Haha its not the flaring I'm worried about, I'm on the last 3 centers to be sanded then away for paint, this is the easy part

Still have to sand/prime/paint inner barrels

awaiting front lips and center hex's to be polished

and still waiting on new bolts and nuts

then new tyres and alignment and then flare

But once the rims are together then it's all pretty easy

yeah, that's why i asked about the entrance, was a little dicey when we used this venue a few years back. And i think there's only one entrance as well... someone was going to do a recce i believe to check.

i 'just' (as in scraped) last time in my GT-T and the reason i brought it up is, from memory, it was some sort of dirt entrance, so it would have had the chance to hollow out a bit since

and back then we didn't really have anyone from the 'stanced' crowd... and if we get some of those type cars showing up, there might be some issues... that's all i'm saying.

yeh exactly right SS8

as long as its rectified before we go.. like myself and ss8 we actually have lowered gtrs with ztune front bars not gtt's with kingsprings or gtrs made for the twisties

like the saying "tyre to guard gap is like a chicks box.. the more fingers you fit the worse it is"

i would of come but im not payin 50 lol

dude, you don't have to pay $50! 50 gets you a membership IF you want one. You can go to the this event FOR FREE, but if you want to win prizes/be judged etc, you have to be a member. The $50 membership price is 1) damn cheap 2) gets you much more than just 'eligibility' rights for a SnS, allows you to get a LS2 CAMS license, discounts from club supporters, access to club only events etc etc etc

as for the entrance, if could be fine... i don't know. I just remember last time it was a little tricky to negotiate.

The type of car does not matter, in fact there are plenty lower cars than ours Anthony... and a SnS is for everyone, hence all the categories, so please be mindful of this.

EDIT:

Ok, here's a pic - i think that was one of the issues last time, the parked cars made it hard to get a decent angle, but i suppose that's out of anyones control really...

Apologies is this is not the entrance and i'm thinking of something else

Checked entry on the weekend, if you car can make it over any speed hump then your fine.

basically the entry has a lip of about 5 cm then a gentle slope to get in.

We'll work something out (e.g. wood/ramps) if we have any issues.

Surely no need to keep talking about the entrance?

Next it'll be "what happens if it rains"...

Usually I'm the one to ask haha. But seriously...will this park turn into a swamp if we get some rain prior to the event?

We have a dozen bollards. We can finally use them :yes:

I didn't realise the entrance looked like that...Pack it out with some wood and it should be alright to get into.

    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
    • Yup. I actually just blew my turbo. LOL.  should have checked this thread before today. i also have no boost solenoid. so it should be...one line from wastegate to turbo inlet, and a T somewhere in that line that connects to the wastegate return pipe?
    • It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
    • Are you telling me I'm going to need a code reader etc to just change the battery when it dies...  Why did I let you talk me into allowing Kate to buy this car lol
