I'm in. Been a while but it's just like riding a bike right? Except I'm in a car... Ahwell, I'll just stick to my old ways. When in doubt... Burn out.

See you all soon!

Reppin for the North East (f**k Campbell).

Filling out the form right now... ...Making payment soon...

Got my helmet today and have spent the afternoon making a bracket for my fire extinguisher...

Good work.

Time for a reminder if you rock up to scrutineering with a loose fire extinguisher, Maccas wrappers in the back seat, loose carpets, missing wheel nuts, loose battery, amp held in by cable ties, crappy beaten up helmets or anything else like that you'll be told to go and sort it out. The supp regs are clear about how the car is to be presented so get it right the first time. Telling the scrutineer that 'it passed at the last drift day at winton' doesn't mean anything. We aren't vicdrift scrutineers :)

Fire extinguishers need to have metal brackets!

I've read over the PDF in the original post a number of times and spoke to Martin on the GOR cruise and via PM to make sure I've got everything covered... ...Paperclips are metal... :whistling:

lol, that! The last Vicdrift day I was a passenger at they let the car I was in on with only 2/4 bolts holding the passenger seat in. My trips around Winton in the car throughout the day were interesting.

not to forget:

Competitors must wear non-flammable clothing extended from ankles to neck to wrists. Nylon clothing is not permitted. Shoes must be closed toe.

this goes for passengers as well.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
