It was good to catch up with some familiar faces and some new ones from the SAU crew. 'Build it and they will come'... and boy did the crowd turn up, cars parked along the road for klms in each direction.

It felt just like old times out there today, hey MattyR, MattyT, and Nightcrawler? I can't wait till the return to full 1/4 racing!

I saw Zappia run 4.29 @ 178MPH just before I left at 730pm.

We saw you wandering around in the distance with 2 other blokes at one point when we were on the concrete seats on the Southern side, but since we couldn't see much we wandered over and stood on the inside wall of the track for the rest of the day.

I just remembered I also spotted Heslo and Japstar too. I can't wait for the next one, it was sooooo good. I really enjoyed the motorbike stunts too. Parking was chaos, I got a park right near the ticket booth as I got there early in the day, but leaving wasn't so easy, I was boxed in by 5 cars :/

I can deal with that though, we needed the people!

The AdelaideNow article said more than 10,000, but I've heard it was 3 times that. By 6pm 26,000 tickets had been sold at the gates, with people still coming. That's info from FB. I'm inclined to believe it.

      After 4 years, checking if anyone has started/kept playing this. I still do on a fairly regular basis. If you do, let me know and I will add you to my friends list.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By tidi0x · Posted

      Yes, I've been thinking about how to fabricate something. Either how OP did it with an alloy sheet or more complicated. Because of the CD shifter protrusion I think I will need to build a raised aluminum box to clear, then I would reutilize the same OE seal just shifted back. When I went on my test drive I popped open the EWG and exhaust just filled the cabin, so it will need to be closed up.

      RB30 Struggles from idle

      By aimre · Posted

      Car is struggling to rev from idle when you accelerate normally to spirited, But it will get past 1000ish rpm if you feather it, and then is fine so long as the revs don’t drop again. Idles fine. Plugs come out wet as after a few min.  Things changed are: CAS, ARM and fuel reg from a engine that was confirmed working 2 years ago Injectors have been reconditioned  ECU has no codes Where to from here? Video of the issue can be seen here

      Exhaust setups for v35 in 2024

      By Redwing · Posted

      I am trying to get an aftermarket exhaust and browsing the threads for opinions. But most of them are almost over 10 years old. Just tryna look and see what exhaust setups people are using nowadays and what are yall opinions on them. Really want to find one that sounds nice and not as quiet as the stock but does not scream rice.
