Hey guys thought I would put this in motorsport section just because I was interested in peoples views on SAU. Speak to a lot of mates who are very 'MEH' on the topic of taking their cars to the track.

Feel free to obviously express other things that are not in poll.

hahaha

I was like I voted!

anyhoo, I did 6 in 2011

4 MRA rounds (consisting of 1 x qual, 3 x races apart from last round where was 2 x qual and 2 x 3 races)

and 2 supersprints

Did the SAU RENEW thing, the SAU day in December and a couple of days with SSCC.

Eastern creek and Wakefield.

Hopefully my oil issues are now sorted as only doing one session per day has been very annoying to set the least.

Bring on the sprints.

I didn't get my nugget out once last year....

Initially it was a bit of a lack of interest as work was sucking the life out of me and then i had a week in port douglas around june and 5 weeks in the uk and europe in september and then a weekend in melbourne in november that wasn't cheap and then the year was over and i had no money left.

boo f**king hoo i hear you all say :P

I'm planning on getting out again in the next month or so, try and get around 4 days in this year.

10 supersprints in 2011 between Jan and Nov.

Very happy to get such high usage out of my track only S13.

Stoke that I set new PB's at every event except 1.

Sucks that is was only at 2 racetracks - EC and Wakie being the only 2 race circuits in NSW now!

2012 I've promised myself to do at least 1 trip to Vic (Winton or P.I) just for a change of scenery.

Go and give MDTC a run. If the S13 is well sorted suspension wise, you'll have an absolute ball!

Four events for 2011, and not a gravel rally in sight :(

Too many competing interests including work demands. Might be a bit easier for 2012 but funds dictate it will probably be a similar number this year.

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
