Import Monster Sauvic Deca Wrap Up Thread- Round 2, 2013


Recommended Posts

Thank you to the event organisers and volunteers who despite to awful whether kept smiling and kept the day running. So glad to be driving at DECA again, missed it so much. You could not wipe the smile off my face, it gave me a new level of respect and appreciation for my car. I weirdly enjoyed DECA in the rain. Was also great to catch up with everyone. Bring on next DECA!

PS. looking forward to pics/vids :)

Thank-you so much to all the organisers and volunteers withstanding the rain!
Had a blast with the stagea in the rain despite my constant failure at trying to finish reversing at the battles, sorry to the cone people fixing my mistake. :blush: hahaha
The stagea and I sure did love the wet skid pan, many fun were had making the hearse go sideways. :bunny:

Thanks for yet another great day.

My wife and sister helped out sitting up on the hill at the long wang just so there was enough officials.

Big shout out to organisers and volunteers.

Even though it was really wet it was still very fun.

That cressida leroy peterson was one of my favorite cars on the day.

Good driving and sounded good.

Whats in it?

I meant to come over and have a chat but never got a chance.

Thumbs up to the organisers. Day went well even with the less than ideal weather. Got a better idea of what the Prius will do if it rains at PI but really hoping it doesn't.

Wasn't mine, just chucked my camera on it before the battle. Was a pretty cool car

Cressida belonged to Chris Taylor I think? Not sure on his username here though!

Great DECA despite the weather. Thanks to all the volunteers that stood out in the rain! Thanks to Mustafas Kabab's who fed me all weekend. Thanks to Anna and Luke who very generously offered to tow my car in the case my engine finished itself off. Just shows you the SAU community is second to none!

Highlights:

Green Fairy and tobasco sauce shot. Really cleared the sinuses.

Backwards entry into the basketball court.

Photo bombing at the GV

Daz' argument with a vegitarian at the Kebab shop

Tony touching up the male waiter.

Tony biting my ear.

Matt destroying the toilets at the Aussie

360s in Keiren's car

Denim jacket.

Despite the bad weather and a slightly bent car I also had a great time. Always great to have a weekend with this crew. Abbi and friends enjoyed the day so thanks to those of you that took them for a spin. Kinda glad Abbi wasn't in with Campbell when he exited the track lol. Vid will be up soon for those that haven't seen it. Bring on the next one.

Thanks to Ryan, Bec, Wayne-o, Anna and all volunteers for doing their bit to make the day possible standing out in the wet conditions.

I had SO MUCH fun this DECA!!! (despite being sick as a dog).

Thanks to all the volunteers (the day wouldn't have run without you all), thanks Leon & Ryan for helping with all the organising, thanks to Kev for letting me and Sam race the work cars, thanks Penrite Oils for donating prizes for the top 3 placers this event and a HUGE thanks to our 2013 event sponsor Import Monster.

So many funny stories from this weekend. The crew certainly stepped up to provide some "haha" moments.

Um wow... Lucky they got out ok. Can hear the devastation in Campbell's voice as he loses it - luckily he can fix it though so all is good in the world.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
