bloody hell ive never been to an event with this much mechanical damage!

You haven't been around long enough.. Just wait until the cars start getting written off.. :)

Damn, who was the jinx?

there wasn't this much damage last time.

sorry to hear about everyones problems.

thanks for all the kind words.

please pm.regarding the 33 engine.

I think it was me being te jinx..:/

Mine was useless, BOV kept blowing off the pipe every run so NO power :/ then the coilovers shit themselves, to make it a trio the E85 I put in it was off and the car didn't make it home.....

Big thumbs up to Chookie and Ruxis for cruising at 40km/h with me for a few hours and a HUGE thumbs up to the HWP for cruising with me the last 1km before it died! :thumbsup:

PS - SAU events must be some of the best organized events of their kind, awesome to meet some great people... Will get stuck into repairs and not be a clown next time out ;)

That sucks man

Good to hear members looking out for each other and awesome that HWP looked out for you too :)

Major bummer bout the car Luke :( Hope it doesn't turn out to be completely fatal mate :)

we can rebuild it, make it stronger, faster, we have the technology!!

worse case, new engine.

This thread needs skid vids.

PLEASE, SOMEONE, HAVE A VIDEO OF MY 2ND/LAST RUN!

then it will have been 1/2 worth it.

written off?

havnt seen that....

and you werent there when i broke my car.

What could be more fatal than a engine out rebuild?

Well everything inside his motor could be as good scrap! Its a built motor so maybe some of his good stuff can be salvaged and the man doesn't have to fork out more $$$

Not at sau events but I've been to plent of days that have.

But I told you a week before it was a bad idea.. Lol

Guys it was great fun timing you bunch today, I had a ball. Completely stuffed now, but satisfied.

Things I learnt. If you want to rip skids all day, put in some surprisingly quick times, and not have a bit of fuss, buy a 30 year old corolla!

Luke sorry to hear about your motor. I think I remember you being pretty enthusiastic on the first run....there was even a comment about bearings.... :(

Was organised fantastically, and credit should go to Eric, Steve, Dave, and lots of other officials for organising a safe, fun, and relaxed day.

Funniest thing I saw was the r34 NA four door, that swallowed a cone. I dunno where it went, when I looked in there susp there was only 1/3 of the cone left! It ate it I think

agreed more skid vids, i missed mats first run so devo'd so much smoke it was crazy

i got skid pics to come in a few moments

Only run of the day where the car worked :( felt like such a dumb ass taking out that cone, got battlescars at least :P epic noob!!

AWESOME day. Big thanks to all that helped out and make it run so smooth.

I got a few good videos of assorted cars, will put them up on you tube in the coming days and post the links here.

So tired now, time for sleeps.

Great to see everyone and also met a stack of new people.

I shall dream of skids tonight....... vrooom vrooom ! HAHAH

    • So you're now accepting offers of 10% more than the cost of the turbo kit fitted?
    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
