Import Monster Sau-Vic Deca - Round 3 2011 Wrap Up Thread

hrmm...

Rear not locking would be the reason it wouldn't spin around on itself.

Perhaps it is stuffed as well

8000 launches might do that

[R31Nismoid]

LOL yes doing 7500rpm launches on Hoosier drag radials a few months ago might have made a mess of the rear diff too.

Usually i'd only launch @ 4000-4500rpm and it would turn tyres easy on the skidpan.

However there was addition of Racepace-spec Tiens... So was launching @ 6500rpm or 6700rpm, and it was still bogging on occassions as it just has heaps of grip now.

Felt heaps more settled on the back track too. Certainly worth the money.

so whats the estimated cost of fixing?

At least a grand give or take

[Sunkist]

fk. lol goodluck!

[Count Grantleyish]

I'm not certain as Ash's is v-spec therefore it has active LSD, it's complicated than standard mech diff

[Sunkist]

i thought it was an aftermarket diff he had in the front and rear from demolishing it previously? or am i thinking someone else.

[ssxRicho]

[R31Nismoid]

I've got a Nismo front diff, so it doesn't break again.

Stock rear diff though, they are usually fine so i'll just get another. I'll drop the shaft first and make 100% sure it's not working

[limpus]

LOL...whose tyre was that at the end of the clip?

[brentos]

Thanks heaps to the organisers, volunteers and sponsers for doing such a great job. I had heaps of fun, not just at DECA but on Saturday night too You guys sure know how to party haha

The pics and video footage look great! Can't wait to properly go through all the pics after work

[Odium]

That'd be Leon

[miniwog]

The barina did ok I think, was good to get back out there again.

Driving on Saturday hungover hurts. A lot. Yet it hurts a lot less than the pain of not making it

When you drop a wheel on the grass, you sure slide for a long.. long.. long time huh?!

Thanks go to the organisers once again for a perfectly run day, love your work guys!

Single Spinners FTW! - Well least thats what it looked like from the vantage point I had.... Hey, on the positive side- at least there was some smoke

Thanks again to the organisers, I had a great time and we couldnt have asked for better weather!

Big thanks to Wayne-o for the pre-dinner jagerbombs.... Has anyone else ever been kicked out of Baz's or am I the first one? I was apparently very happy, sociable and extremely loud- and told everyone "I LOVE LOVE Luke but LOVE youl"

Ahhh, good times! Sad that I will miss November DECA, but have the Skyline Nats to make up for it - bring it on!!

[N1GTR]

Thanks guys!

I thought his was slightly darker than that one-must just be the pic

[angel13th]

Nice day overall at DECA...

Thanks to the organizers and volunteers...

Where was the grass slide? Long Wang? I have a series of photos of somebody taking the scenic route past the garage.

Unfortunately for Jett, I not only have a picture of his impromptu hill climb event, I have a series of 9 pictures. I feel an animation may be produced later.

I had a great day, fantastically run as always!

[KezR33]

Perfect DECA.

Awesome weather, tons of fun, no major incidents, fun Sat night and a pleasant drive home. As always massive thanks to import monster, volunteers, and organisers.

I've also heard rumours about introducing a new hill climb event next DECA considering the last was so successful. Can anyone confirm this?
