Is a very fair call E.

I'm still taking everything they say with a grain of salt - but what can we do? Is better to inform them of the meet and hope they behave, than have a unit stumble across it and call in the SWAT team.

The officer I spoke to said 'if you guys play the game, then we'll play the game' - in reference to us behaving ourselves. Lets hope they treat this as a valuable PR exercise - and perhaps a bit of education to the Po's - that we're capable of having a civil, organised meeting with no trouble.

That said - they haven't exactly bent over backwards to incite our trust in the past, so if you are concerned - don't bring your car :D

Also:

SGSKY: I would like to apologise for my unfriendly response in the previous post. Was having a bad day. You asked a fair question - and I unleashed. Sorry :)

I spose we can only hope. At the very least you've done the right thing and informed them of the meet. It gets it out in the open and proves we aren't trying to hide anything.

In any case, I have other plans that night so I won't be there. However for me to bring the car to any sort of meet the current climate with the Police will need to warm up a quite a bit more than the frosty chill which exists now.

This is a step in the right direction tho.

All the best for it fellas. I hope I'm wrong about the police treating it as one big the sphincter of the universe Shoot.

you have to remember tho that if u act like a spastic u deserve to be bent over like one... even outside the meet on the way there or home.

Steady there Nark, I couldn't agree more. I would be shocked and dismayed if any SAU member did act like a spastic. I'm positive everyone would be on their best behaviour.

However this would not stop the police handing out EPA notices and canaries at will, or hassling ppl just because they feel like it.

Most ppl would agree that simply driving up the road to the shops can be enough to attract unwanted attention from the Law.

that all comes down to bad PR for them... which is where contacting ACA and the like comes into play

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
