Sau-Sa Track Day #4

[subliminal]

Yeah I wont be making this any more..

Car has been at a workshop for the past week having the finishing touches done before run in and power tune on my new engine.. put coolant in the new radiator today, pressurised the system, didnt hold pressure, check for leaks, nothing apparent. Long story short, during the final check before putting it on the dyno for run in, checked the sump and its full of water..... game over, out it will come. So f**king over it.

[scandyflick]

Dude... That's f**king rough. Not cool.

[subliminal]

Its worse considering the parts list behind it and how much has gone wrong along the way. Dropped so much money on this thing and have seen no benefit to date, its really depressing. Think along the lines of sleeved SR with 90mm CP pistons (2189cc..), tomei cams, rb25 box, gtx3071r, 740s, z32 etc etc.

sorry to hear about that Jason.

[Madaz]

sorry to hear of your engine troubles

who's turning the tools for you

[1gtr]

Jase, you had better clear up why their was water in the sump. Some people may know who has worked on the car and make assumptions as to what went wrong and who was to blame......

[subliminal]

Turns out the water issue was my fk up.... All sorted now but still won't make the track day.

[Madaz]

you fill the radiator up via the oil filler good to hear it wasn't a workshops fault

[subliminal]

Isnt that standard practice?

But on a serious note, what happens to the $200 I paid for this track day if I cant make it? If its either lose the money or not do it I'll take the N15 daily out!

[andz]

perhaps put it towards the next track day maybe

[180or200]

I'm out.

Car was all loaded, just took it for a spin and lost 3rd and 4th in the gearbox. devoed. really needed to get some me time. damm.

Bring on the next gearbox.

Ill try have it ready for the next track day.

[Jap_star]

On a positive note. Finally got off my ass and made a mount for in car footage. Ready for a great day out there

[On Edge]

all ready

[Nightcrawler]

There is a meet point at Caltax Bolivar for anyone interested at 7:30am - leaving 7:40am SHARP (unless I am late )

I will have $1.50 cans of drink for sale out there (Coke, Zero, Fanta, Creaming soda, Lemonade, Lemon Squash, Passiona) , as well as some $1.50 muffins, lamingtons and donuts for those with hunger pangs. More substantial meals are available at the Mallala pub and the IGA/deli in Mallala.

See you all tomorrow for a big one!

[Krishy]

all ready

Well I am all good to go. Just have to fill the car up and 3 Jerry cans tomorrow morning.

I will be at the meet spot

Just haven't changed the brake pads as I am not confident in doing them myself. I have seen it done a fair few times just don't have the confidence to do it atm. Hopefully the current pads will last the punishment. There is about half life left in the pads up front and same for the rear. I have a brand new set of QFM A1RM's with me that I will be bring out to the track and hopefully someone can lend me a hand in changing the pads if need be Also hoping that 3 jerry cans will be enough.

Looking forward to this track day

Dang Adrian sorry to hear in other news there is a RB25 box in the for sale section

[Madaz]

Adrian see >>Here<<

Guys, just a quick note to clear any confusion regarding deposits.

The club pays for the track day regardless of who goes or who doesn't.

It's very easy to say that people dropping out last minute won't lose their deposits because it can be automatically applied to a future track day, but imagine if half the entrants did that??

Who then pays for this particular track day?

I hate to be a pain here but we need to be realistic.........if your are dropping out for whatever reason, please try and get someone to fill your spot.

[subliminal]

I can accept the fact that I will lose my deposit; will I get the extra $100 back or is the whole $200 gone?

[SLED]

just deposit bud..
