Even with all those cars PIARC still moved through the groups at a rapid pace.

Good to see everyone around.

I hate two moments during the day, which in the end damaged the front splitter.

This on I was a little disappointed about as it could have been avoided with a little more consideration from the other car.

Chris and I were just crusing around on a cool down waiting for a gap, then blamb!

The day was fantastic, well worth the drive from Geelong, what an eye opener it was, good to get an insight before completely jumping into the deep end, hope to be entered in round 3. I got some photos, nothing fancy just lots of skyrice :)

I had an alright day in the end with battling mechanical issues on the day but still managed to set a fairly respectable time of 1:56.6. Was slower than my PB but was still good to get back out there and have some fun.

Looking forward to Round 2 and hopefully the car will be sorted properly by then. :)

Agreed... Totally stupid.

Was that Madden behind you as well Richo? Looks like he got put well out of place as well...

Could've easily been two cars fairly well destroyed because of nothing other than a total dick move.

Yeh Chris saw what was happening and bailed wide just in-case and went straight through the corner.

All the guy had to do was keep his inside line.

From natsoft I can see 23 SAU vic members, do we have any other SAU members who put themselves down under another club?

Yeah me! :)

I think I was in under PSCRV membership as I had that most handy at the time.

Sadly I didn't get a flying lap on Sunday (only Blaise got a session) but had a blast on Sat in the new little machine. Will be back out again soon.

:sick: Really happy I missed this one!

Haha if it makes you feel any better John, I don't have any GoPro footage to rub it in! But I'm sure the other guys can make up for it ;)

Actually I do! Damn GoPro battery died as I rounded the final corner on my next best lap (1:52.1504 vs 1:52.1412 so close enough!). A 51 seems so close...

Well I've had a lot of practice, that was my 13th day at the Island in 1.5yrs :D

Google Nexus wireless charger. Nexus 5 has metal discs in the chassis and charger has the magnets. Hasn't moved in daily driving, reefton runs or track.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
