Second post in here for me, but I had top say this again. You guys did an amazing job of keeping everything on track, and ensuring the night was entertaining. It is by far the best SAU meet I have EVER been to. The guys in SA set the bench mark pretty high for a great club full of terrific guys and gals who are plain just passionate about their cars, you guys met that benchmark.

Sincerely hoping you can all be involved as a team with CSA to get SkyNats 2012 the same sort of hit the SA guys made 2010.

Well done for an amazing, entertaining and informative night.

Every time I see JIm, he has a different story, and is there anyone more diplomatic than Him? I don't think so.

Food was amazing, service by the Trackside staff was even better. Looking forward to the next one you guys run.

This was a great night and I would like to thank the committee for organising such a good event - well done.

The venue and atmosphere was good and even driving up from Wollongong was not a problem. I will be definitely be attending any future events at this resturant.

And sorry Chubs for not recognising you with your new hair colour.....

On behalf of the Rotary Enthusiast of NSW, I would like to thank everyone involved from SAU (NSW) for organising this event and in particular, Stevo (N1GTR) for inviting us.

Our members have not stopped raving how good this night was. Brilliantly organised and ran like clockwork!

I too could have listened to Jim and Alan - even Terry, all night!

Thanks again.

Howdy guys!

Firstly, sorry for the loooooooooooooong delay uploading the photos from the night. I've been pretty busy moving to a brand new home, for some reason most of the hours of my days and nights have vanished! The photos are being uploaded tonight. So check back later for a linky!

thanks again to the organisers, Jim, Alan, Terry and everyone else involved :D

      Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.

      'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.

      So unsafe would you say now?   little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting

      Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
