitely will pay the $8 prem parking :) that would be cool to see all our crs parked next to each other, would be the biggest attraction there........Yeee Ha... :headspin:

Pred: Cause Brisbane residents are weird :D Just kidding!

Your more than welcome to come as well as any other Brissy residents. I just figured most of the Brissy people would come out Ipswich Rd rather than backtracking down the M1.

Maybe we should stop at Redbank plaza and meet up with Brissy guys before continuing along to Willowbank?

The $8 premier parking isn't worth it. It's no different to the normal parking except it's on the other side of the fence and the thieves don't have to walk as far.

I dont think I'll be taking my car out. We'll take brutis out I think.

Hahahaha

Anyway I will be a drag combat a little earlier me thinks, am swinging spanners for GTR_Cam trying to get some good times out the newly tuned 33...

Yeah heat can be a bit of a bummer......but a bit of prep time makes all the diff, big sunshade, lightweight seat, sunblock and a couple of eskies full of ice and cold drinks in the boot ...... think of the poor competitors in the staging lanes !!! and finally....this IS Queensland. ..... Still hope to see you there

    • I don't know how this is even possible. I removed the strut to do some work (it came out fine, and keeping in mind that I didn't put things back in the same order, but did this on purpose because I was supposed to remove the strut originally instead I tried to remove other shit first which made things a head ache) but now the problem is that it won't go back in. The alignment between where the bolt hole for the strut is and the j arm where the strut slides onto is way off, about a 10cm difference or more. In order to make it fit I'd somehow need to push it up. I tried to compress it with a spring compressor and install it but the compressor was getting in the way and there was no working room. On the photo you can see the difference between the shock and the thread that it's supposed to go on. The only things I removed in total were - the top bolts for the j arm but I didn't remove the actual j arm - the 3 bolts that hold the plate for the brake lines - the sway bar link (this bolted on back fine) - the strut/shock absorber
    • LOL that sounds pretty conclusive! Yeah if it doesn't work on a tight nut, it doesn't work.
    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
